    Baby Easter Eggers appreciation thread!

    I did separate them as soon as I knew what was going on. I have a free-range flock right now and would like to keep allowing the mother hens to raise their own chicks if it's safe to. Most of the flock treats the babies with respect and kindness from day one. I even have two hens that like to...

    Baby Easter Eggers appreciation thread!

    Aww they're adorable! I have (well, had, a Latte - I'm suspecting my SS hen who seems to hate chicks with a passion is the cause of him/her going missing).

    Baby Easter Eggers appreciation thread!

    So... I don't have any Easter Eggers yet, but I'm getting there. I have white egg layers and dark to light brown egg layers. I just need to get some beautiful blue and green egg layers so that I can have some EE chicks in my flock next spring! Anyway, all of these chicks are mixes, and...

    How can I sell chicken meat/eggs legally in Idaho?

Not looking to run a business just sell or trade here and there. But I'm not sure what the legal aspects of...

    Tales on Twinflower Acres

    Whew! I'm almost done introducing my flock! If I had known it would take this long, I would have started right in with pics/stories/more fun posts than introductions. But I was thinking it would be easier to share stories if there was somewhere for people to go to see what chickens I'm talking...

    Show me your Speckeled sussex's

    This is my 17 week old SS hen. She's absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately I'm having to give her away because she attacks my chicks. Hoping to trade her for another hen of a select few breeds. Something unique I noticed about her is that she has one white feather on each wing. You can see...

    Anyone Breeding Icelandics?

    I'm wondering, is anyone breeding Icelandic chickens in Northern Idaho? I have one purebred Icelandic hen and I might want to get a few more in the future. Anyway, just curious to see if there are any local breeders out there for this amazing rare breed!
