    The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

    Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I have been on here. Working full time, going to school nearly full time and running the homestead by myself leaves me for not much time for anything else. Anyway, I want to join the hatching frenzy and will be hatching: chickens (astralorp mixes)...

    Polish pullet with droopy wings and leg not working

    Hello all, One of my little girls is having a problem. I noticed about a week ago that one of her wings was droopy. I thought she hurt it...I looked it all over and couldn't find a problem. She seemed fine for a few days occasionally the wing wood droop but often it would be fine. A couple...

    sharing pics of duckies

    I spent a lovely day Monday after the hurricane swept through...cleaning up all the "prep" and spending time with feathered kids and bunnies. I thought I'd share a few pics. Lady Rowena and Sir Ivanhoe...I swear that water was clean like 10 minutes before.... See...here's proof! With the...

    Hurricane Irene

    Quote: Capvin, thank you. Some good points to think about. I grew up in southern Florida (half mile from Biscayne Bay)...I was used to hurricane prep but I was a kid and the house was built to withstand this kind of wind and rain. and we only had 1 cat to keep safe with us. Now I have all...

    Hurricane Irene

    I was replying on the other post on the hurricane (under coops I think). I am in the direct path (Delaware) so I am really worried. I have too many birds to bring in the house and we have no basement (live on a sandbar, would be flooded in no time anyway). My coop/pen system is a 3 sided barn...

    Just put eggs under my broody who's with me? We are back! With Bantams

    Well, I am a little behind you all (or ahead?). I had a situation where 2 broody hens were on the same nest - couldn't figure out where they kept going. (one RIR and one Buff) I finally figured it out 2 weeks ago, they were taking turns sitting on eggs in a far corner of a shed they don't...

    Hurricane Irene!

    *sigh* I am a bit (okay more than a bit) worried about what will happen if Irene hits like they are projecting. She will hit over me Sunday morning it looks like. I am praying otherwise! I have 8 half grown and 2 full grown turkeys, a dozen free range hens, a dozen fancy chickens - some half...

    LTB Orpingtons - eggs or local chicks

    Hello, I am located in Delaware (Delmarva Peninsula - so anyone near here would be great). I am looking for hatching eggs this next week to pick up or be shipped or to pick up chicks. Any of the orpingtons would be great (Buff, Lavender, etc) You can email me at [email protected]...

    multiple egg dates?

    Ah...thanks for the answers...I appreciate it! I will take the advice and remove the eggs and let the one baby be healthy (since I wasn't purposely trying for them anyway).

    Days are getting shorter. When to start light in coop.

    Thanks for this thread. I was just wondering the same thing. I plan to install a new light and timer this weekend and wondered when I should start it up. It is noticeably darker in the morning doing my chores, and thankfully a bit cooler! I live in the Mid-Atlantic so it won't get really cold...

    multiple egg dates?

    Am wondering what my best options are here. My hens (bunch of RIRs, one Astrolorp and one Buff Orpington) free range. They all lay in the open barn where they roost at night. Except that one RIR decided to lay in the shed and was broody. I didn't figure it out for a few days (so who knows how...

    two broody hens, two hatches in the same coop - will that work?

    This is an interesting discussion. I had something similar happen. My hens (RIRs, one Astrolorp and one Buff Orpington) free range. They all lay in the open barn where they roost at night. Except that one RIR decided to lay in the shed and was broody. I didn't figure it out for a few days...

    Share your turkey pics!

    Quote: Chicmom, I have to say I am loving the turkeys too...(other than my pet Polish chickens), they are my favorites to hang out with. I just sit and chill in their pen. LittleRooster, I love the Polish breed too! Here's my favorite little guy: I love the pic of your Polish roo in the...
