    Enclosure size?

    The structure outside where the Faverolle is, that's the "Poultry Playpen".... so newbies can be seen and interacted with, but safely behind bars. It's actually my compost bin, I have a door into it. Once it's not being used as a playpen, I leave the door to it open, so they can scratch around...

    Enclosure size?

    Okay, I know the whole adage of 4 foot per chicken in the coop, 10 foot if there is no run. However, I have neither, technically speaking. I have an open enclosure. It's 8x8, with a U-shaped PVC feeder along one wall (so it doesn't take up much space), a 15-gallon waterer in the corner (about...

    12+ BLue Laced Red Wyandotte Hatching Eggs NPIP ~ LF

    I think come spring I might be ordering a few eggs from you. Probably not 24 (hooooly cow), but a few. I have a silver-laced Wyandotte and I love her size, her coloring, and her egg-laying, so i think she is what I'm really gonna stick with for a 'producing' hen. I still have my Polish, of...

    Tolbunt Polish

    Oh yeah, I'm in no hurry. I want to find two GOOD ones to start with, not the first two I can get my grubby hands on. *snicker* As tempting as it would be.

    Tolbunt Polish

    I too am hoping come spring to start breeding tolbunt polish. I'm thinking, for now, a REALLY small operation - just a quality pair to start with, see what they give me. Question though, I have a friend with a WCB roo - she says he barely makes a peep. As my experience with Polish has only...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Oh, I know. The big coop in the back yard has four hennies in it. However, Waffles has issues with playing nice with... well... anybody. Bigger hen, older hen, smaller hen, younger hen, doesn't matter. She goes after them, pins them, and just starts pecking. So... this way I can make...

    My ultra-tiny tractor. Just one hennie in here. We have a TINY front yard, and it's all WEEDS, so we're letting her rip the crap out of one section at a time, moving her, then seeding behind her. Clucker Landscaping! (1-800-BUK-BAWK) Waffles On Duty. The lamps on top do light. She's...

    Tolbunt Polish Chicks - what's a fair price?

    Ugh, anyone in PA or upper MD with Tolbunts? I think I'd give my left kidney for a few.... oi.

    (I have the bounce anyway, grrrrr. Darn work. See ya around) We have places to be! Bren blinked. "Ah heck, I'll be back around!" And... bolt. Really, she didn't smell. It was just bad time management.

    There was a hard nip in the back of his knee and Bren's hand snapped out. "Uh, nicetomeetyou!" Knock it off, Celia!

    Small comfort, the fox quipped. You would have smashed the poor thing into the wall in that fit! Brennan shot the fox a look, then cleared his throat again. "Well... I guess we were both at fault. My name's Brennan."

    The fox flinched back from the leopard, shrinking down. She wasn't stupid, she knew a losing fight when she looked at it. And she liked living. Bren looked down at her, moving a foot in front of her just as a spot to hide, and cleared his throat. Deep breath. "No, no...It's... I'm I'm sorry...

    She happened to look just as the fox gave an alarmed yip, grabbing hold of the back of his companion's boot - so the impact was minimal, instead of a full-force collision. Bren snapped out of his daze,standing on tiptoe as he almost overran an innocent bystander, arms out for balance. With the...

    A storm was gathering. Funny thing was, it was indoors. One didn't have to see the wind or smell the rain, hear the thunder or feel the electric kiss of static across the skin, to know it was coming. It was the deep-down alarm that sounded in any living creature as the dark clouds gathered...
