Our Coop: We pretty much took our old shed and replaced the roof. Then added 2 windows, and took the old dog run and turned it into the chicken run! We also took some cheap plastic chicken wire and tomatoe stakes and made a run for when we're home. They get a lot of ourside time now. We recieved...
I have a Banty mixed breed Rooster and a large mixed breed rooster that need a new home.
Please PM for more info.
ETA: I DO NOT want to know what these will be for... ;0)
Our Banty Robin is the trouble maker... and it looks like he's rubbing off on Batman...
I think both are going to have to go. But from watching Tim going out there I saw Batman size him up, spur, and the turkey getting between Tim and Batman almost as if to get between the fighting. Batman...
Our Tom attacked my husband, along with our big roo. I'm not sure what to do but he's saying we have to get rid of him...
Why would they be ganging up on him? It's been all of a sudden. I guess last night Batman (the roo) was following him close behind when he was leaving the coop with Captain...
We have our little Buckbeak easter egger and he is just fine! I was so nervous after he hatched but he eats and drinks. We just make sure to have a deeper dish for him to eat and drink out of.
Captain is either getting an attitude or trying to attract our hen Morgan.What does his hissing/huffing mean when he's strutting? Is it a sign of aggression or is he trying to attract Morgan for mating? He only does this when he's strutting.
She'd be a year old in June.
The more I look into it I think she may have been egg bound. Although she showed no outward distress that we saw. It's a mystery. I just don't want to lose another one.
We lost our 2nd chicken (mixed breed) to an unknown cause. DH said she was fine Monday and when he went out to collect the eggs last night she was dead. No sign of injury. But we were getting some double yolkers for a while. I'm not sure if she got eggbound or what.
What should I look for. I am...
Thanks for the congrats and well wishes!
She's such an angel! It's so refreshing to be able to put a baby in pink! I've been surrounded by blue!
She's adjusting nicely and I can't believe how well her brothers are looking after her.
I didn't know who would pop first the pullets or I but the pullets beat me to it! It was hilarious the day that I went into the hospital for false labor. I told DH at least we got something!
But she finally made it!

Saw this on youtube and thought it was HILARIOUS!
We have 2 turkeys and everyone was asking if they were for Thanksgiving... well they are just pets and this song is just what I pictured them singing to us!
It gets dark here by 4:45. The past 2 days DH has gone out to let them out and has found eggs in the nests. Yesterday we had 3 eggs in the nests and that was before he closed them in at dark. Well this morning he comes in with another one.
Is it common for them to lay after dark? They just...
Ok Robin our head honcho is misbehaving really bad! I had to wrangle in the turkey who got out of the coop, and when I went into the fence Robin came up and sparred with me. I had to keep my foot up to keep him from attacking me so I could grab the rake in the coop to keep him at bay while I was...
LOL because DH and I are softies we have 4 Roos... they all are in competition with each other so I don't know how long we're going to be able to keep them.
My head roo attacks everyone. We're trying to set up boundries for him... and keep him in line but he's getting worse. He may have to be...
We got our first egg the other day... 11/10! Woooohooo the lucky lady just turned 21 weeks.
So there's a little story as to why we didn't get it until yesterday. It would seem that my baby decided to sent me to the hospital with early labor. But the day before I was telling DH that one of the...
