    The Oldest chicken” contest

    I'll match you. I wrote this on my blog in May 2012. And these two have been my avatar here. "In a perfect world all seven of the new chicks would be hens, I fear two are Lola posers". Turns out only one was and Peanut turned out to be the best rooster on earth. Tiny, just one hand high. We...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    we found one! SO excited, 2 years old and sweet as can be. What breed he is went completely out of my mind, but I think it had blue in it, although as she said it she said he looked more brown to her. We don't care, we aren't breeding,

    Roosting Beam Question

    are you not going to have a poop board? My roost is slanted at about waist hight to maybe a foot higher at the back. I used three rows of roosts, with three different size wood rods, I couldn't find a consistent answer to what size round is best :) I'm thinking that high of a roost is going to...

    here is a before and after of my old girls dusting https://kalamaquilts.blogspot.com/2010/09/good-hair-day-bad-hair-day.html natural behavior. I also have a big washtub in the playpen with peat moss and a little dichotomous earth added, and they amuse themselves dusting there a lot.

    Wanted: very young or known to be friendly banty rooster

    how far are you? The Phantom above offered to ship, but I have zero idea how that works and how stressful it would be to our little live creatures.

    quilt ????

    I think it is cute, and like the two by two, and the careful fussy cutting you've taken the time to do. The only change I'd make is unsew the two top far left blocks and put them on the other end so you didn't have pinks meeting pinks.

    girl on the nest that hasn't laid an egg in months!!!

    I have two old girls, they have been finished laying for at least 18 months. When we put up the new nest boxes for the new girls, both old girls get in nearly every day, kind of vibrate ;) and then jump out and sing the egg song. I figure it's good training for the new girls. And good memories...

    Egg Bound Chickens. New cure?

    In my experience eggs are not hard shelled coming out, they are semi-hard and a bit flexible, then the hen stands over it for a minute or two then gives it the tiniest little peck to assure it has hardened up. That is why sometimes you see those little peck marks in otherwise perfect eggs. That...
