    Re-introduction

    I posted it in the "what gender is this" section too but someone asked for a better picture. Here it is. Right before it was taken, a rabbit was over by the chickens. Butterscotch ran after it with wings flapping and chased it off. I have never seen one of the hens do that. Even the older hens...

    Is our "girl" a boy?

    Here's a better picture of "her/him" taken just a few moments ago. There was a rabbit over by the chickens and Butterscotch had just chased the rabbit off. I think this is a much better view too. So...I'm kind of thinking we've definitely got ourselves a rooster.

    Re-introduction

    I did that. It was unanimous that "she" is a "he". I'll try to get "her" looking up tomorrow and see if I can't get a better shot.

    Re-introduction

    Here is Butterscotch. Sorry about the funky angle but "she" doesn't like to look up when we're around. "She" always thinks we've got treats and starts to peck.

    Re-introduction

    I introduced myself so long ago I think it's time to do it again. We have a small property here in Middle TN where we raise a flock of chickens. Along with the chickens we have one crazy dog, a billion birds living in the trees and a thriving garden (doing good this year!) We began with a flock...

    And that's when we begin wearing earplugs to bed. Haha

    Is our "girl" a boy?

    Maybe someone will know this since we have next to no experience with roosters. He hasn't crowed yet. I thought they started young but Butterscotch hasn't made a peep of crowing. Though, he's only a bit over 2 months old.

    Is our "girl" a boy?

    Ohhh boy! Haha. I think that settles it! Fortunately, Butterscotch is my daughter's "pet". While she...he! hangs out with all of the girls, my daughter has taken to him. He's been raised sitting in laps, being held in hands and running around the yard with us close by. We will definitely be...

    Is our "girl" a boy?

    We've got a little Rhode Island Red as part of our flock. When we got her in March, she was a little puffball cheeper and now she's become a lovely....chicken! The older she's getting, the more we're wondering if she is a "he". She's much bigger than her sisters and also seems to be at the top...

    Drooping wing?

    One of our girls has a drooping wing. Just a drooping wing. Her feathers are fine. Comb looks good. Droppings look good. She's alert, eating, drinking and making plenty of noise. She was especially noisy when I came to refill the water. I guess they didn't want me to give them fresh water...

    Oh shoot. Snakes!

    Our coop and run is built near a bunch of pine trees. Except on my property, you can't get away from bunches of pine trees dividing up the property. Of course, this means we have taken care of quite a few snakes hanging around the pine needle beds. We don't kill the non poisonous snakes, but the...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    Haha! We named them that because we thought it was funny. Though there is some truth to it too. These pullets are for egg production, though. We may expand into the other later on.

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    I'll jump in. Here's my six when they were 2 1/2 weeks old. Only five are shown in the photo. We have a shy one. They are Bacon, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Elevensies and Lady Waddlesworth Von Chicken Butt. Don't ask. The kids named her! We will call her "Lady" for short.

    Here goes nothing!

    Fortunately, I do have one Grandparent still with us who has good advice. They had a very large farm at one point. Five hundred and some acres with a whole slew of livestock. As she said once "We never had heat lamps and all this stuff and our animals were all healthy and happy. You'll be fine."
