    The Brooder

    The Brooder Well hot diggity-dog! With 35 chicks hatched and many more hatching every day, I decided to make them a new 2 x 4 feet brooder that could accomodate the cozy lamp brooder (21" x 21") I have. This is probably the third brooder I've built and by far the largest. I built it...

    The Runs

    The Chikken Runs We decided on two runs- one would be for Splash & Lavender, while the other would be for Buff colored chicks. --- Uh- oh WAIT A SECOND. As of May 26th, 2010, we now have added a third run. Ideally, I had planned to keep my husband in that one, but after realizing it lacked...

    D'uccle Thread

    Ronnie hasn't shown the past couple of years because he's been ill. He's on dialysis 3x a week, so I'm not sure how many shows he'll make it to. This one was 20 minutes from the house. He and his son were very pleased to see how many people were buying d'Uccles, even if there weren't a ton of...

    Silkies
