    My Coop 11

    My Coop Project I ordered a coop off of ebay, it was "Le Coop" and I got it with free postage. After weeks of beautiful weather it showed up in the middle of the worst storms we have had all winter. The first sunny day we had I busted it open and set it up. One of the legs was missing and one...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    My first egg today! I am so excited I can barely contain myself. It doesn't show in the lighting (or against the countertop) but the egg is a really pretty light blue/green. The girls earned some extra watermelon today! I think I caught Tigerlily in the act when I went and checked the...

    What are we?

    I picked up these three a little over a month ago from a lady who had to liquidate her newly acquired flock. Inara and Zoe are about 6 weeks old, Kaylee is closer to five. I was told Zoe was a black sex-link, and that Kaylee was a buff Orpington but that does not look right. Any clues as to what...

    Alright, the kids were in a better mood and actually posed for a bit. There may have been bribery involved. Here is a better picture of Amelia- I think she is a Barred Rock and Felicity Thanks so much!

    Neurotic new mom syndrome

    I totally sympathize, the night before I got my babies I was freaking out too. You seem to be well prepared, my only suggestion would be if you are worried about the temperature you can start them inside- give them a week or so indoors and then transition them outdoors. Also, I keep the liter...

    Just got chicks, now I'm worried about the dog.

    I sure hope so, I just had one of the girls out and he sniffed it then relaxed and laid down. He didn't move off his pillow or make any real move. I guess the thing is to just keep working with him. He is really responsive to training so I am hopeful.

    Just got chicks, now I'm worried about the dog.

    Thank you so much for your suggestions Dianaross77, I'm looking for the painter's tape right now. He really is a cowered about most other animals (he's bad experiences with cats and Chihuahuas which made him nervous about small things) so I am hoping to get him to see that chasing the girls is...

    Just got chicks, now I'm worried about the dog.

    They have a dog/coyote/raccoon proof run for when they are older. As it is now, they are in a secure bin and he is never left alone with them. We have been keeping him on his bed and away from the babies but he seems to be very curious about them. I am hoping that the first time he gets pecked...

    Just got chicks, now I'm worried about the dog.

    I got 4 chicks on Sunday and since then the dog has been really fascinated by them. He sits and stairs at them all the time and I am more than a little concerned. So far there has been nothing aggressive, and I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. Does anyone have advice for...
