    How do you name a chicken?

    I have one hen I named based off the color egg she produces (name: Bluebell) 3 hens of the same breed, but different colors are named after the "Powerpuff Girls" (Buttercup, Blossom & Bubbles) My 2 Marans are named after something I like - based off their colors (gems; Opal & Onyx) The rest are...

    They're definitely one of my favorites 😍 I had one pair that bred and it was the coolest thing! - I also accidentally raised a trout with them 😂

    Sassy doggos only💅🏻 🚫no good boys allowed🚫

    This is Reina, she has ZERO concept of "personal space" and thinks all of the kids toys are also her toys - and acts accordingly. The wire for the solar panel to my chickens' coop door was also victimized in rebuttal to not letting her in their run with me (when they were first put in). [Bonus...

    Thank you! (I married into the "ranch life", this place was started by his mom(: & to think, when we were teens I didnt think Id be a part of any of it!) My husband was the real culprit there - I think he just got jealous that his horse likes me more, socially 😂 I miss having fish!! Cichlids...

    More! We're slowly changing things here and there - we cut down our cattle herd almost by half, got a new horse (my very first!), and are currently making plans to build a new pig enclosure for up to ~6.

    Your 2026 Garden

    Funny story actually... my husband bought me a big 'bucket' of flowers, but I... kinda forgot about them sitting in the dining room 🫣By the time I remembered to water them they were pretty much done, but there were sprouts!!! So I made sure to be very diligent in their care since, well, I...

    French Copper Marans 🤎

    I only have 2 Marans; Blue Splash & Black Copper. My BSM is by far the friendliest hen in my flock 🥰 I can't wait for their eggs!!

    Don't apologize, that's a good question! I am still pretty new myself. I have only raised one "set" of chicks thus far & they're almost laying-age. These poults are BRAND new for me, so I'm kinda in the same boat. I did suspect wry neck/vitamin deficiency [thus, the GroGel] but I'm puzzled why...

    Hi, I'm a new member

    Welcome to BYC! I think I may have to agree with Chookwagn...incubating your own eggs to hatch & raise may just be the best option. The good news about that is you get to do this on your own timeline - and you probably couldn't have picked a better place to learn everything there is to know...

    Fowl Mouth Flock

    Oof. Needing a second cup of coffee this morning - I was up all night with "Poult #3". I did my last check-in on the bitties for the night last night (was cleaning up construction mess prior to this & everyone was 100% normal) and found the poor little one laying splayed on its side. I thought...

    German Shepherd Thread!

    We have family dinners with my dad & siblings every other Sunday. My brother & I alternate hosting and today was my turn. All the kids wanted to play 'hide-&-seek tag' so I told them to "Get out, hide & don't let me catch you!" Bruno looked at me for a minute then came & snuck behind the curtain...
