    wanting to "specialize' in a certain bird? Questions!

    We have Wyandottes... love them!!! We got all the colors this past spring for the kids to raise for 4-H and I have to say that my favorites were the Columbian and the Blue Laced Red. The Blue Laced Red is not a recognized color so if you are looking to show birds or sell them for show, I would...

    This may be a stupid question, but....

    Thank you... We have introduced new chickens into the flock before and have always kept them separate in the beginning. The 4-H kids that are in the poultry project have a schedule that they follow and the coop gets cleaned daily and the chickens get fresh food and water daily. Cleanliness and...

    Having trouble with sand....

    We have sand in our coop and I put a tray under the waterers... like the one that would be in the bottom of a dog crate. That has helped a great deal and we can lift it out and clean it off whenever we need to.

    She's about 6-8 months old.. they didn't know what breed she was. I don't have a picture right now but I can get one by tomorrow. She's white, which I know doesn't say a lot. Sweetest bird ever!!!

    This may be a stupid question, but....

    I have been a member of the website for a while now but don't get to come online as much as I would like. I got involved in raising chickens because of my daughter and the 4-H program that she, and now I, belong to. We have successfully raised chickens for almost 2 years now, knock on wood, with...

    4-h?

    Quote: I know what you mean! I was just the secretary for the club last year and now I'm doing poultry and clover buds. I'm also a girl scout leader for 2 troops. I don't know if it's just me not being able to say no or the tattoo on my forehead that says 'sucker'.

    New foods and fun with the girls

    Our birds love spaghetti and rice. They love lettuce and cooked carrots too! My daughter tried to give them cucumber the other day but they didn't like that too much. My boys are always finding bugs or worms and throwing them in the coop to watch the birds chase them. It's so funny to them! We...

    New Chicks

    I live fairly close to my PO, about a 5-10 minute drive. I didn't bring anything with me to the post office to keep them warm or anything, but I did have everything ready before I left. I had my lamp on so the cage would be warm, food and water ready to go. What I did was filled a gallon jug of...

    Our First Batch of "Babies"

    We put our birds in large animal cages, like you would use for guinea pigs or rabbits. As they got older we used large dog crates until we decided that we were going to keep them and built our coop. We had lamps on them in the animal cages but weaned them off the lamp by the time we put them in...
