Hello and thank you for visiting my BYC page!
Little Brook Farm is gradually becoming the little hobby farm I have always hoped it would be....
The chicken coop kit arrived on March 17th!

I bought my new Pug Puppy Karen's Baileys Irish...
This is an awesome idea for a tractor!!!! Good thinking! I need a tractor for my girls now that their run is nothing but dirt. I have seen so many tramp frames out at the road.... Thanks for the idea!
Hello, I have a 10 month old Welsummer who's comb & wattles have gone pale with a yellowish tint over the last few weeks. She is eating, but not as aggressively as the others. She is pooping, but not large poos. She seems to be moving a little slower than the others, she was the last one out...
I'm the kind of person who believe's that everything happens for a reason.... human error should not seal the fate of those chicks! I hope it all works out. Yayyyy free healthy chicks! Is the best way to look at it~
Hi, I've been reading the threads on this topic but cant seem to find an answer... I have been attempting the deep litter method so far this winter. Its been cold and we've had a lot of snow, so I thought it was a good idea to help keep the coop warm. But Im thinking I'd like to empty the coop...

One of my 23 week old Welsummers seems a bit off today. First thing I noticed was that she was walking slower than normal. I have kept an eye on her all day and she does seem to be somewhat lethargic. She stands with her eyes closed sometimes, other times she will settle and sit down. I don't...
Hi everyone. Today I noticed that one of my 24 wk old Buff Chantecler hens sounded a bit hoarse & gravely when she spoke. I spend a lot of time w/ my hens and have never heard this before. BUT she's not a "talker" so I wondered if this wasnt her normal sound. I also noticed the other day that...
I just found this on another post... regarding aspirin dosing for poulty. And a lot of other great info!

Mine hate the layer pellets too. They seem really big & hard. I tried to crush them up a bit for them and they wouldnt even crush down! I'm going to go get layer crunbles today. Switched to avoind all that dusty crumble waist but I see more pellets all over the ground that are waisted... off to...

I understand your excitement! We have some new ones laying also and love to go out and see if we have a new one. I agree that was a heavy frost...no frozen water bowls. My silkies have not started to lay...well I think not....I have 18 new ones to start! Can I ask what you mean by...
