    What's your outside temp today?

    It was 9 here today too! I now use a heated dog bowl from Jeffers in one of my runs and it works perfect. I have the heated base in the other run and it is a pain to fill that font up so when it craps out I'm getting another bowl! Heated base and font = $90 at TSC Heated bowl = $17.95 plus $6...

    New chicks in Cold New England

    Welcome to BYC! I have had just three hatches with a broody but never with temps this cold. I would get her a rabbit cage for your basement and keep them there. It is going to be hard to integrate them back into the flock and I have no experience with that because mine were always left in with...

    how much is "chicken sitting" worth?

    When we go away we have sitters stay at the house. They take care of three dogs which includes socializing with them as well as feeding watering them. We have two coops and they let them out in the am, feed and water them, collect eggs and lock them in at night. We pay this young couple $25 per...

    Quote: Hi Cindy, apparently there is hope One of my girls started squatting a week ago but the other one is still holding out. It's been pretty cold and with the short days I wasn't holding much hope. I was up for just cuddling myself but how sweet is this?

    Amish woman on TV said Chickens don't make good pets??????

    Heron's Nest Farm : There will always be someone who sees the world differently than you. With that being said, I am not a horse person, but I know people who make their WORLD revolve around their horse! I really don't see the point, as they are not my thing. My advise is take the comment...

    Amish woman on TV said Chickens don't make good pets??????

    Quote: My thoughts exactly. Every animal has a purpose in the Amaish lifestyle. Yup, there are exceptions to this I'm sure but overall this is correct for the majority. When their buggy horses get old or injured they send them off to auction where the meat man buys them by the pound for human...

    How long or how many years to keep hens

    Some great takes on the subject! If you do choose to cull due to lack of productivity I think doing it yourself is great. It's sad to see people advertising free chickens on Craigs List because they are no longer laying. I either keep them or cull them myself. I owe it to them to give them a...

    Brahma Thread

    Nice Brahmas everyone! They are my favorite large breed although I do have them in Bantam size also. The friendliest and the best layers in my flock

    Suggestions on new chicks to flock ???

    I find the best dual purpose chickens are Brahmas. They lay well, taste good and brood occasionally. You can always add a Silkie or silke mix to the flock as your brooder just to be sure you can keep reproducing if you want meat for the freezer. Good luck on your adventure ETA They are also...

    Free range chickens with fence?

    I have bantam and LF and their area which consists of woods and pasture is surrounded by a four ft fence. I have never had any go over, even the d'Anvers stay Inside no problem. I figured I would have to clip their wings but no need. They have ample room, different types of foraging areas, and...
