    Gideon's a proud new papa!!!

    Well, to all you Gideon fans, followers and lovers, I thought he deserved a new updated post - he is no longer just looking for a girlfriend - he has 7 wives, and 3 new babies! Gideon is a most handsome rooster - it is unbelievable how much he has filled out and all the beautiful brown patches...

    Gideon's Got a Girlfriend! Gideon's Got a Girlfriend! She Isn't Pleased!

    I cannot believe it! Not only did we find babies under Mama Lena this morning - they were already all dry and fluffy and adorable!!! The oldest three eggs she acquired were from the Easter Egger, the Polish, and the Buff Orpington, and those are (I am pretty sure) the shells that were left...

    Gideon's Got a Girlfriend! Gideon's Got a Girlfriend! She Isn't Pleased!

    Oh, no Speckledhen - this is definitely NOT the end of the Gideon thread! We have big, BIG news...... Gideon's gonna be a daddy!!! Lena (the golden laced Wyondotte) went broody back earlier in December. I took her eggs from her for a few days, but she seemed determined, so on December 13...

    Anyone make home made eggnog?

    Guys, eggnog does not necessarily mean raw eggs! You can cook / pasteurize your homemade eggnog to kill off any possible salmonella (or whatever else) and feel good about it, and it does not affect the flavor! Now, I have read that clean, home-grown, healthy eggs like we all here on BYC have...

    Inbreeding Chickens?

    Wow, that really surprises me. I thought RIR roos were the most gentle of all roos! I guess it's just an individual thing. My roo Gideon who I got from a byc member here, is the sweetest guy in the whole world (and very handsome too). He's half & half Delaware & EE. But I guess I'm changing...

    Looking to find a home for my 2 month old chick

    You say you "believe he is a boy" - do you know for sure if he is a boy or a girl? If "he" is a girl, I can/will take "him" - I'm near Greenville, SC. (and I guarantee you, she would have a wonderful home - we have the most spoiled happy chickens in all of South Carolina without a doubt!!!)...

    Chicken ordinances in St. Louis Missouri?

    I don't live in St. Louis anymore, but know the area pretty well, as I grew up in Illinois just outside of St.Louis, and lived in various parts of St. Louis County for a lot of years. It is a great place (except in the winter) - you must try Imo's. As everyone has more or less said so far -...

    which herbs will chickens eat?

    Forget the herbs entirely - just plant some lettuce!!! We cannot keep the girls and/or the "Man" Gideon out of the lettuce!!! They walk right past beautiful dill, lemon balm, parsely, tarragon, rosemary, mint, and I even put some of the last of the basil in their run (basil can't take even the...
