    Docile Roosters

    I have 2 roosters: a porcelaine d'uccle and a Faverolles. Theyre both very handsome boys, but the little d'uccle LOVES to CROW and though a 1/2 pint he's loud. The Faverolles is HUGE but I've only heard him crow about 5 times since they all came to us as chicks mid-April. I was concerned as...

    Winter water?

    I'm in Southeastern MA and my chicks are 6 months now. I love watching people on youtube find ways to problem solve. These are 4 great ideas that I've seen and think are easy enough for us.

    THANK you! All I kept thinking was Barnevelder! No, I wish they were mine. I have totally awsome Faverolles and Ameraucanas though. I found this pic on new UK chick mag called Your Chickens in the Gallery. Gorgeous birds. Thanks again...

    Automatic feeder!

    Realize this is an older thread, but bought it on ebay, set it up over concrete blocks 4 days ago - it's secure. My chicks are 7 weeks old and are wigged out by it whenever I jiggle it for the feed. They eat the feed off the plate. Of course I still have their reg. trough feeder in use. I'm...

    I looked at their 1st week pics today, they were so tiny, it feels like 3 mos. ago - they're like teenagers now! His pal crowed his 1st tonight. My daughter was thrilled! Thanks

    I was looking to post a similar note when I found both of yours. Sorry for your loss of chickens. It's our first time with chickens. They're 5 weeks. I ordered 4 fancy banties with the 11 Faverolles and 10 Ameraucanas to drive up the minimum of 25 from McMurray. I accepted the free exotic...

    Middleboro, MA Chicken Laws & Ordinances?

    Hey Chicken Lovers! Can anyone tell me the ordinances here in Middleboro, MA? I called the town last year and can't find my notes - remember she put me at ease on the idea, just don't have the particulars. Thank you, Mary (My 1st post after skulking for some time)
