    WTB- Silkie-SC

    I really, really want to get a Silkie pullet. The younger, the better. White, black, blue, or splash would be ideal! We can only have hens in the city limit, so I sadly, cannot adopt any cockerels. If you have one, please let me know. I get my 1 day old chicks in the mail tomorrow, so a young...

    Meanie Meanie

    So, i moved my 10 week old pullet inside due to these high heats (108!!). I have been supervising the visitations of Libby and the almost 3 week olds for a week now.

    Sneezing chicks

    Hey all. I had my chickies out tonight and as I was watching chicken tv, I heard itty bitty sneezes. Not constant, only maybe once or twice each over the hour and a half we were outside. I have checked and no runny noses, no crusty eyes, no wheezing. Eating, drinking and exploring normally. But...

    New chicks.. Doesn't seem impacted

    My 3 chicks arrived yesterday and promptly started eating and drinking like champions! I have provided some sand on the bottom of the brooder to let them eat. Their crops seem full, but are not hard. Easily massaged and kinda squishy. Do I need to be on the lookout for anything in particular...

    How glad I am to have this website and forum? I mean, the advice is great, the stories and situations entertaining and educational... And "chicken people" just seem to be the nicest, most honestly down to earth people I have had the pleasure of socializing with... Even if it is just online! I...

    Finally... Hubby gets excited

    My poor, wonderful, much-harassed hubby has finally admitted that if I could come up with a bumper sticker for his car to support my new hobby (obsession), he would display it. So... I told him that I would gladly design one on that has a cute fuzzy baby on it with the slogan "my wife digs...

    Chicken Tractors and Predators

    So - I'm probably going to be building a chicken tractor this weekend. I am planning on putting some of the anti-dig stuff fanning out from the bottom - but just wondered if having a tractor instead of a coop would also be helpful in preventing the creatures from getting in. I plan on moving the...

Woke up this morning to find a rabbit sitting IN the pot with the beans, happily munching away. Poor bean is pretty ruined. Time to move the plants to the upper deck...
