    How NO, NO CHICKENS became MORE, MORE CHICKENS!! Late last year my husband tells me he wants to get some chickens and a rooster. I thought he had lost it and I replied "No, no way. They poop everywhere and they are not cuddly and I don't even like birds and what about the cats? How can you put...

    All I wanted was one FRIZZLE! Is that too much to ask?

    Bring on the Frizzles! Everyones pics are so cute! What has me bummed the most is that I bought a dozen eggs that weren't fertile at an auction that was for HATCHING EGGS! I really hope it was a mistake on the part of the person who donated and not intentional.

    All I wanted was one FRIZZLE! Is that too much to ask?

    Since the first time I laid eyes on a frizzle I wanted one. I've bid on ebay and checked all over for eggs or chicks. Either nobody has them or when someone does have them I don't have the money. Plus, after spending $70 on various eggs to be shipped to us and none hatched, I'm a little hesitant...

    2 things about baby chicks... one question...one statement....

    Out of all the chicks we have hatched, bought or somehow ended up with (we seem to always have more chicks than chickens and roosters! LOL) our phoenix's have been the loudest and wildest. DH built a special nursery outside for them because having them in the brooder box in the house was driving...

    Can you hear chicks heartbeat through shell with stethoscope?

    I don't think I have ever heard the heartbeat, but I have heard some knocking to get out! It's really cool!

    Survey about your CHICKENS!!!

    What made you choose a particular breed of chicken? Silkies because they were just so darn cute and fluffy! American Game because we rescued a bunch. Marans because DH's aunt gave me some eggs! They are my fav! Was there a chicken breed that you regretted getting? Silkies again. They only...

    I want babies!!

    Yup, get a rooster and you'll be in business! Most of our girls go broody about the time we have given up on them and are getting ready to put the eggs in the bator! Sometimes you have to be patient, but that being said, our hatch rate with our broodies is always way better than using the bator.

    ID for little ones

    Tailfeathers-Thanks for clairfing! Guess I left that part out. Especially when I thought you put a hole in the chicks toe at first too. DH had to explain to me about the webbing. But yes we were doing it right. Actually, DH does it but he had experiance with chickens before he met me so he knew...

    How do you sex Silkie Bantams? (have pictures)

    We didn't know until we got eggs or cock a doodle doos. Out of 3 birds we got 2 boys and a girl. But after waiting almost 6 months, it was so exciting to finally know who was what!

    ID for little ones

    When DH first told me about toe punching I thought it was the most evil thing in the world. But at the time we had only a few chicks and I couldn't see buying a zillion bands for 4 little chicks. I broke down and get a toe punch. I help him do it and I still cringe about it but it really does...

    Denied by local humane society:(

    I have heard alot about people having issues adopting animals due to the humane society having the whole "screening" process. We have yet to deal with the issue but have started looking for a house to buy and decided that we would get a puppy once we were moved and settled. I started looking on...

    Pellet Gun for predators??

    We have a small crossman gun that we use. I just make sure to keep plenty of "pointy" pellets on hand as opposed to the flatheaded or round ones. Granted, the majority of our predator problem is neighborhood cats so DH is only allowed to shoot to scare and not to kill. Mostly, cuz I have one cat...

    Need Advice! Chicks? Pullets? Nothing?

    The breeder is great. Chicks are $10.00 and if you buy a few sometimes she will go down on the price a bit. I go out to her house and she lets me in with the chicks to pick who I want to take home. Or she will go in and I tell her who I want to see and we go from there. She really is fantastic...

    Need Advice! Chicks? Pullets? Nothing?

    Ok, heres the facts! In September I bought 2 Silkie chicks. One blue, one black. Then October came and I bought 2 more. This time 2 splashes. The idea was that I would have my own mini flock. Ideally, I would have one boy and 2-4 girls. If I ended up with more than one roo I would just rehome...

    rooster fight - both lost

    I have used a product called Liquid Skin on my roos combs. It comes with a little brush and you brush on a couple layers and it dries and makes like a little protective shield. It kinda stings a bit when I use it on myself so I make sure I blow on it some also. Plus, it dries a little faster...
