    I ended up getting 4 iowa blues from Ideal Poultry, 2 silver phoenix, 2 EE, and 2 welsummer. All but 2 arrived in great shape and have absolutely flourished. They have been so fun to play with and have around. They (especially the welsummer and EE that survived predators....) come running when...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Time to reminisce a bit... Reading this has me super excited for the 2 phoenixes I have coming in March. I'm getting a couple of 4 different breeds to try but hearing how friendly and neat the phoenixes are, I'm glad I have some coming.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I know that personally, I am very willing to learn what is more natural for them when they go broody so I can try to accommodate that as close as I can in their current environment. The thing is that I have no experience or information to draw from. Thats why I appreciate rants and advice so I...

    I do agree that it is a lot up to the individual themselves but there are breed tendencies. For instance, I know there are people whose flocks don't lay in winter, mine are all laying and I'm not doing anything to promote it. I don't provide artificial light or heat and the temp has ranged from...

    It's official! All three of my hens are laying. A second, who I am pretty sure is B, laid an egg on 12/31. This morning Blue was making a racket. I later found her in the nesting box making some pur/trilling noises. B joined her in the second box, which is the one I found the egg last year in...

    Which breed would you recommend

    I did seriously consider welsummers and hope to get one in my dark brown egger mix I have coming (barnevelder, cuckoo maran, and welsummer are the ones they are hatching this year) but I might just order some of them specifically. Thank you for pointing that out. I couldn't quite put words to...

    I've heard EE's have quite the personality. That's why I was considering them. That and who wouldn't like colorful eggs?

    Those are certainly very pretty! I'll definitely look into them. And good foragers, love land... they sound like a really good fit

    I know there are a lot of these threads and I'm sorry to add another one. But if you are here then that means you're interested, right? :oops: Ok on to the topic. I'm looking to expand my flock in a couple months and am questioning what I should do. I currently have a small band of 4 (cochin...

    All is well Later today I went out to the run to check the flock. There was no snow or frost on the little ladies and they were all energetic and lively as usual. Thankfully, the snowstorm didn't get to them too bad. #2 was in the coop getting ready to lay. However, she was on the roost and not...
