    Rescued chick from cat (*Update* Coop page 26!)

    Thank you all for you kind words. It really means a TREMENDOUS amount to me to know people care. It eases the sadness. And yeah appylover, I just can't believe my brother ran RIGHT beside a burning collapsing house with burning tree limbs falling around him to save my chickens. My dad had...

    It definitely hasn't been easy by any means. It's an experience I wish on no one. Here's a before and after pic. The coop isn't too badly burned like I mentioned. Shocking considering we lost the whole house, everything in it, my dad's garage shop that his dad built and a car. A tree had even...

    Floyd is around 10 months old now. He's still as sweet as can be, though he's a bit rough on the girls' backs. I sewed them up some "chicken saddles" and it seems to be helping drastically. On April 14th, a man who bought the property behind my house had a brush fire going and it got out of...

    Yep! I saved Floyd and then had to get his a buddy, and now I'm brooding more girls :) I love them all!

    All because a cat wanted a chick dinner! The coop was made with all recycled material. Not a piece purchased besides the paint, fencing, and locks. The "new girl" in pic two came wandering into my field and had been just living there by herself for awhile until I caught her. She was beat...

    Thanks y'all! That cat is still around. I doubt Floyd remembers it was THAT cat, but he runs from only that one Should see him get after the other cats AND dogs we have. They're all afraid of him now. Floyd still lets me pick him up, carry him around, love on and nuzzle him. He's such a sweet...

    We're all great here! Calissa is laying pinkish green HUUUUGE eggs, about one a day! And Floyd is huge and gorgeous and doing great! I'm working on a 17ftx16ft closed in run and coop for them (yes, my dad and I have finally started building :P) Right now they've been living... everywhere...

    Pic's of the new girls, and maybe help ID'ing my wildcard chick?

    I too have an EE. She is the sweetest thing and she lets me cuddle her. The puffs they develop on the side are their face melt my heart

    Whats Happening to my Chicks??????? HELP

    I'm new to chickens and found out VERY fast how much can happen to them. When I started, I had mine in a dog kennel crate with open sides. This was a no-no. Too many drafts were hitting them because I didn't cover the sides and this led my silkie to become ill. Her immune system dropped and I...

    I think I'm just going to pick a perfect small coop from the coops section since the boyfriend said he would get me all the materials to build it. I know, my face when he said that was like I found this http://bham.craigslist.org/grd/2669984620.html which is very cheap but I'm afraid it would...

    Quote: I would SO buy that. It's really cheap and would fit perfectly in their area, but unfortunately by the time that I got down there to get it I'd have spent $100 in gas. I'm about an hour north of Birmingham. I'm going to check craig's list again to see if there's anything new up. Thanks...

    Back from the dead! I hope you all are doing awesome I've still been poking around BYC but haven't really had the time to post OR make a coop!!! But I did make them a huge 5ftx4ft area box so they have enough room to hang out during the day before I can come home and give them some outside...
