    July 1, 2011 So it is my second day being a chicken owner! They survived the night with their rabbit hutch. I woke up extra early to let them out and they were still sleeping!! Haha, today I hand fed them, which I was very afraid to do because I don't want to be bitten but it was fun. I guess I...

    Dark Chicken Stories

    Over here, they tie the chickens foot to a tree or pole and chop the head off and the chicken will run and run and run! Without its head, all the blood would be shooting out like crazy. And eventually the chicken will give up and die. I have only seen it once and it turned me vegetarian. Haha:lol:

    Tsunami alarm

    So once a month, the tsunami alarm goes off as a practice. Today was the first time my babies heard it. Along with the dogs, they freaked out and ran under my chair. Even the chicks that hate me came and squeezed against my feet. The alarm is loud and you will hear every dog in the neighborhood...

    How can you tell a silkies gender at 1 month or less?

    Can't you figure out their gender by venting? And if they were Cochin/silkie, would it be easier to tell?

    How can you tell a silkies gender at 1 month or less?

    We are going to a local breeder soon to get silkies. We only want girls and the lady said they were around 2weeks to 1 month in age. Just to make sure we are getting girls, I want to know how to determined that. They are $10 a chick so I dont want to waste my money. We plan on getting 4.

    Easy but strong coops for a non-carp exp family??

    Quote: You could build a simple 3 sided lean to. You wouldn't have to enclose it. But if you really want walls, just put up 3 walls, and a roof and you're done! That way the birds have some place to get under for rain storms. You can even put up a tarp or extend your roof further out over...

    Easy but strong coops for a non-carp exp family??
