    Mini-Farmette When I was a kid we lived on and acre and a half in south Kansas City that a family friend called the mini-farmette. We had a Shetland Pony, several dogs, cats and my pets, the chickens. Until I was about 13, I had laying hens that were my personal pets, and I loved them! My very...

    Fox, coyote or chupacabra?

    Before we had a dog, we had many coons and a pair of gray foxes that frequented our backyard in the early evening, so we saw a lot of them. I vote gray fox.

    Looking for reliable hatcheries in midwest?

    You have likely already solved your dilemma but just wanted to chime in that Cacklle Hatchery in Lebanon, Missouri is first class-- good prices, good chick quality, great selection, honest about their Easter Eggers being EEs not Ameracaunas!, better than average pullet sexing and very friendly...

    ~Chicks arrived!~

    You'll have a cool rainbow chicken flock--my fav kind. My chicks from Cackle Hatchery came in a box that size as well and I was surpised as well (mine had sisal bedding). Your first couple pictures are what we refer to as "Chick Heaven." My 5 year old placed our inhe brooder and then said...

    What breed is this 1 1/2 week old yellow mystery chick from Cackle

    I have two litle yellow mystery chicks that arrived from Cackle a week and a half ago. Upon arrival they were slightly paler han the Buff Orp hicks. The are just a bit smaller than the Ameracauna/Easter Eggers and the Barred Rocks. I thought they might be Leghorns but the feathers coming in are...

    Is it just me or is this Black Maran trio for $75 really Australorps?

    Quote: Yeah, it was the irridesence (sp?) on those feathers that said Australorp to me.

    My favorite Bantam hen - what is she?

    Oh no! So sad. She was cute as a button. Good luck finding more like her with the sane great peronailty. Each chicken adds their unique character to the flock, don't they? Those sweet little broodys are so nice. I just lost my bossy top hen (and some of her friends) and the flock is TOTALLY...

    Is it just me or is this Black Maran trio for $75 really Australorps?

    On my bi-weekly stroll through Craigslist's Farm and Garden section for my area I saw this ad for a trio of "Black Marans" for 75 big ones in warrensburg MO. Now, I have no interest in these birds personally but I read every chicken ad I see, and I had to do a double take on these photos...

    litter box training rabbits?

    My vet suggested feeding the fresh veggies IN the litter pan since they poop when they eat. Hasn't helped my 9 mo old rescue b/c he won't eat veggies:ep I know, what's wrong with him?? The rescued lop next to him eat 2 cups of greens a day and he just turns up his nose and goes over to the...

    Is this gorgeous 8 week old EE pullet really a dude?

    Ok I'm going to look this evening for the saddle feathers-- that is the term I couldn't rememeber in my original post. I will report back and let you know one way or another as s/he ages and let you know. I am on 18 acres and we actually LIKE roosters and would like to have one, but have not...
