    2+ Sebastopol eggs (fertility checked) 2013

    Awww!! Look at that baby's foot...lol. Now THAT is a foot! So sweet and little and new and innocent, such a joy to experience hatching eggs. I think that's why so many of us (especially women) get more involved and committed to raising chickens/water fowl. Life is so precious and seeing...

    2+ Sebastopol eggs (fertility checked) 2013

    Got my 4 golden eggs yesterday! We're very excited and looking forward to our first goose-hatching adventure...lol. AWESOME packaging for the postal service! I was very pleased and appreciative with your attention and care to preserving the integrity of the eggs during shipping. Thank you...

    Oh! Interested! I sent you a PM earlier. If you have eggs you are looking to get rid of I will certainly take some off of your hands. We just bought over 70 acres with 4 ponds & the first thing I told my husband was that I wanted to get a donkey and some geese....LOL. I was originally...

    Ended Coop Page Contest #2 - Win a $20 BYC Store Gift Certificate!

    WHOOT!! I wanna! I wanna! Is there still time for me to enter? Can anyone give a link to the feeder/waterer and brooder contest threads? I'm definitely ready to submit something for those two. It may take me a little more time to put something together for the coop page, unless a chicken...

    Yes, we've already learned that lesson the hard way. We've spent over a thousand dollars (my hub calls her our milion dollar chicken) on our Rhode Island White (or RIR/Leghorn mix, not sure yet). She had all sorts of infections from the feed store, thankfully I took her to the vet the first day...

    Hey! I'm in SE Texas too!!..........buuuuuut.......my chickens don't look like that...LOL Although I'm only on page 11 of this thread so far, I have to say I can't imagine a worse looking molt than what you just posted. That's, um,.....yeah, that's pretty gnarly. Did you say that you have...

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    Well, killing Mr. D is not an option for us. He is so little, that I wouldn't even think he'd be feasible for the freezer. His behavior is continuing along a steady pace of re-modification, so to speak, over the last few weeks as the dichotomy between him and Big Boy continues to play itself...

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    Oh wow! What breed do you consider Greta? She's a bit more "rotund" than Fancy & Nancy, and looks waaaaay more docile and laid back than my schiztoid two...lol. Well, actually I have considered Bald Booty Broody to be possibly molting, but she has looked pretty much the same way since early...

    Ha ha haaa haaa....that's awesome, "Dum Dum want yum yum"...lolol. Is that Walter in your avatar picture? I love that name and he is a very handsome fella! I love the greenish feathers on the RIR, I just think they look so regal. Silly, I know, because we're talking about a chicken here, but...

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    Yes, we are most definitely keeping a sharp eye on the little turd. We already decided after the first incident that if he ever tried that nonsense with one of the girls again, he was going straight back to the feed store. Right now, things seem to be pretty orderly in Backyard Chicken World...

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    lol, well, sorry about that! No Dick soup on the menu anytime soon, ha ha haaa! We are still in "pet" mode with our chickens, even though we do have "organic meat source" aspirations for sometime in the future. I've already informed my husband that it can't be one with a name :o(

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    Well, considering Mr. D is about the size of a canteloupe, he really can't do much damage. Plus, his feet are covered in fluffy feathers. He still thinks he's a badass though. The last few days he's pretty much just stomped around with his neck feathers perpetually ruffled, with a look on his...

    My Introduction Thread--Our "Buzzard" had some "Chipmunks"....?

    Hello. I've been lurking around BYC since this past June, when we got our very first chickens. Ever. We got 5 hens and 2 roosters from the feed store. One of the roosters was fully grown, who I have come to decide is a Red Cochin Bantam (I'm fairly certain, but I'm also certainly no expert...
