    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    I do love my chooks... but I have learned the hard way that this can be heart-breaking. When I started this, I had no idea that there were raccoons, foxes, coyotes, hawks, and bobcats around here. Not to mention that it stays above 100 degrees F for weeks at a time. Plus one lousy neighbor...

    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    Maybe there is someplace in between? You mentioned 6 hours... what about a 3 hour drive to meet somewhere midway?

    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    None that I have observed. Bought her from the feed store a year ago—I think they source chicks from Meyer’s but I could be wrong. The Barnevelder chicks were a week older than the Australorp chicks that day and I wanted one of each... so I deliberately grabbed the biggest Australorp and the...

    Thank you! I didn't know that--but it is really very lovely! And King was certainly attracted to the shiny pretty bichhiya and Paayal. :lol:

    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    Here is a link to the video (hopefully it works this way): https://drive.google.com/file/d/11YWiEVFW-fv-bNexGoOtiT3YVBluG5ku/view?usp=sharing There is a story behind this. In our very first group of chicks, we had an extremely bossy golden-colored silkie hen named King--she is on the left of...

    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    I’ll send you a current one when I get home from work. I was unable to upload a short video from April—I had painted my toenails (not something that I usually do) and she noticed!

    Barnvelder hen in DFW (hatched Aug 2018)

    Sadly, our diminished flock is down to one lonely survivor—Coco the Barnevelder. I cannot in good conscience bring home more chicks until we build a predator/heat-proof coop. Coco is sweet and curious and is looking forward to having feathered friends again. Please let me know if you could...

    Barnevelder Cockerel needs rehoming in TX (DFW area)

    Yes, I can see how that would be! And if I were your neighbor, i would gladly limit my flock to hens to enhance our friendship! I will be horrified to learn that I contributed to someone's worsening condition! Please be assured that there is no known medical basis for my obnoxious neighbor's...

    Barnevelder Cockerel needs rehoming in TX (DFW area)

    Actually, roosters are allowed here. It's just that my awful next door neighbor (just the one--but he's the one everyone on the block cannot stand for multiple reasons) repeatedly complained about my last rooster, a jauntly little Polish named Lightening, to the city and the city repeatedly...

    Barnevelder Cockerel needs rehoming in TX (DFW area)

    Miss Lacey, a sexed Barnevelder day-old chick we bought in Sept 2017 has turned out to be a Mr. Lacey. Unfortunately we cannot have a rooster in our neighborhood (one of these days we are moving to where we CAN have roosters... but that is a few years away). He has been raised as a pet in a...

    Dutch Bantams??

    No, he's been wanting them but the past two years he was full of activities (football, band, and Boy Scouts while taking honor classes). This year he dropped football and told me that he's ready to focus on showing chickens. So we are back to looking for a pair or trio. The Texas State Fair...

    Dutch Bantams Breed Thread

    JeanR, it broke my heart to read that you were downsizing your flock. We have a small backyard flock of hatchery birds (for their eggs and as pets) but after seeing some magnificent show birds, my oldest decided that he wanted to raise and show quality chickens. I pointed him to the Internet to...

    Pipd's Peeps 2014!

    I am so sorry for the loss of Diana. We lost one of ours to a predator last week...she was the flighty one and ran under the playhouse when we rounded everyone up for the night. I honestly didn't realize that anyone could fit under the playhouse so had never put up anything to block them...

    I have a gameplan now for when my suspected cockerel starts to "violate" the noise ordinance.
