Hello! I am going to hopefully hatch eggs here very soon for the first time. I am going to try the golf ball trick to see if I have a broody hen and then put a few eggs under her. It is guaranteed that they are fertile seeing as how I have 4 roosters right now. I just have to get a broody hen...

I'm 18. I got my flock in June. I have 28

Hi, I managed to find this silkie thread and I just got two 4 month old silkies to add to my flock, giving me a total of 28 chickens total. The lady who sold me my two silkie girls mentioned that "I'm sorry they are a bit messy... They were in the milk and love it." I don't know EVERYTHING about...

Everybody got their wings clipped today and I cleaned out the coop. They weren't happy about getting their wings clipped but I spoiled them with sunflowers and watermelon.

Eggy is my naked neck This is Ducky my black frizzle cochin rooster

Thank you :)

So as I watch my boys and girls grow I see little changes that surprise me. It looks like Frizzle, one of my brown frizzle cochins is turning out to be a rooster. If anyone is interested please let me know.

The pictures are on the first page. The last set of pictures I put up

Does anyone want an Americana rooster? We have two and need to sell them. $10 each. They are not aggresive at all but I really want to keep ducky so these two will have to go.

This morning I went out to let everyone out of the coop for the day and got pelted in the face by a flying chicken that was way to anxious to get outside.... One of the roosters of course. Eggy reminds me of a T-Rex when she runs its so funny.

Honestly I'm not quite sure. I just started calling him that when he was a chick and I guess it just kind of stuck.

Thank you! She got hurt pretty bad a couple weeks ago but she is doing amazing and is getting bigger each day. The others do like to pick on her neck though. Poor girl.
