    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Ksane, if no one else steps up and wants him he is yours. I'd keep him but it just isn't working out and my main roo is really good at watching out for the girls. Thanks to everyone for the information. Shawn

    Cool! Thank you. Now I just need to find him a home. Anyone need another resident? SDS

    KK, I'd offer my own guess but that's all it would be, a guess. He is a really cool bird but I hate to see him getting picked on. When I let them out to free range he runs off by himself or maybe with one other hen but for the most part stays away from the rest of the birds. SDS

    And one more question, any idea what kind of rooster this might be? I really like him and wish I could keep him but my kids really want to keep our old roo and he has been a good protector so I won't fire him quite yet. This guy has an extra toe on each foot, feathered legs and cheek feathers...

    Does this bird look like a rooster? I just can't tell. It's about 6 months old and is larger than the other birds that were hatched at the same time. It has longer tail feathers but the comb is small. There are nubs where the spurs would be but I just can't tell. Looking at the body and...

    Update on the two chicks that I thought I had crippled by my failure to pay attention. They seem to be almost completely healed! One of them is even roosting and the other one barely has any limp at all. I am feeling a LOT better now. I felt like a complete idiot for injuring them. I am...

    Thanks for the advice. Mom and chicks have been moved back inside for now. I'm hoping they heal up fine. Man I feel like a stooge. SDS

    Well I have gone and done something stupid and now I need advice. Short background, I have a buff orpington who hatched out 6 chicks about 3 weeks ago. Up until four days ago I was keeping them in the garage in a large brooder pen of sorts. Approx. 5' X 5' with a warming lamp on one side...

    If I leave her in the coop will the other birds bother them? When the weather turns bad they all stay inside and I don't want a fight because of the chicks.

    Okay, I have a question and I know I'm behind the curve here. I have a hen sitting on eggs that should hatch on Thursday. Just in time for the miserable weather. I keep my birds in a coop with a large attached run and now have a portable chicken tractor that I had intended to keep the new mom...

    If she isn't "broke" by Monday I may have to try that. I'm not real crazy about adding young birds right now but I may not have much of a choice if she won't give up. My wife won't be very happy at the prospect of MORE birds though. I'm not anywhere near the numbers of birds that most of you...

    I have a hen, buff orpington, who went broody about 3 weeks ago. I've tried moving her every time I go outside and it hasn't done any good at all. I had a little free time today so I made up a cage to keep her in for a few days until I can get her broken from being broody. The...

    I figured it was just me. I have 8 layers and I've been getting one or maybe two eggs a day for the past week. I'm sure open to any suggestions to increase that egg count. SDS

    Artsyrobin, I only got one and she looks nearly identical to your picture. She does have 5 toes as well. I will try to get some pictures of her tomorrow. On another note, I went out last night after all of the birds had gone to roost to make sure everyone was doing okay and getting along...

    Artsrobyn, what type of bird is this one?? I just picked up some new birds and one of them looks nearly identical to yours. I was just wanting some variety and ended up getting one like this and another one that looks like this minus the feathers on her legs. I also got a silver lace...

    Nanakat, that notice of title transfer is WELL worth the $10 or so it costs and has saved a lot of people a lot of hassle. Some people never cease to amaze me with their acts of stupidity. Trying to file a claim with your insurance company is comical. SDS

    Sorry to hear about the rough times that folks are having. Hope all works out for everyone. Kass, I don't know you but you certainly have my condolences. Not sure who is stealing the hours from my day but I'd sure like them back. It seems like there is never enough time to get everything...

    Jcatblum, been looking at that site for awhile now. Lots of good information there and I think that may be just what I was looking for. Thanks for the link. Erinszoo, that's a good point on the length issue. I hadn't considered that. The only reason I chose that length was because my...
