    Comment by 'Cissy48' in article 'Chicken Proof Garden'

    Great article. Well written and beautiful photos. I raise my chickens in a Permaculture environment with organic feed and free range. Because I mix my perennial and annual edibles it is a chore to keep the Girls out of trouble. A friend brought me a a huge load of untrimmed bamboo from his...

    BYC members in Massachusetts?

    Hi, I'm in Southeastern Mass. I kept chickens when my children were young and now for the last three years. They keep me young.

    not liking their feed....

    I have 4 B Andalusian pullets, 4 EE pullets, 3 Brahma pullets and 5 Brahma Roos. They are 12 weeks old today. I haven't had chickens since 1978. (lost them all to dogs in the Big Snow Storm) There was no such thing as Org Feed back then....at least not around here. We made our own...

    not liking their feed....

    What brand of Organic Feed is most popular? My chickens barely eat any of their feed. I let them out after noon till roost time. They have free run of the garden/yard/woods this time of the year. I have 16 total. I have used less than 20#'s in about 3 weeks. When I let them out they go...

    American Bulldog

    Thank you all! My Lilly is ten yo. she is still like a puppy. She weighs a tad over 100lbs. Her Dad weighed 165. She is great with any living thing. She was once attacked by a Lab and cowered and went down on her stomach and the dog tore a hole in her. This took place in the house and...

    American Bulldog

    Thank you all for replies. My Lilly will be ten this Winter Solstice. She is great with all animals and people. I just got chicks this summer (first time since 1978). I socialized her with them when they were in the house. I put their fuzzy little butts in her face. Seems to have worked...

    American Bulldog

    Has anyone used Am Bulldogs as Flock Guardians? My "Lilly" has a natural inclination to fuss over my flock of mixed chickens. When I'm bringing them in she tries to help. I think she actually counts them.....

    Light Brahmas, born July 11. Eggs?

    When should I start looking for eggs from my Brahmas? Being winter layers I am assuming I may see some before Spring. I also have B Andalusian and EE. Could they lay before spring? Is twenty weeks average for these breeds?

    6 wk old Brahma, what color?

    The feathering is very heavy on the outside. They still have some fuzz but the feathers are over to the middle toe. They are filling out daily. Along with the Brahmas I bought some Blue Andalusians and EE. Those two breeds feathered out way earlier. The Brahmas make me think of Bubbles...

    6 wk old Brahma, what color?

    The comb is pea I think. I need new glasses and they won't sit still long enough for me to see. It does appear to be three with the center one only slightly larger. They are all a tad different. They are only 6 weeks yesterday. I'll check out the leg feathers more. They look like they have...

    Someones dogs killed 16 of my Silkies

    So Sorry. Been there, done that. The last chickens I had (before now) was in 1976. I went out after the "Great Snow Storm" to see blood spattered new snow everywhere. Dogs. Well, I have recovered and am back at it. Good luck.

    Thank you for the great start to my Morning!

    6 wk old Brahma, what color?

    Single. Kinda smushed though. Gotta love um. I call one Tattiana. She looks like a Russian Peasant in her black shawl. The markings are quite stunning. Thank you.....C

    6 wk old Brahma, what color?

    I have yet to down load photos (Help). My Hatchery chics are black/blue with white lacing. All kinds of patterns. I ordered Light Brahmas. I am new and confused.* I didn't expect to get specimen birds from a hatchery but these are not any color I can find on the internet. I must say most...
