Hey all! Some of you may remember that last year I had a serious bear problem, and lost a few chickens, and a lot of sleep. So this year, I took the time to build them a brand new enclosure, and wanted to show you all. Yes, it won't be bear proof, as I don't believe anything is, but it will...
Hey all! Not too long ago, I found a new collection of quilting fabric called Sunrise Silhouette..and it's gorgeous. I managed to get quite a bit of each one in the collection, so I am selling the rest of it in my Etsy store. Here are some pics, and pm me if you are interested! There are a total...
Ok, I finally got some pics to post here, in hopes that some of you can tell me what I have. I picked up 6 chicks from someone who bought a huge lot from a hatchery, so I have no idea what they are. Actually, I can tell what a couple of them are, although I am guessing, and I'm sure I'll be told...
We built a new aviary for the girls after the whole bear problem...and as they were stressed, they started picking at each other's backs. I made them all saddles, and look how cute they are!

I live at 9000 ft in the mountains, and the wind here in the winter is atrocious. I bought a couple of tarps, and plan on making a snug fitting cover for the coop to alleviate the winds freezing out my sweetie pies. Does anyone have any thoughts on why I shouldn't do it this way?
Ok, I am sure this has been addressed before, but I cannot find any info about it. I want to add a signature to the bottom of all my posts, like all my chickens, their names, and so forth. I did a search, and it says to go to my profile, but I see nothng about a signature. Help! Please?
New to being a member..but not to reading on this forum. Thought I'd better introduce myself..my name is Melanie, and I live at 9000 ft in lovely Wondervu, Colorado. I had had my chickens for about 7 months, and love every minute of them. I built my own coop, and love being with my chickens. I...
Hi all..
I have lurked here for awhile, and unfortunately, my first post is a sad one. I have (or had) a flock of thirteen, all are about 7 month old. They all came down with a respiratory problem, and were given antibiotics to help. No yucky eyes, just a runny nose (clear discharge). It...
