Okay I have been reading about how people say BYC loads really slow because of all the ads, well it was also a problem for me too and it made it hard to do anything on this site.
Well I just downloaded the Opera Browser and I gotta tell you I am flying through the BYC site now! The ads load...
This is my EE Mable. She is my friendliest chicken. She looks like she is giving me major stink eye but she always looks like that.
Hope you enjoy the pics!
Just noticed this today. I put them to bed every night and I am with them often, and can't believe I haven't noticed this sooner. Is it time to get her into a warm bath or is this something else? She is eating and drinking normally. She just started molting and 3 of my others are just...
Well I have 6 chickens. I have been getting 2 to 5 eggs a day. One of my RIR has been taking forever to lay after a molt and my younger pullets started laying when she was molting. So I finally got 6 eggs in the nest box! I am so happy they are all finally laying.
Here's a couple pictures...

Here are some pics of my girls right after we had a big snow. My girls don't like the snow at all, but I think since it was in the 40's and melting they thought it was "okay" to be in it....
Hope you enjoy....
Two of my girls wouldn't come...
Hi all;
Last December 2009 I went to Thailand and Cambodia. There are usually chickens everywhere when you get to the more Village areas. It is very warm at that time (85 - 90 degrees) it is like their spring. So I got to see Chicken Mommas with there babies and a whole bunch more! They were...

Hi
I will try to make this short but informative cause I need to get back to my hen.
Okay so I have 4 hens (actually now 3 my favorite Big Momma died two days ago from unknown causes, I found her dead on the floor in the morning) I also one month ago got 2 barred rock chicks.
I have had the...
Hi all,
Today is a very sad day. I got up this morning and went to go let my 4 ladies out. Mable my EE came out first (which isn't normal she is usually last) next came my GC Porkus, then my RIR Red, but my RIR Big Momma didn't come out. I ran around the coop thinking she must already be in...
Hi all,
Here are two BR (Barred Rock) chicks I am having trouble figuring out if they are boys or girls! The larger chick is Laverne and she/he is 5-6 weeks old. Her mother might be a SLW, but l am not sure. The Smaller chick is Shirley. Shirley is 4-5 weeks old, and l am thinking boy...
This doesn't happen all the time but every once in awhile we will be making poched eggs and when we crack them into the boiling water there is this extra white substance that floats around the water. It's not the normal white from the egg but something extra. I am not sure whos egg it is...
Hi all. I have two 3-4 week old baby barred rocks. I got them from a breeder who is more than willing to exchange them for a pullet if they are roos. Anyway, I have taken lots of pics but they aren't really good enough to tell the gender. So one of the BR's is already showing pink in the...
Hi All,
Here are some pictures I took for Easter Cards of my new baby BR's. They are nine days old. I am still not sure of the gender (if anyone knows feel free to leave your remarks!) but I have named them Sunny and Cher. They are so cute and were fun to take pictures of. I have four...
Hi...
Yesterday I was working in the yard. My 4 chicken ladies were with me pecking around. Anyway I stopped to sit on our front stairs to take a break. In front of my stairs we have a small concrete pad, and a huge round ceramic flower pot (it is kinda like a chicken waterer with the base...
Hi Everyone....
So I have a RIR named BIG MAMA and she had just finished a molt about 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen an egg from her in forever it seems, anyway this morning I got and egg from my favorite lady. Her egg was so beautiful, it is a really really light shade of brown almost pink and...
Hi all,
The day before yesterday I noticed my Golden Campine hen Porkus's crop was blown up like a balloon. My first reaction was that is was an Impacted Crop. I did a lot of research on the internet for impacted crop and sour crop. Yesterday morning I had brought her into the house in a...
Well yesterday was a very good day for me. My Golden Campine Porkus finally laid her first egg! I have been waiting forever. Right before the weather really changed she had started molting and thought for sure it wouldn't be until next spring that she gave me an egg but I was wrong...
