    These are some of my best layers. Next to my Australorp hens they are my second best layers. They lay some of my largest eggs XXL Eggs is what I call them. They are among the sweetest chickens I have and befriended my children within days of pruchasing them. With their bright colouring they...

    Brooders Coops Runs

    10/16/2010 We wanted to have our Main Coop finished before the babies showed but life has it's own agenda and it does not always work out the way we plan. So the first batch of babies arrived on 10-07-2010 and they needed a place to live temporarily until we can get the Main Coop in full working...

    ...section for breeding and raising chicks. I am a big fan of the Heavy Breeds and I do not think my husband knows just how far my obsession reaches. *LOL* In less than 2 weeks I went from 0 to 28 chickens, poor man. I just sold off 10 of the 28 to make room for the order I just placed for 21...

    ...coop hardcore the last two nights. I even drug out the extension cord and the living-room lamp out in the yard so we could keep working after dark. *LOL* Although I was disappointed at first that we had to move the chickens I think this new spot has turned out to be much better. There is a...

    Quote: I picked mine up from Ideal last October and they have not had any problems with laying or feathering. The pictures I posted are of them at 6 months old, I have not taken any new ones recently but they still look the same. Their feathering is amazing, very detailed and bright on the...

    Quote: We used 2 layers of 1/2 in. plywood and then covered ours with linoleum flooring. Easy to clean and helps with keeping the floor from getting soaked with chicken droppings. You can find scraps from Home Depot/Lowes in sizes from 4X4 to 12X12 for around $5 to $20. Then we just cover with...

    Quote: Genny you are not going against the flow, I had them growing up and I laughed at a poor lady down at Greens when she said RIR's were too aggressive for her to have cause the ones we had growing up were nothing like she was describing. I think you have a point about Heritage vs. Hatchery...

    Quote: Yes they are but the Gold-Laced are right behind them in the race for feathers. The last two times I have got chicks they feathered out pretty fast. They are also the more dominant of all of the chicks and the most friendly. Every time I go out to check on them the RCR's are the first...

    ...I would empty the contents of my stomach of fear out in the bathroom. heh Now that I am older and am somewhat in control of my life I just avoid that sort of thing until I am comfortable. You have nothing to apologize for *hug* Well I am off to coddle my hens and feed them. You all take care!

    It will take him a while to recover from the trauma he's been through. As long as he is eating and drinking though he has a much better chance of making a full recovery. Btw, I think I mentioned this before but I totally forgot until this morning that those Polish were St. Run not all pullets...
