    Introducing the Handschin Homestead Flock!

    Thanks!!!! Lady is a healthy 115 lb girl, Black Jack is over 130 lbs. (still growing!) and I can hardly wait to hatch my own babies! Half my flock are Brahmas and I also have a healthy RIR boy to pair with the BR and Australorp girls.

    Introducing the Handschin Homestead Flock!

    My name is Heidi Liesel and these are my fellas and bellas!!! I get up to 19 eggs a day from my girls. Chickens and dogs are spoiled rotten. The Great Pyrenees are Lady Athena and one of her puppies (Black Jack). My father and I rescued Lady in November 2023 weighing only 45 lbs. soaking wet...

    Hello and chicken vocabulary help!!!

    I was actually asking for help to "dumb" these terms down to where 4 and 5 year olds would understand the terms, but it's fine. Been raising chickens for over 10 years, loved every moment with them, and hope to continue to raise them in the future. Right now, I've been getting up to 12 eggs a...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    I just need to get hold of my friend to see when she is firing up her incubator. Sadly, I lost my broody hen in December but she had to have been at least 8 or older. But I am planning on setting my RIR eggs as usual and perhaps some silky eggs too.

    Chicken run ideas - I REALLY need the input and pictures!!!

    That's a nice coop! Mine is just built into the barn with the (broken) run sticking out about 8'. But it's 42' by 10' inside. So in all, my coop is a 50' by 10' ft. coop for my chickens. Just gotta clean it and put down fresh shavings DLM style after I get out of college for Christmas break.

    Chicken run ideas - I REALLY need the input and pictures!!!

    And this is going to be done, whether my father wants to or not. I am sick of seeing raccoons on top of the run trying to get at my chickens from that window. It scares me. I've poked more coons than I care to count in the past year with my long stick, knocked it down, and they barely got away...

    Chicken run ideas - I REALLY need the input and pictures!!!

    Yes!!! Exactly like that so that when it rains and snows, the solid roof sheds it off instead of letting it get into my run, and soaking the sand I'm going to put down on the ground. Only thing is it's going to be a bit steeper because it is going to be attached to the barn over the window of...

    Chicken run ideas - I REALLY need the input and pictures!!!

    Hey everyone. Been SUPER busy with college these past few months that I haven't been able to get on here. Which I totally missed being on BYC. Anyway, earlier this summer, my father had a man come over with a chainsaw to cut some trees down. He sure wasn't that good at it as one of those...

    Our Babies are Now Backyard Free!!! (PICS)

    I'm in love with your gorgeous RIR rooster, silkie hen, SLW hen, EE hen, and BR hen!!! <3 :) Though, my RIR boy RJ, would probably give the stink eye for saying this. He thinks he and his girls are the prettiest around. Which they are lovely. And that includes the broody, her 7 chicks, and the...
