I got my first egg last night. It was from my black sex-link. Then this mornign I went out to find that my EE had laid me a beautiful egg as well. YAYAYAY! I am over the moon!
Just being a show off...
Chickens, a kids best friend:
My beautiful Clover:
Sweet, adorable Abby in front, and Dumpling in back:
Another of Clover because she is just so cute!:
And a close up of my dear little Dumpling. The pic does not do her justice. She is very fluffy. I am surprised...
I promised to post pics nearly 2.5 weeks ago.. but I have not had 2 min. LOL
So here it is. this is the duckling we found in the middle of a busy road 3 weeks ago. We tried many times to find it's mommy but we were never successful.
Now we are raising it like the chickens and hoping we are...
I got these beautiful babies from Buster and when I got them they both seemed to be pullets. In the last couple of days one has changed and I wonder if it isn't a roo.
What do you think?
this is the one I think may be the roo.
This is the other one. I think it is a pullet.
The tails are...
I am so excited. I got 2 beautiful new EE chicks today from "Buster" that posts here. I introduced them to my sweet Abygail and they were fast friends. We named the more outgoing friendly EE Dumpling. It ran straight up to Aby and I was nervous but it was as friendly as could be. Now they...
with chicks for sale? I am looking for a couple of pullets. Would love to see a GSl or BSL but am open to anything that will be a layer. My current chick is 6 weeks so I would like to get something close to that age or younger. They will be a pet. I have a coop but my chick has never seen it...
Not even sure where to post this.
Driving down a busy road in the middle of town where there is NO water we found a baby duck. We searched and searched and there was no sign of a mommy anywhere. It was in the middle of the busy road so we grabbed it. It can't be more than 24 hours old and is...
This is their first time going outdoors.

Aren't they beautiful! I am so in love. The awkward teen stage... LOL
This is the chick I posted about that I got for my singleton. Theya re very happy together now that they are used to each other... but could it look more like a little penguin? I am so in love!
And then showin off my abbies together.
I got another sex-link pullet to go with my singleton. I put the new baby in. They are the same age. My baby started attacking it like crazy! They are only 3 days ols but mine was pecking it's beack,a nd feet and trying to stand on it etc. Did I do something wrong or are some chicks...
I am having a hard time deciding if my baby is a rooster or a pullet. From the front it looks like a rooster, but from the back it looks like a pullet. This is my first chick and I am as noob as they come so tell me your thoughts please. I am really hoping for pullet.
This is the wing...
Since so many people here helped so much I thought I would put together a little album of our journey. The chick is looking so great!

Working on getting body out. Look at those HUGE feet!
Just after hatching...
#1 id doing well. #2 and #3 both died. They never finished hatching and I think it was time for mother nature to do her job. I think I just let it go too long and they were already to oxygen deprived to function normally.
#1 is a sticky chick, or maybe there is a different term for too...
Now what?
We are on day 24. I thought they had died. I candled the one late last night and saw that it had grown, but no movement and nothing in air hole so I thought I had killed them. So I just put a tiny hole in one of the eggs right where the air sac is and the chick started screaming at...
today is the end of day 23 and I am hearing and seeing nothing from my chicks. I talked into the inc and heard no "talking" back, no chirping etc. I decided to candle an egg so I slid the bator open just a touch and quickly removed an egg. Didn't even drop the temp. I candled it and the egg...
My son has an auto immune disorder and his immunologist that is located in another state called and said that he needs to see him tomorrow morning. I will leave here tonight, and be home tomorrow night. The chicks are already on day 22, but no rocking, peeping.. nothing. How bad will it be to...
