    Just got 5 laying hens after a few years without any chickens. Would love to know if there are breeders around Monroe and the north part of the state.

    Well More Bad News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ran across this thread today and wanted to post that the NPIP inspection on my flock was all negative. There was a great sigh of relief. I can only guess that in a large hatchery, that eggs are from many chickens (so some could be infected with pollurom and some healthy) and eggs could be...

    Tractor construction (updated pic)

    How tall and wide is the run? I am going to try that with wire cattle panels covered with chicken wire. I would like it tall enough to go inside to clean or catch a bird if need be. It doesn't have to be 6 ft but at least where you could bend a little and walk around in there. I really like...

    Lemon Blue Standard Cochin Hatching Eggs-CA

    Lynne, What color rooster do I need for these hens? If I hatch more of your eggs and get a rooster, can I put him with these hens? Don't know much about chicken genetics yet.

    Lemon Blue Standard Cochin Hatching Eggs-CA

    I wondered about the color of chick #2. She is black but has long streaks of white on her front feathers and prominent lacing on her back. Will she be solid black or something else. Lynne, you are the expert. What do you think? They are so nice and my grandson turns #3, (he named her...

    Thanks all, these chicks are from a lemon blue cochin project. I did want a pretty rooster but three pullets are great. Seems to be unanimous vote for pullet. This forum is the ticket!! Carolyn

    They're hatching! Anyone else hatching?

    Yeah, shipped eggs are a real pain!! I do have 7 of the cutest chicks playing in their brooder box next to me. Those little bantams are unbelievable. They are so tiny and holding their own with the marans. I may have to separate them if the big guys bully them. I have never seen anything...

    Dog-proof option for your run: cattle or combo panel

    Hooray for cattle panels!!! We have a miniature horse farm and use cattle panels for everything, even lining our PVC fence for extra protection. When we got chickens a few months ago, I cut chicken wire to fit the panel with ample turn under all around and zip tied it all around the panel. It...

    SNAKE!!!(now a dead snake) Snake lovers, don't look.

    I found a lot of this thread amusing. Most folks who are against killing snakes go on to say they do not have venomous snakes where they are. Those of us who do have them and have them invade our space are less sympathetic to them. Our farm was infested with copperheads a few years ago...
