    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    We LOVE our babies - but we aren't shy about them. We handle them, feed them by hand, cuddle them, hold them, sit in the grass with them when it's warm enough and sunny enough, let them feel the grass and sun. We'd never leave them unattended outside or anything, and they do spend a lot of their...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    We just got our first pair of cochins three weeks ago - a buff and a blue. They came home when they were a day old, and now they're gigantic and getting big-girl feathers. I am ASTOUNDED by the fact that they seem to grow overnight. We raised a polish and a maran this spring from hatchlings, and...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    Ahhh!!! We couldn't resist. We picked up two babehs today - a blue cochin and a buff cochin. We weren't even sold on the buff, over other colors, but she was so incredibly sweet and curious and came hopping right over to sit in our hands. Her personality won us over! Tomorrow I will take the...

    Help! We have a VERY sick hen - could it be Marek's???

    We scrubbed out the coop thoroughly, changed all the hay and shavings (which we do very regularly anyway), scrubbed some more, and now will be keeping an eye on the other girls for signs of lethargy or anything "off" in their behavior, just in case.

    Help! We have a VERY sick hen - could it be Marek's???

    We got our flock fully intending to eat some, keep some (all based on personality, really). We'd been on the fence about our little JK - she was an endearing chicken who was arguably the dumbest in the flock, who beeped like a duck or a squeaky toy. She was not hand raised and only in the last...

    She just passed away.

    Help! We have a VERY sick hen - could it be Marek's???

    She's taken a serious turn for the worse. She tried eating and drinking just an hour or two ago but has since gone catatonic and has started stargazing. Once or twice she's squawked and fluffed up but hasn't opened her eyes at all in the last hour or so. It looks grim.

    Help! We have a VERY sick hen - could it be Marek's???

    Oh. She's less than a year old - she's about 9 months old, and lays a few times a week when she's feeling like herself. Little adorable eggs.

    Help! We have a VERY sick hen - could it be Marek's???

    Yesterday I said to my other half that our tiny little bantam, an ameraucana, looked "sad." He thought I was nuts and wondered how a chicken could look sad. This morning I found her laying on the back patio, in the drizzle, looking miserable. She's usually a shy bird, and that we were able...

    Barred Rocks!!

    I actually haven't put her on a scale - she's a solid five pounds easily though! She's a mammoth bird - biggest we have.

    Polish thread!

    We got our Polish baby when she was just about two weeks old - she's been growing up with another chick, a maran. They're now about 9 weeks old and incredibly wonderful chicks, who are finally in the yard with the big girls, who come running to see us and follow us around the yard. It has been...
