So... I didn't mean to but as I walked into TS they were there and I couldn't help myself. I've become addicted to chickens. Here are my new chicks. I bought six, a pair of each. Any idea what they could be? I know they are all pullets. I'm hoping the buff colored ones are Orpingtons...
Hi all,
I have a small problem and I could really use your help. One of my hens has gone broody (right term?) but I didn't know it. My husband and I have been terribly busy for the last couple of weeks and haven't been playing with our egg laying hens as much. We noticed that one of them...
Hi all,
Well the mosquitoes are back and in full force after a couple of days of torential downpours. My question is this, can I spray my yard with something like Cutter's Mosquito spray if I have free ranging chickens and goslings? I don't want to poison my flock *obviously* but the mosies...
Hi all,
I posted last week about loosing my TRG. I'm still looking for one. Anyone in or around Houston seen or have any for sale? I would even consider trying to hatch eggs.

How other than intimacy is a friendship different from a romantic relationship?
My husband and I have noticed that while talking to several of our single friends that...
We came home last night and found our little Tufted Roman gosling (Beaker) dead. He was our favorite, an absolute sweetheart. My husband is sick with grief. I've called all over looking for another TR gosling this morning but no one has one let alone any geese at all. He was a rare find (for...

I'm hoping the photo uploads correctly. If so, this is my new baby Frizzle. I'm concerned that he/she isn't feathering out like my other frizzle. I thought they were the same age. They are the same size but the white one is almost completely feathered. Could I be wrong about the age? Any...
Hello everyone,
I'm Katrina. My husband and I got our first two pairs of chickens a month ago. We thought it would be a nice hobby for us. You know, a couple of fresh eggs a week, maybe eventually try meat birds. Well.. flash forward to the present, we now have 15 chickens (3 adult hens, 2...
I just lost one of my pairs of chickens about 10 minutes ago. My rooster "Frick" and hen "Cassie" were very sweet. I'm so heartbroken. I heard some of my dogs barking in the front yard and after putting them back in the back yard, I went to check on the chickens. My daschund was in their pen...
Today, my husband and I went to the Arcola Trade Day event to look for two new hens. We are new to raising chickens and only just got our first two pairs a few weeks ago. WE LOVE THEM!! and are ready to add new hens to our flock. Anyway, while wandering around talking to the vendors about their...
