There had always been one here in this neighborhood but it wasn't suppose to start until all the houses were built and that happened over a year ago. Here's the problem, many of the people here, didn't know that there was one and many don't want it, including myself. But a month ago, we received...
and I need a conformation. I have started seeing her peck at the older and well extablished top hen for pecking order, when just a few months ago, she would have had her head taken off by the other hens but then again.....it could be mounting. It could be obvious that Barbie is a rooster. It...
From all reports, she was fine yesterday. And last night when she was brought into her coop. But this morning as we went to let them out, she was laying half on her side on the floor. No injuries that I can see. She keeps her eyes mostly closed. Her comb is starting to limp over and she...

We finally made a chicken tractor for the chickens because a hawk ate one of them. There goes the whole idea of free ranging...So now that they are in the tractor during the day, they are noticable. That in turn cause my nosy neighbors to call the police on us.
Dh freaked out when the...

I got some from her. She is really nice. Thought I would get the word out for all those Kansas folks.

First off what I have right now is 6 (4 week old) Black Star Pullets, 2 black welsummer (is that possible?)pullets, and 7 (1 week old) Ameraucana Pullets, 4,1 week old black sex linked roosters that I will have to do something with.
Molting happens when, at a year or 18 months, which? And so...

I have 4 week old black stars pullets.
But today in my order from Ideal, I got 4 black sex-link males for warmth. Ideal says their black sex link are a cross between RIR Roosters and BR Pullets. The chicks have blond on their chests as well as the spot on their heads. But when I look at the...
They arrived on the 2:30 pm truck! I'm sooo excited! I ordered 7 and 11 came. So I am guessing the black little guys are my extra roos. Any guesses on what they are? Pic is in my blog in my sig.

I just hooped and hollard like no tomorrow. First off, I hate flies and right now they are bad. Second off, man my chick was fast! It was unbelievable to me. I didn't even know that was possible! I think they are only between 3-4 weeks old now. Now I just want to stroke them and repeat...
I put in an order for EE from Ideal last night. I ordered 7 pullets but read the fine print about roo "packing peanuts" might be shipped as well. LOL, bonus! But during this time of year do they really need more warm bodies?
Needless to say, spent the night just dreaming of chicks! It's...
It's a 5x3 ft 6 ft tall and it's in my garage so I didn't need to worry about the elements outside. Plus with it in the Garage, it's out of sight, out of mind for my suburban neighbors AND within city ordinances of it not being within 50ft of my neighbors houses. In about 4 or so months, I...
When she was first born she ran into everything and never seem to see where she was going. I thought it was newborn awkwardness. But it has been 5 days and now she keeps her eyes closed all the time. She is now getting a bit lively now that I have fed her by hand and seems ok except she keeps...
