    funny looking egg

    one of the birds laid this egg, and the shape, the swirl pattern on the tip, and the wrinkles has me curious. is a funny looking egg like this one just something that sometimes happens, or is this an indication of something wrong with the bird? the shell is hard. is this egg safe to consume?

    Pickle's Bantam Thread

    Our two 11 hour old Silkies! I went out to candle the 6 eggs that the white Silkie had been sitting, and lo and behold one of them was pipping. This morning, I went to check on the eggs and once I got hen out of the way (she DID NOT want to move) I found a black AND a partridge chick staring...

    eating the first egg

    the phirst egg! I just couldn't put it off any longer. Some eggs were given away, some chucked into the woods because we didn't collect them for a week, and the rest started filling up the fridge. I had to eat one. Plus, the kids wanted to try one, too, but only after I had (how...

    phickle's pickle

    Well, in 6 days I've lost 3 birds. The first vanished without a trace. The second involved some blood, and a trail of feathers. The third had several blood spots, multiple feather piles, and something resembling a carcass. Thanks to the recent snow and ice, I also have raccoon tracks. I...

    A formal apology to BYC

    When I make a mistake, I own it. A recent post I made was offensive and unnecessary. For that, I am sorry. I let a lapse in good judgement impose on other's enjoyment of the forum. I apologize, and it will not happen again. Thanks for reading, Phickle.

    pics o' the pups

    A few pics of our dogs for the dog lovers out there. This is Cocoa, a Terrier of unknown breed. She was abandoned on the side of the road, and rescued by the owner of the local feed store (non-corporate, family owned) that we frequent, where they were being offered free to a good home...

    my goslings

    My two goslings. The left one meets all the criteria for an african goose, but the right one is unidentified. It is turning white, though, something that I thought was bald spots inside the house. They are a few weeks old, but are quickly getting very big very fast. They are the clumsiest...

    my two ducklings

    a group photo with our 2 ducklings. These were bought from the feed store as straight run, so they are both probably male, LOL. The right one is a white crested, we think, due to the puff on its head. They are enjoying some outside time in a makeshift run. There is a 250 watt heat lamp out...

    Hello from east Tx

    My name's Dave, and I live near Tyler, Texas. We are new to chickens, only having them about a year. We bought 2 New Hampshire Red chicks last spring (coop MK 1), as part of an ongoing experiment with self-sufficiency, only to lose 1 to the neighbors dog (coop MK 2). A month later the same...
