    Comment by 'Pete Yo' in article 'How To Incubate & Hatch Chicken Eggs - Just 21 Days From Egg To Chicken!'

    We let a broody hen hatch two eggs this year. It was fun to watch her do the work. She was a good mother, but now she doesn't even hang out with her babies in the yard.

    What breed are my chickens? And are they male or female?

    The two black ones look like cockerels to me. Not sure about the last white one. The first white one is a pullet. They all look like barnyard breeds to me.

    How Many PET Chickens Are In Your Flock?

    I had a frizzle bantam that will yell at me when it was time to go back to the coop. That bird had the best personality! I want to get another, but they are hard to find here.

    How Many PET Chickens Are In Your Flock?

    I have 13. One of my hens ((Small-tux) don't ask about the name) went broody, so we are letting her incubate an egg. She has moved to a birthing room in my garage as the chick should hatch any day now. We can't wait to see if we are successful. If this works we might do it again in a month or...

    Slightly panicked: Starting to build our Coop...just got 13 Chicks!!!

    I'd build the walls, finish the run and put a few things in for them to roost on. You can finish the final details when they are in there. By the way, TSC sells Easter eggers (still great birds) so you can get either green, blue or pink/brown eggs from them. You will like the personality and...

    Comment by 'Pete Yo' in article 'Dust Baths: What they are and why they are important'

    I used my kids old sand box as a bathing area for my chickens. Mixed dirt with sand for them. I kept the top so when it rains or at night I cover it. I gonna have to add some herbs to it.

    Tractor Supply Co. Chicken Coop Reviews Thoughts Feedback - Why and Why Not ?

    I have two TSC for my 14 birds. It is only used to hold their food and for them to lay and sleep in. They free range in a fenced off section (roughly 15x10) and some fly over the gate (only 3 feet tall) and walk my fenced in back yard. To help it last longer I put it on landscaping pavers to...

    How often do you feed your chickens?

    Are you calling my chickens fat? ;}

    How often do you feed your chickens?

    I keep the food in the coops, so no invited guests eat it. Feed scratch in the common area in the morning and they free range in the yard during the day. I have 10 birds and go through roughly 50lbs a month. I think the 4 foot black snake and the feral cats keep the rodent population under...

    If feed stores closed and you can’t free range...

    My only problem would be some of my neighbors stealing my chickens! On the serious side Wal Marts and food stores will NEVER close, so get stuff there. They will not stop our food supply because they know it will bring chaos. I just bought a two month supply of food for all of my animals, so...

    New here

    Maybe put something underneath the brooder to insulate it from the floor. Otherwise something might be wrong with the bulb. Also, welcome to the roost!

    Official BYC Poll: How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?

    My family and I have had the pleasure of raising chickens for roughly 5 years. We still have three of the four birds I first bought. There are ten outside in my coops and four in a brooder in the garage. We enjoy getting different breeds every time, so my flock is very unique and my egg...

    Comment by 'Pete Yo' in item 'Ayam Cemani'

    I have two of these. Sweet birds that share a coop with one of my olive eggers. One had slipped a tendon and now her leg faces the wrong way. She has learned how to move around, but I don't let her out with the other misfits as I know she will be at the bottom of the pecking order. Her two...
