Ok...so I was discussing with a friend rabbit breeding software and was wondering if there was any chicken breeding software?? Anyone understand what I'm talking about...a software program that you input in the markings/feathers and characteristics of the maternal chicken and male chicken and...
OF the U of DE poster I was telling you about that my grandfather and DE famous artist (that is how he introduces himself really....a Delaware Famous Artist!). SUCH a HAM and almost 90 years old to boot!
It took me forever to find it....this was a special edition!

Hello All,
We are very excited to have a Keene, NH Chickenstock in the works. Dana at Agway has so graciously agreed to hosting a South Western NH event. We are thrilled and this thread is where all the information will be posted. I will keep everyone updated as we get closer to the event...
I'm confused...it appears the Delaware Blue Hen made popular by a Revolutionary war hero by staging 'cock' fights is a ROOSTER? So why would the state legislature, U of DE, and almost EVERY encyclopedia refer to this breed as a recognized chicken and have cock fights as a HEN AND adopt its name...
Hi all....my poor rooster who I purchased from a swap a few months ago is not well. He always walked a little funny and I questioned his feet from day one because the nail beds were blood red and he seemed to favor them a lot. Well...two months have passed and it has progressed and the vet...
I'm truly in !!
Breeder had chickens and a little girl who socialized him. He's a perfect little mini dachshund and perfect for our family. Almost crate trained 8 weeks old to the day...my three dd's are so thrilled!! No more than my DH though....he's never had a puppy/dog...

This chick was sold as a Barred Rock....but it looks like a Cuckoo Maran to me? Am I right? Feet appear pink with grey splotches on the shanks. The pads on the bottoms of their feet do appear to have a yellowish tinge. They are from Ideal.
Thanks for your help and for looking!
I put this in games sections but it is more of a challenge. With X-Mas fast approaching I thought it would be interesting to 'focus' on buying from American Companies who use American Labor. This might be harder than you think...but how wonderful would it be to have a LIST of companies we all...
I wanted to poll folks who've had/kept chickens for 10 years or more on how long their birds have laid...
My EE's are working on 2 years now
Different breeds laying duration would be nice to know!!
Hi....
My daughter's 3rd grade teacher asked to borrow my incubator and hatching eggs for lessons in class next March. I was MORE than happy to let someone else worry and fuss!! (I'll still worry and fuss!!) My plan is to SELL the class's hard work at one of our chickenstocks here in NH...
We are about to have our annual Pumpkin Festival here in Keene, NH and my husband and I are struggling with what to dress up as. I think we are going to go as Secret Service agents...or Ginger and Gilligan...or Olive Oil and Popeye...still deciding!
What are you all going to go as??
Kids...
I have only been getting 1 egg a day out of 10 hens sadly and I'm going to have to resort to buying if things do not pick up soon. All my girls are molting....but it appears they are coming out of it.....because the nakedness is less and less everyday.
WELL....my sweet Cuckoo Maran roo is in...
MODERATORS BEWARE and WATCH this thread!! Being from New Hampshire a swing/battleground state we get to see all the political candidates up front and CLOSE....and YES for free (my Florida cousin thought you had to PAY to see a politician ) We get to 'touch' history literally here!

Is it worth the $$ and 4 hour drive?
Friend wants us to go with her daughter and she and I'm skeptical!! OR should we just detour and go to the Statue of Liberty instead?
I want to go to the latter and skip American Girl Doll Store...going to pitch it to her!
