    Beautiful EE Rooster in need of re-homing

    My beautiful EE rooster, Cinnamon is 17 weeks old. He is a sweet boy and take care of his ladies. My neighbors are having a fit over him crowing although their stinkin' dogs bark for hours on end. (I love dogs, I have one, but I don't let him bark for hours on end annoying people). I live...

    Best scenario for my broody?

    I have a broody barred rock so I talked the DH into letting me get some fertile eggs. They will be here Monday, 5/20. I have an "A" frame coop with the nest buckets and roosts in the top. My three girls insist on all laying in one nest. Soooo...I put a makeshift wire up there separating the two...

    Looking for advice on "Fly Eliminators"

    Hello all, I have recently moved to the mountains in California and find the flies a truly annoying problem. I receive various catalogs on animal products and saw a biological product called "Arbico Fly Eliminators." Apparently, this is a miniscule parasitic type wasp that lays eggs in fly...

    Insecure about Coop/Runbe Security

    Hello all, I am blessed to be moving to the country in Sierra Nevada Mountains near Yosemite National Park. We'll have 2 1/2 acres of meadow & woods. I am thrilled beyond words but I've been reading about predators and now I'm freaked out. My three girls are my pets as well as my egg supply...

    Need help with nest boxes mounted on the outside of the coop?? Please?

    My husband and I are moving to the mountains (the Sierra Nevada's in CA) by the end of Spring. We currently have a small "A" frame coop that I want to modify (for more chickens, of course). In modifying it, I want to safely attach egg boxes to the outside so we can use the current spot where...

    Loose droppings/diarrhea???

    One of my RIR's has very loose reddish-brown droppings. Yesterday while free ranging in my back yard her dropping was clear and watery with a few grains in it. She isn't acting sick. She isn't egg-bound that I can tell. I can't find lice or mites on any of them. I haven't changed their diet...

    Chicken Fussing?

    I'm wondering if anyone else thinks hens fuss with each other. My barred rock, Mabel started laying first and now one of my two RIR's, Mildred is laying. Pearl is a late bloomer, I guess, they are all the same age. Anyway, Mabel seems to be fussing because Mildred is in one of the two nest...

    First Egg!!!!!

    One of my three girls laid her first egg today! I'm pretty sure it was Mabel, my barred rock, her waddle and comb are very red and bigger than my two RIR's. I put a fake egg in each of the two nests yesterday and went out to look a few minutes ago. I did a double-take when I saw two eggs...

    Hens will be old enough to lay in winter

    I have a question about my girls beginning to lay in winter. They will not be old enough to begin laying until around Christmas this year. Will they still begin to lay even though day light hours are short? Thanks!

    Cabbage entertainment for the girls

    I just have to let my fellow chicken lovers know about my girls and their cabbage entertainment this morning. I think the entertainment was really for me although it is keeping them busy. I took an apple corer and put in a hole through the center of a small cabbage. I had an old wire...

    My Girls have learned to "go to bed" at night!

    I'm such a proud chicken mom. Saturday night we were out until after dark. Got home about 8:30pm and I went out to get the girls in the coop and close the pop door. Lo & behold, my girls had put themselves to bed! So I just secured the coop door. Last night I watched from the house to...

    Secure Coop?

    We have three pullets and getting ready to put them out in an "A" frame coop we have built. I have tried very hard to think of anything that might secure the coop. Small hardware cloth around the bottom of the "A" for a run secured with very long staples and stapled very close together. DH...

    Our first outing!

    Mabel, Pearl & Mildred went outside in their newly built "play pen" today. We have been working hard over the weekend to get their play pen & their coop finished. The coop is actually still in progress. I must say I'm ready to get their dusty little butts in the coop and out of my bathroom...

    Help, can't remember where I saw it!

    Hi Chicken Lovers! I was browsing through the other day and saw a sign/painting someone put on their coop, I believe their name is Ranier. I wanted to ask how he/she made it. Is there a way to go directly to someone's profile or post a message to them? Thanks! Donna

    My Chicks are 1 week and 1 day old! AND my new blog

    Hi everyone, I can't believe how quickly Mildred, Mabel & Pearl are growing (Two RIR's and one BR). At one week and one day old, they are busy and so much more active than when I got them at three days old. Amazing little critters! I'm so excited to have them and I'm enjoying them so much...
