  4. This is Gretchen. She is wearing a bit of a lopsided hairdo so she can at least see out of one eye.

    Whats New In The Coop De Ville

    We have added a few chickens to the mix. I was able to sell a few and make room for the new kids on the block! We have added our Buff Orpington that are about two months old along with a few Columbian Wyandottes. I found out that they did not actually come from Columbia South America but may...

    New Chicks To Enjoy

    Well it is obvious that as a compulsive type personality, it would not take long to become over run with chick and chickens! This is most evident by the number of additions to our chicken inventory. I am sure it will cap out at some point but until I figure out when enough is enough, I am...

    Meet The Girls

    Meet "The Girls" I will introduce you to "The Girls". Some have been named and their personalities are evident by their character. I did not know how the raising of chickens could be so entertaining. We started our chicken adventure in early April with the purchase of our first four chicks...

    Another jelly egg!

    I have not seen any like this photo but I have had an issue with soft shells. We started feeding the hens a little yogurt. They love the stuff. In fact, the hen in trouble would eat it right out of the spoon as we fed her. I figured a little for all the hens would not be a problem. This...

    How do I introduce my dogs to my chickens/chicks?

    Our schnauzer was recently in a position to meet our hens and thought he would take his stance at them while the hens were in a fenced are. After the hens raised up and flapped their wings, one of them pecked the dog on the nose and he took off to go hide. He does still run after them if the...

    Flies????

    I am interested in your request as well. For right now, we are just using the fly tape in the coop and have not placed any closer to the house. They are just not that attractive to decorate your porch with.

    White Rock / Jersey Giant Breed

    This is new to me as well, I am curious just what I am in store for! I will post pics as the grow to share with you. They should be a good meat source given the size of the breeds and hopefully will mature fast. I have a neighbor that is already asking for a couple of them once the feather...

    White Rock / Jersey Giant Breed

    I had an opportunity to purchase a few chicks that are said to be a White Rock and Jersey Giant mix. Has anyone seen or heard of this? I know there is a White Jersey Giant, but I am curious just what I may be in store for with this blend. The chicks look to be about two weeks old so there is...

    how can you tell if chickens are moulting? **PICS ADDED**

    I have seen them take a dust bath a few times. They actually have a pretty good crater going for them to roll in. I did notice today that one of the two hens that had not laid yet actually produced an egg before I left for church this morning. I will go by and pick up a bag of the sunflower...
