    Thank you :) I couldn't decide if I was gonna laugh or cry so I just hid it all and smiled at him. He sure can melt my heart! I had a feeling you'd be laughing at me LOL! Ok now I have to google that breed too. I'm gonna start taking names in this hatching conversation and when this becomes...

    Hahahaha! Yes I did, you guys could have atleast told me it was contagious LOL!!! I didn't see this until after we went down to the show, my son had a football game this am and we only stopped at home for a quick change before getting on the road. I'll have to google and see what that breed is...

    We haven't had Brahmas but we have a buff and a blue silkie and the blue is and always has been so crazy! Only meaning in a wild way, I started calling her Ninja because it was the only way I could describe how quickly she could jump from one spot to another in the brooder LOL! She's one of my...

    Pacific Northwest Poultry Association double show, Salem, OR Oct 13-14, 2012

    Thank you for the response! I'm not set on finding him a Buttercup, I just want him to find the one that makes him happy. It's been so hard watching him so hurt :( He was so proud to have his own chicken and he was so attached to her! We'll come down and see you all tomorrow and he will be on...

    Pacific Northwest Poultry Association double show, Salem, OR Oct 13-14, 2012

    Was wondering if I could get an idea of some breeds and prices of some of the 7-15ish week olds some of you might have at the show??? My 5 year old lost his Sicilian Buttercup yesterday to a predator and she was his baby! He's so heartbroken and none of our other 11 will do because they aren't...

    So sad, I would have been on my way to your house right now LOL! Happy to hear the internet didn't have the right info on her, I'd love to have another at some point if I can find one as sweet as she was. I got my son off the school bus a few times with his baby on my arm and she always did so...

    We aren't specific on breed, we have a variety. Out of the dozen we had my son and daughter each got to choose one to be their chick, they each put their hand in the brooder at our feed store to find the friendliest chicks. My son had a Sicilian Buttercup (she wasn't going to be a very good...

    Do any of you know a place in the Portland area (willing to drive within reason) that still has chickens available? Preferably in the 8-16 weeks-ish? We found my 5 year olds chick laying out in the field today, she didn't survive whatever got ahold of her and he's so heartbroken :( Any ideas...

    Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures*

    I absolutely am going to be borrowing this idea! Genius! I just have to ask how high are the boxes off the floor? I'm asking in hopes to avoid having to sift through 52 pages of this thread. I'm new to chicken husbandry, but already building my second coop thanks to my lovely wife and the...

    Paint or no paint. That is the question?

    I'm currently building my second coop and am looking for helpful ideas or tips that have worked for others. In my first coop I painted all the walls with a high gloss white paint in hopes that it would make it easier to clean. I'm positive that it was better to paint then not to paint at all...
