    Lakeshore Eggers Question

    Hey! Wondering if anyone has some day old/first week pictures of their lakeshore eggers? I know they will be a pretty mixed lot since they are mixed breed, but I'd love to see some possibilities! For anyone unfamiliar with lakeshore, they are a Meyer hatchery special mix known for their...

    Is my rooster a lost hope?

    I get that your worried. Just introduced my big boy to my bantam chicks not long ago. They sort themselves out fairly quick and you sure can keep an eye out. I really hope you manage to keep him!

    Is my rooster a lost hope?

    It may just be he feels insecure with the pecking order among the chicks. He wants to be leader but doesn't get enough interaction to establish himself. If you are worried about pecking, you can look up pinless peepers - a lot of people have had success stopping the bullying. A lot of pecking...

    Is my new chicken sick or just a wuss?

    I've heard of a lot of buff orps being at the bottom of the totem poll, as far as pecking order goes. We have a huge baby of a chicken. Despite her gigantic size, she is always ready for others to jump on her back and leaves food alone till 'the boss' is gone. I would keep an eye out, of...

    Our prized girl might be a boy

    Yeah that was what I was thinking! One reason I picked 'her' was because she hatched with a really large comb. I think it's charming when girls have large combs. Might get that large comb after all, but no eggs to go with it, oh well :)

    Looking for Your Stories: Pets vs Meat

    Thank you guys for sharing. I got involved in chicken keeping for my brother's sake and I didn't foresee just how emotionally invested I would become. Historically, we end up taking in animals and domesticating them either because they have traits we like OR we breed them for traits we like...
