    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello, Working part-time (came out of "retirement") to make ends meet. Hubby is into the chickens (me, not so much) because I also work full time in a ministry and just no time. I enjoy watercoloring, journaling, calligraphy/cursive writing practice and using Samsung Health to keep up with my...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello there, At the beginning I wanted a dozen hens. I figured that would be easy to care for and clean up after. Not to mention the opportunity to reeeally get to know them and how to care for them. Hubby vetoed and insisted on having 50 (rolling my eyes really hard). After about of year...

    Great Pyrenees puppy we got killed a chicken. Is it a lost cause or how should we train her?

    So sorry you had to experience this, Adolphus. Same experience here, but I can't tell hubby nothing. What he and me call "training" are two different things. I hope you work it all out. I love that breed though. As stated, not the GP's fault, they are big ole gentle giants playing around.

    Switching up from chicks to pullets

    A little over a year into this and now hubby has decided to go with pullets going forward vs. ordering chicks. Last I looked they are so much more expensive but I suppose when I consider feed costs it probably comes out in the wash. The chicks sure were cute to watch grow and all, but me...

    Bloody Egg

    Hubby just returned from fetching eggs and putting chickens away for the evening and one eggshell was bloody. Only into this for a year and this is the first I have seen of that. He commented that it is from a new layer. But, humph, the youngest are too young to lay and the rest are over a...

    When can my chicks go into the outside coop?

    Oy vey am I late. Hubby put one brood out last evening. But from reading this the second surely are old and large enough. I know this brooding in spare bedroom needs to come to an end. Last set of doing so for me. I have informed hubby :D .

    Egg shell feeding

    Hello, Since days are shorter and most of our girls are not laying anyway; shouldn't I cease feeding egg shells to my girls at least until spring? Thanks in advance for response.

    Last new additions for this year: EEs and BMs

    Our EE Frizzles. One appears to be smooth which kinda kicks rocks. For some reason I thought purchasing from the hatchery if I paid the Frizzle price that all would present. Apparently that is not the case. I had done research and read about percentages, but for some reason figured ordering...

    Last new additions for this year: EEs and BMs

    A couple of weeks ago our last additions arrived, all pullets. We opted for 12 black australorps and three black marans. The paper that arrived with them said the marans have orange on their necks (I think it was orange). Welll, I don't see it, LOL. I am sure as they mature we will know the...

    New chicks a comin' . . . again!

    Bo Peep had pasty butt but hubby stepped in and handled it (tee heee hee). They sure do grow quickly. I'm babying this bunch though like I did our first breeder group. I'm not letting them out of their brooder until the last of next month. At that point I will have two sets brooding in the...
