    Ended Tell Us Your Funniest Chicken Story to Win Six Bags of Feed from Nutrena!

    We have a little calico cochin named Betsy, and she has decided to share in the pecking order to include our 8lbs fox terrier mix Sherman. It is so funny to watch her fluff and huff up at Sherman, while chasing him around in circles. Sherman just looks at her like "what the heck"! If our...

    Fat Mom wants Surgery

    Well, we did it...

    Funny you should mention that. One of them hopped out while I was covering the ladder hole and got behind the coop tonight. I have some deer netting. May have to rig up something.

    Well, we did it...

    The keets went out into their new coop Sunday afternoon. Had to close off the ramp into the bottom section as one of the little ones ended up down there after dark and couldn't seem to find its way back up. I put a 40W light bulb in a shop light, wrapped in chicken wire, in one end of the coop...
