    The Titanic of brooders

    Due to an unfortunate coyote incident I lost my rooster and 12 hens. Of the 5 hens left I collected eggs for a week and had a New Years hatch. I ended up with 13 chicks in the middle of the winter and with the nursery coop being drafty uninsulated I'll need to keep them inside longer than...

    Cowardly Rooster

    I picked up a 5 month old rooster about a month ago to replace one taken by coyotes. I'm very familiar with typical rooster behavior and have eaten my fair share of agressive roosters. Now I have the opposite problem. The new rooster was raised by a city dwelling chicken lover who allowed the...

    First incubator batch

    I've had an incubator for a long time but I've never used it before other than when I had a broody mama get off her nest after half her eggs had hatched. Last weekend a couple coyotes got into the coop and took 10 of my 15 chickens including my rooster. I collected eggs for a couple days and...

    Chickens doing housework

    Took this picture after the kids were done eating breakfast. They tend to be messy eaters as I have three toddlers under the age of three (crazy I know but it's getting easier the older they get). I had the patio door open and the "girls" decided to take the opportunity to clean the floor for...

    8 wk old Mystery Chicken

    Pulled a couple chicks out of the straight run bin at the feed store and have been able to identify all but this one. I'm assuming it is a hen but I may be wrong. It is quite a bit smaller than the others I got at the same time so I'm wondering if its a bantam or just a slow growing breed...

    Bargin Bin Mystery Chicks

    Any idea on these two would be a big help. I picked up four chicks that looked interesting out of the straight run bin at Big R and have figured out two of them but the other two are stumping me. I had thought they might be Welsummers but I don't think the coloring is right. I bought them 10...
