    Frizzles or Frazzles

    I promise s/he wasn’t injured in our attempt to get a muppet-chicken photo...only reclined for a moment, and not upset about it at all. Thank you for the advice, we surely wouldn’t want to cause any respiratory problems!

    Frizzles or Frazzles

    They look so un-chicken-like, it always makes me laugh. This little chook was lounging with us on the couch the other evening

    Frizzles or Frazzles

    Thanks! That was my biggest fear in not really getting any info from the breeder. My fingers are crossed that they didn’t breed their frizzles to frizzles. The fact that one of our little ones is smooth feathered gives me hope that the rest are all single parent frizzle kids. ...now to wait...

    Frizzles or Frazzles

    Woo hoo! Thanks for the input. I’m excited to see that the general consensus is healthy frizzle! We absolutely adore them (they’re too cute not to fall in love with), and it’s going to be hard enough getting rid of the roos (when they start crowing). As for toes, all but one have 5 toes, and...

    Frizzles or Frazzles

    So, we purchased some quasi-mystery eggs at a chicken swap that were labeled “frizzles/sizzles.” 5 of our babies hatched. 4/5 are obviously frizzles, but they are very curly, which has me worried that they might be frazzles. They’re all black skinned, so I know they’ve all got at least a bit...

    Nevadans?

    It's been FOREVER, but I am ready to rejoin y'all! I had given my flock to a girlfriend last summer when work got a bit overwhelming, but things have changed for the better and now I'm on the (much happier) path to good old suburban homesteading (also considering homeschooling ...but that's...

    Nevadans?

    Sunny, yep-the three chicks we got from you were Ameraucana's...we just picked them up from you last year on Easter morning, lol. As for finding Banties, I sent Genny a PM a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back from her. Soooo, I bought three CornishX chicks to give my momma bird a baby fix...

    Nevadans?

    Hi everyone, I haven't been on this site in forever, but I figured I'd pop in to see if anyone had any bantam hatching eggs. My little Cochin/RIR cross I got from Genny is broody, and she makes the sweetest mama hen...I'd love to give her a couple of babies. Thanks in advance for any...

    Noisiest Chickens EVER!

    Glad to know I'm not alone! Thanks for the sympathies. I think that our chooks are a bit too smart for their own good. They know just how to get what they want! Holy City Hens...my noisiest girl is a Buff Orp, I think so much of it is individual personality. I'd be hesitant to try and trade...

    Noisiest Chickens EVER!

    I swear that my hens must be competing with one another for the title of most obnoxious chicken. Every morning, between 5:30 and 6:00 am (while still locked safely in their nice, dark coop) the bastards start bokking...not because they've laid an egg, but because they want to be annoying. So...

    Sunny- Sign me up for four chicks please . I'd love two of each if the BCM eggs turn out to be fertile (if not, four ameraucanas would be lovely)! Let me know when they hatch on the 23rd and I'll be happy to run out and pick them up from you. Yay! Genny-I need to take a new picture of your...

    Nevadans?

    Is anyone expecting a hatch in the week or so before Easter? We'd like a couple more chooks and I'm thinking that they would make a beyond adorable addition to my kiddos Easter baskets! Thanks, Stacy

    9 1/2 week old Orp mixes. Still NO clue on their genders. Wanna help?

    I realize the poor buddy is destined to be dinner....would it be weird for me to offer to pay you to grow him out for us? I'd actually like to buy a couple roos for the dinner table. I'd be totally be up for helping process! I have a feeling that I wouldn't have TOO much of a problem saying...

    SparksNV- I bet you are one proud mama right about now! Congrats to Taylor, and much luck with making the volleyball team! How has middle school been for you guys? I've got a 5th grader that will be heading off to Swope in a year and a half and I'm very nervous for her...it just seems like...

    9 1/2 week old Orp mixes. Still NO clue on their genders. Wanna help?

    Genny, my Niko still LOVES his black chick...I'm thinking that the moniker "Little Niko" is going to stick regardless of chickie gender, lol. It's been very fun to watch her (?) feather out. There is a really pretty greenish tint to all of the black feathers now, which worries me a bit...could...
