It feels like forever since I've been active on here, at least 3 years I would say. I had to leave so I wouldn't be tempted to keep adding to my flock! We have 6 layers now, that are 3 years old, so I'm looking to add 4 more to our flock this year. Just ordered a new cord for our Brinsea...
What is going on with my ladies saddle feathers? Or maybe ladies don't have saddle feathers. Anyway, in that area. It's only my brown hens, 2 EEs and 1 Welsummer. Can you see them? You can see the down, but they don't have feathers covering the down back there. Mites? Feather picking? It's only...
We put the babies out with the hens yesterday. Well there been out there for 3 days with a divider, yesterday we took down the divider and they slept in the coop last night. Hickety Pickety (Cynthia this is your Rhodebar) hopped right up to the roosting bar with the big girls and went in the...
Dang it. I posted pics of my (sexed!) leghorn and it seems everyone agrees it's a roo. I am just striking out! So does anyone have any juvenile pullets for sale? Just probably 1, I wanted to add 5 chicks this year and with 3 cockerel looking chicks I'm down to 4. I really wanted a leghorn...
That's what like to hear! I am not getting rid of any yet, I'd just like to have a general guess. Depending on how many are girls I may rehome the exchequer.
I hope you're right! I really want the wheaten colored one to be a girl! I love the coloring. The two white ones I'm more indifferent on, we also have a leghorn and Delaware in the brooder as well. I mean, I want two blue egg layers, but if one has to be a roo I'd rather have it be a white one! :)

No gender guesses for me?
Lisa although I would love more chicks we have enough. :) I just hope that at least 1 or 2 of the SBEL's I already got from you are girls!
Now that my chicks are older I'm finally back. :) I have to stop coming here so I won't be tempted to keep buying chicks! Here are some not great pics of The SBELs I got from Lisa. Are any of the pics good enough for a gender guess? They are the only straight run chicks I got so they are the...
How do you loosen it? The water level is down so they are getting water, I just worry that it's not enough. At least this water isn't getting filled with shavings and all over the brooder box!
Of the 2 chicks I bought on Friday the EE died Saturday morning. Not sure what caused it. I went back to IFA to get another EE but they were out so I ended up with an Iowa Blue, they look like pretty birds. I am concerned that I bought the chick waterer with the nipple cup thing and it doesn't...
