    chickens and kittens

    I have a slight problem that has more to do with the behavior cats than chickens, and I'm curious if this is common. We have a population of barn cats and so far this spring three litters of kittens have been born. All three of the mother cats have birthed their kittens in nesting boxes that...

    Do you think these are chickens?

    I wish the chickens could be convinced to start a small fire in a bucket and allow me to photograph them brewing coffee and cooking oatmeal over an open flame... yep... that is my one true wish, to watch chickens preparing food.

    Fowl Pox

    This guy did get into a scuffle with another rooster just short of a week ago, and I have heard that injuries to the comb can sometimes look like this. He hasn't been behaving differently, continues to eat, maintains a healthy posture, no lesions in the mouth or throat, nor have I observed...

    Collecting oyster mushrooms

    I saw a few deliciously edible oysters mushrooms growing on a willow tree the other day. The tree was on private land in an area where I didn't feel comfortable hopping the fence, so rather than taking a risk I headed out by boat to a river bottom rich in willows to see if the flush was more...

    Sumatra resource

    I'm curious if anyone knows of a relatively comprehensive online source of information about sumatrans. I bought six birds from someone on craigslist about two months ago, they were supposed to be sumatrans, two turned out to be cochins (the birds were young and seller told me this might be the...

    Doomsday will be Tungsten **PIC HEAVY!!**

    I had a weird setting going on with my camera in this first shot. The cool tone makes me think this hen is destined to squawk at a dieing man on the eve of the apocalypse.... yeah, I'm not usually so psychic.... As you scroll down you will see she is giving the Evil Eye more than once. Anyway...

    postponed coop project

    [Mod: Sorry, I intended to place this in the family stories forum but clicked the wrong one.] I guess converting the tree house into a coop will be delayed. This was an interesting end to Valentine's day -- you know what they say about Saturday the 14th -- it will get you every time. Word to...

    Are Vulture eggs any good?

    Gallus gallus or Cathartes aura; you be the judge. I wonder if the works department would be able to hook me up with some free road kill.... hmmm. Maybe they are chickens after all.

    Door latch

    I posted this in the Coop and Run Design section before realizing the question should be here. So, what do you think chicken experts, is the latching mechanism pictured below likely to provide adequate protection from predators? I'm new at this and really would hate to lose any birds.

    Howdy

    Hey there everyone, I'm new to this site and just getting started in chickeneering, in fact, I'm still very much in the dark on the subject. Backyardchickens.com looks fantastic and I have this sinking feeling that it might end up being added to my long list of vices, nevertheless, what a...
