    Have you ever had a nice rooster?

    We've had several different breeds, but hands down the best temperaments were our BLRW. We'd get one every now and then that felt he had to assert his masculinity, so he went to freezer camp. But by and large, the Wyandotte boys are easy to get along with and aren't hard on the hens. Several...

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    i have several young self blues, but all are too young to ship right now. They were hatched May 20 and 30, and I have several in the incubator still. Let me know if you are interested and Ill get some pix together. Next hatch of self blues is June 28. A couple are frizzled.

    Self-Blue Cochin Bantams

    There were a couple of surprises from our SB pen last spring: Here is little frizzle girl, unfortunately with stringy feathers, but full of personality. She is showing some mottling around her head. Then, up popped this columbian patterned SB cockerel (and two black columbian boys) out of a...

    Michigan Chickenstock 2014 - attendance

    Hi Wynette! Don't know if I've put us down for this year's bash, but count Chickendad and Mrs. Chickendad in. Haven't missed one yet, so I don't want to start now! We will be bringing barred rock (exhibition) chicklets, and probably some blrw chicks as well. Haven't decided on a dish to pass...

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    Barbara at the Honeymoon Hotel After all the hoo ha about getting Barbara’s adventures back online, Mrs. Chickendad is mortified to learn that it has been over two months since she promised to bring things up to date. Good intentions not withstanding, there are several stories to report and...

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    Sneaky Girl The Ameraucana girl who fell in love with Leroy last summer is apparently not too discriminating when it comes to dating. She dated Leroy. She dated the little white cochin, Kenny. She dated the self blue cochin brothers when she could lure them away from their fatherly duties...

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    On the off chance that anyone is following this thread still, I guess I should post an update. Mrs. Chickendad has just come up for air after a miserable autumn and early winter. At first it was rheumatoid arthritis keeping me down and unable to walk for any distance. I was even unable to enter...

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    Challenges! I guess it is feast or famine with Barbara stories. This is not exactly a "Barbara" story, but it involves a Barbara friend, so I will relate it as it just happened today. Mrs. Chickendad went to the Fowl Fest Poultry Show in Alma, Michigan today. She did not take any birds, as...

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    The Silly Season It was an especially long mud season at the Chickendad’s, but Spring seems to have finally come to Michigan. Not only have the flowers started leaping out of the ground (the bleeding hearts which were sleeping underground last week are now blooming!) but the chickens seem to...

    put a piece of 2x6 under it to raise it. Don't raise any higher than the chicks' backs. Keep it pretty full and it won't tip too easily.

    The Chickendad Chronicles

    Barbara’s Big Bang Theory The Chickendads have split up the large fowl pens into a BLRW pen with Davey and his eight ladies, and a Rock pen, consisting of Barbara and her husband Carl (RIR), Carl’s brother and 3 RIR ladies. One day last week, Mrs. Chickendad went out to do chores and found one...
