    Cochin Frizzle Bantam 9 wk

    Just looking for confirmation on what I know is true but wish was not. I have a 9 wk old Cochin Bantam that I think to be a roo. His comb is much redder then my other birds (is only Cochin I have). I have seen his try to crow so that kinda sealed it for me. I have some one that said they would...

    Packing Peanuts??

    I will just echo what most people have already said. MPC states that they do not add packing peanuts. I got an order from them a few weeks ago and they did not add any in. The use heating pads and ship express. You have to pay more for it but they don't add peanuts for the extra price.

    Had to stop flashing my baby Brahma (Pics : P )

    OK all indecent expose jokes aside I have found that when taking pictures of my 2 Brahmas they do not take well to the flash on the camera. Every other chick in the group of 14 seems to ignore it or at most have a slightly offended reaction to it. Some of the pics are incredibly adorable but I...

    Coop sketch up plans, looking for suggestions (pics)

    Thank you all for the replies. I have changed things around a little on the suggestions. I am 5'11" so I think I have it at a good height. I also made it thinner to keep from waisting money lumber.

    opossum oproblems

    So I went into my cellar today to spray paint something (too windy in Kentucky to do it outside today) and this is what I found behind my door. Now I don't have my chickens yet, they will be showing up in June. I would rather not have this many opossums hanging around when they show up. My...

    domestic cats

    I would not say you can lump all cats into the chicken killer category but it only takes one cats that is able to take one down to bring tragedy to the back yard. You never know what cat is going to wonder into your yard so I would say keep them safe.
