I thought I would post a goofy chicken keeping moment. My neighbor wanted eggs. I dropped off eggs. When I got home I looked in mirror, I had done a spa day, with lotion on my face, then I went to the coop, a rooster kicked dirt in my face, I thought the dirt would stuff off, but forgot the...
My hen was attacked and bloodied. A hawk was hanging out and brave enough to sit on a fence 15' from me. At first I thought she got beat up by a goose, that has beat her up before. But this hawk keeps hanging out. Today I was prossessing 2 roosters, one rooster ran off 20' or so, and the hawk...

I had eggs (6) in a farm innovator 2100 still air hand turn. After hatching in it almost straight for 6 years? It started to go bananas, on my second to last hatch, but I tried it again and it seemed to be fine until this last hatch with 6 eggs. The temp shot up to 106. I...
I am having a paparazzi hatch-a-long. I may or may not like these people, but they have been posted the most in gossip mags. This is your chance to own a famous egg- or pretend to be that egg. I have 22 eggs I am hatching because my current hatch was shipped eggs, that had been tipped over by my...
I am starting a hatch-a-long with eggs I don't have yet- thanks Friday 13th. Anyhow I have hatched, some fun birds this year, all I wanted, my dream was NN, and Frizzles and or gray chicks. I recently hatched NN, but a friend here on BYC decided to send me some of her NN and Frizzles! This is a...
I had gotten 2 blue Ameraucanas in a Meyer's straight run rare breed selections. This one had no feathers on feet, and was a lighter blue, the other was darker blue and had feathers. This was the not as friendly growing up, but I always gave her her space. She came with 15 chicks and a meal...

DIY women may hate on this post, but why do guys hammer so well? I do my own projects because I don't have the patience to wait for a DH to do any job, but if they do, the can hit the hammer on the nail, 2x and be done. If I do it takes forever and I end up with a crooked nail , or one that...
These are set to hatch on Easter- or the 19th. I thought it would be fun to do the little mermaid. All were drawn on the computer. (my skills in paint.) Eggs were from a local farm, fridge and washed. (I know washing is not good.) Anyho- if you would like to chose someone from the little mermaid...
I have a guy saving eggs for me. He said he put a moist paper towel on them as they were saving the eggs.
I told him not to do that.
I that going to wreck the eggs? maybe it depends on how wet the towel was and where it was placed. I am not happy.
I got bored, so I am having a mini hatch-a-long, eggs going in on Friday the 14th, Valentine's day. This will be called Sweetheart's hatch-a-long. I only have 4, and hope people will chose an egg to name a sweetheart type name. Give me a tooth-ache!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy groundhogs day. It is a milestone of winter. Of course I never understood if the groundhog saw his shadow it means 6 more weeks of winter, seeing your shadow would mean a terrible cloudy day (winter) and a sunny day (shadow) would mean it is warming up...
I don't have eggs yet, but I am planning on doing a St. Patrick's day hatch-a-long Setting eggs on Feb 24th 2025. They will be Lavender Orpingtons from a friend's farm, some for me and some for him.
I am hoping if the government 'decides' masking is important to leave it up to the individual, and not the states. Not a fan of mask Nazis.
And if you are freaked out, no one is stopping you from masking, (*cough* political statement,) just keep your freak outs and controls off me.
Note- I...
