    First Egg Countdown

    I finally got on the computer to upload pictures...he was so excited about it, that he was out first thing this morning looking for another one.

    First Egg Countdown

    Finally our first egg! It was laying in the run so I put it in the nest box for our little man to find "first"!
  6. Part of the Chicken Run: Hopefully next year the hostas will be filled in better! I planted green beans in between since I ran out of space in the garden and the flowers I planted didn't grow!

    First Egg Countdown

    Thanks for the encouraging words Pele!! My husband deploys next month so I want to be able to show him that all of the money and work that was put into the coop and run wasn't for nothing

    First Egg Countdown

    The first pic is of my only hen that seems mature. She is loud and I believe doing the squat! I opened up the nest boxes last night and put in straw and plastic eggs and also put out an oyster shells dish. I have been keeping an eye on her for a few days now and found this thread last night and...

    The Problem I've Found With Cornish Cross.

    My did the same sort of thing until I mastered the "I'm the food lady" concept. I had mine in a tractor but they got their free range time every morning (which they mostly used to sun bathe!) I built my tractor wrong so I had to practically climb in to get their food and water out to clean and...

    Ok, we finally got a sturdier fence built (mainly so my dogs stop running into/plowing over the cheap way we had it before! Now the problem is how in the heck do I put netting overtop to deter hawks and keep the chickens from wanting to perch on fencing! Since having chickens, I noticed a hawk...

    POLL: Chickens - easier, same or harder then you thought, once you got them?

    Although I am not even 2 months into chickens (had gotten day olds), I can say that it is the same as I expected. I currently have meaties, 3 week old layers and 7 week old layers...1 coop, 1 brooder, and 1 chicken tractor. It gets rough sometimes when we get one of those beautiful spring days...
