    Are people really this ignorant about chicken biology?

    LA~Poulet : You would think that RNs had taken a basic biology course... maybe it didn't stick? I never cease to be amazed at people who have their masters degrees yet can't spell simple words like they're/their/there or you're/your... How do you make it through 8 years of college and not get...

    I picked up a light bhrama pullet yesterday and (more)

    Too cute!! My neighbors inquired why on earth would I want chickens, and my reply is I love birds, have always enjoyed watching them, but parrots freak me out with the damage they can do with their beaks!! So instead I have chickens, who also will give me eggs

    best dirt bath, ever!

    Chicky found my wheelbarow full of compost and she decided this was the prime dirtbath spot. She made a huge mess, but I couldn't get upset about it

    my girls are growing up!

    After 2 nights of being shooed into their run and then forced into their coop, they got the idea. Last night when my dh and boys headed inside, they went into their run on their own, and then when I went to lock them in the coop for the night, they were already in there!! I was so happy, b/c...

    dh is not pleased with me....

    I have been doing lots of research on here and some other sites to figure out how to build our coop and our run for our pullets. I convinced my dh that we needed to bury wire and put a skirt around the run, put locks on all openings, essentially do all we can to make it the fort knox of...

    Quote: what is this thing called "budget"?! I just look the other way when dh comes home from lowes, its always more expensive than I think it should be (for example 300 washers cost $27???)

    Coop and run advice

    Quote: I hear you about the noise, my kids are loud enough and then add on all my neighbors dogs, which happen to bark throughout the night! I converted all my neighbors this past weekend - they were shocked at how quiet they were and how they stayed in the yard, unlike my neighbors dog who...

    The chicken run is finally done, should have started that before the coop, which is still unfinished (wanted to finish the run to put them out during the day). I think the girls like it, they have been spending the days out there and are brought back in at night. After this weekend hopefully...

    playing outside for a few minutes??

    I started taking my girls out when they were about 3 days and 5 days old, it was pretty warm and sunny down here. They did fine, I would sit out there with them and they would stay right near me as if I was their momma. It was pretty easy to catch them and have only recently been a problem to...

    ~7 week BO and BR chicks, pullets??

    Just wondering if these girls are really "girls". I think they are as no one has really overdeveloped combs or waddles. Need some "expert" opinions though! Hopefully this picture will be good enough.

    Infants: Formula vs. Raw Milk

    seriously, if your little one is gaining, just slowly, and is healthy don't worry about supplementing, just keep with the breastfeeding. I had 2 huge boys at birth and they gained like crazy for the first couple of months and then just kinda found their place at the low end of the charts, but...
