    Feeding Ideas?

    Recently, my family and I have decided to switch from manually feeding our chickens to leaving food out for them to eat in, say, a trough. I was wondering if anyone had any helpful ideas for the best way to do this. We have had a major problem with rats in the past, and don't want them to come...

    Chicken Attacked by Predator -- Infection Imminent?

    So the other day, a roo of ours, a small bantam named Dusty, was attacked by an unknown predator(at this moment we're assuming it was a raccoon, but we can't tell). The bite is small and more of a scrape on the back of his head/neck. He is alive and doing fairly well, responding okay with what's...

    Just us and the Chickens----A Story of Triumph, Loss, and Everything Inbetween

    Hey there, all! This is a little something I've decided to start. It will be a kind of journal cataloging all of the crazy things that happen on our farm. Some things can get a little dodgy, and, seeing all of the other people on B.Y.C mustering up their courage and starting things just like...

    Missing Eggs and a Duck with a Limp?

    Half-Drowned Chick; Advice Wanted

    So, first thing's first, I have this maybe one-month-old chick in my lap right now, wrapped in a facecloth because of something that happened maybe thirty minutes ago. Me and my father decided that, since it's very sunny today, upwards of seventy degrees, we'd let one of the mothers and her...

    Could Anyone Tell Me What Breed These Roos Are?

    So...I have two roosters, and I think one of them might be an Easter Egger, and the other a Silkie, but I'm not sure. Here are pictures of them... Jordan, the suspected Easter Egger... And Snowflake, the suspected Silkie. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

    Come and Meet the Flock! Post your Own Photos!

    This isn't all of my flock, but quite a few of them. :) We also currently have two broody hens that are sitting on eggs right now---Lucky and Snowfall. They're both due around early June, I would say. Anyway... Here's Aflack, a Blue Swedish duck. Sadly, we're not sure whether or not he's...

    One of Our Chickens is to be a Grandmother!

    I'm really excited about this. One of our bantams, Goldie's, daughter is sitting on eggs. :) Goldie's daughter is Lucky, and Lucky had two chicks before---Pepper and Moonlight---but those two were snatched away by the hawks we get around here. :/ I'm hoping the little bantam will be more...

    Newbie Alert~! X3

    Hi! I've just joined this site today and am loving it already. XP I didn't know how many people actually own, raise, and breed chickens...I'd thought we were a lost breed of people! Turns out there are far more than I previously thought! Anyway...I have two chickens who are brooding at the...
