    WET WEATHER is here in Washington

    Well, my girls are all grown up now, laying like champs and after all the rain this week they look like drowned birds. Although I have provided them with plenty of cover to get out of the rain, they don't seem to have enough sense to do it. Their coop isn't heated and I guess my biggest worry...

    Personal opinions on favourite breed and why, please comment so I can have a idea of which is best

    I'm also fairly new to chickens my girls and guys are about 10 weeks old. I got a few of several breeds for different traits. Can't give any laying feedback, but for personality, in my flock, the Barred Rocks, both hens and rooster are the friendliest. Always come running to me to be picked...

    To Insulate? Or Not to Insulate? THAT is the question! :-)

    As you can see - much well meaning advice. What I have gleaned from this wonderful site is that many people do things in unique individual ways that works for their flock, climate and Mostly I love the varied ideas that give volumes of food for thought and consideration. From what I've read...

    Yet another Free Range Question

    It's been interesting to watch my DH come around to this whole chicken thing. He'd never admit that he likes having them around, but in spite of himself he has been coming up with some great ideas for their care. And your suggestion is exactly what we're going to do. Sometimes the best idea...

    Yet another Free Range Question

    I love my girls. They are now about 9 weeks old. I have an enclosed yard for them 20 x 30 with a 7x7 coop in it. I have 18 chickens and 3 ducks. As they have been small, it seemed like plenty of room. Well as time goes by they keep getting bigger and bigger. I look at their area and am...

    My unknown free feed store chicks identified.

    I've been trying to find out what these little darlings are and went to the Farwest Hatchery and Cackle Hatchery sites and there were exact pictures of my girls down to their blue legs. They are called Austra White Chickens. A cross between a Black Australorp Rooster and a White Leghorn Hen...

    They are just growing sooooooooooo fast

    I love my three girls. They are 6 weeks old and huge!!! They don't like to be picked up but are very comical to watch and get along fine with the chickens. I tried a bigger kiddie pool and they wouldn't go near it.
