FThe Brick Chick HouseE
Here are pics of the coop I am renovating. This was built by my granddad sometime in the 1940s, and he made the bricks by hand. I think it was actually designed to orginally BE a chicken coop, based on the shape and size, but I really have no idea of original intent...
I have a couple of hens that want to sit on eggs...for a while. Both Silkie hens, at least one Welsummer, and an Austrolorp. All of them do the same thing. I can go out in the morning and someone will be sitting in a nest on at least one egg tha they layed that morning, sometimes there will...
I have the same thing...I thought it MUST be a snake. I finally figured out those rascals were eating their eggs. I've tried everything suggested, to no avail. But as someone above said, they will eat it ALL with no trace, very fast. I made roll away nest boxes and try to go out early, but I...
I have Splash, Black and Blue, one of each, to rehome. 6 months old. Very pretty imho. I don't really even need any money for them, but thought it looked like I had to put a price. I just have a few too many roosters. I would prefer them all go at once, but take what you want. Message me...

My Dominique roo Big Mike started his weak little teenage crow at about 10 weeks, which was WAY earlier than I expected. He doesnt do it every morning, I have only caught him twice actually, but he may start earlier than I wake up. You for sure couldnt hear him from the house. They (he) are...
DG/F, God love her, wears too much lipstick and try as I might, she says she looks "washed out" without it. Stupid advertising. Y'all girls, seriously, look marvelous in your own God-given beauty. One guys opinion.
Very nice roo Mandy, I have one Dom roo who is 10 weeks old. How old is that one in the pic? 'Cause um, mine aint near that big yet. He did attempt his first crow this very morning. It was, as they say way up north, wicked cool.

Good point, if she had set one egg and hatched two chicks = 200% hatch rate.

I just finished my run (pics on my BYC homepage, they are kinda small) but I used some old chain link fence on the ground, built the run over the top, and left about a 6inch apron from the hardware cloth over the top of the chain link (no pics of that tho). Mower-wise, I think I might put a...
