    They Aren’t Egg Pez Dispensers!

    Chickens are living creatures with relatively complex reproductive systems, not Egg Pez Dispensers. From time to time we’re going to get an egg that totally perplexes us. 99% of the time it’s just a glitch. Most of us grew up on store bought eggs. We open the carton and there they are - all a...

    The Diet Doth Confuseth Me! (Renal Diet Thread)

    So here's the backstory. On January 31 I finally got name to put to the way I've been feeling. The enemy has a name, and it's name is Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease. Okay, an enemy with an identity is one I can fight. I haven't yet had a meeting with a dietitian. My next nephrology...

    Heart vs Mind - Buying Unhealthy Chicks

    Warning: Another long post! If it seems familiar to a few of you, that’s because I also posted this on Facebook’s BYC site. It’s chick season again, and this year I’ll be joining those of you who are prepping, drooling over photos, and building your brooders and set-ups. What I’m going to say...

    What's Going on with Blooie?

    I'm doing something I don't normally do - copy and pasting from Facebook. I just don't really feel like typing it all over again, and it says pretty much everything I'd say anyway. Will I leave BYC? I doubt it, but after becoming a new chicken-non-owner I'm not sure I'm in a position to be...

    Investigating Links To Old Paginated Threads Aren't Redirecting Correctly

    Are you talking about the old numbers or the new numbers? I mean, I sneaked in my edit on the Mama Heating Pad thread to put in a link to the most updated way it's set up now, and a friend tested it. Reported back that the link I'd put in that edit, and had been using to put that page into...

    Blooie's Blankie Fort

    Guess I should explain. Not long ago My Pet Chickens held a contest, with the winner to be drawn at random, to win a dozen hatching eggs. They also offered a 10% discount to folks who ordered at that time. So I entered, even knowing I wouldn't win (on accounta the last thing I won was hubby's...

    I Have a Post-Molt Color Changing Issue with an EE

    This is probably in the wrong place. But it doesn't fit the "Emergency" category because it's not a sickness, injury or emergency. It's just a puzzlement! We have an EE named Gladys. Oh, she's a beauty - all golden red colored and the prettiest chicken in the flock - until this last molt...

    Blooie's Totally Rockin' Deviled Eggs

    So I was going to post this in the recipe contest, but I just knew they were so doggone awesome they'd blow the competition out of the water, so I thought I'd share my recipe here. BYC has been incredibly valuable for hints and tips on how to successfully hard cook eggs and I thank you one and...

    Windows 10 issues while on BYC

    I wasn't sure where to put this so I stuck it here. Mods, if it should go somewhere else would you be so kind as to move it for me, or tell me where you'd prefer it go? Thanks. A lot of us are upgrading or buying new computers with Windows 10 on it. I'm one of them. Brand spanking new...

    Stopid question # 8

    So I ain't the brightest crayon in the box....but I was wondering if there is a home candling setup almost as powerful as the commercial ones. I'd like to be able to tell if there are meat spots in the eggs before I package them up. I hate opening eggs and seeing them, and some of my customers...

    LMEPaints I Know You're Out There

    I saw that you joined last night and am excited that you did. Takes awhile to learn to navigate the site but it's a breeze when you do. So my BYC friends, if you see the name LMEPaints popping up, please say hi to my brother and sister!

    Grrrrrr

    Trying to scroll down through the new posts on the home page is so frustrating I'm giving up for this morning. What's with all those posts written out in characters? I'm not about to click on one of them to see!

    Is Blooie One Chicken Shy of a Flock?

    Okay, here's the deal. I read over and over again about chickens sitting on laps, coming when they are called, snuggling down for a little TV time with their owners, riding around on shoulders - and mine don't do any of that. Matter of fact, I don't want them to do those things. Am I nuts...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    I've talked about this before on other threads. I'd like to say it was my own brilliant idea, but actually I saw a video made by a woman who broods her chicks outdoors using a heating pad "cave" and straw. The idea intrigued me, and I so wish I could give proper credit. Alas, I can't find the...

    Shipton's Big R Chicks, Billings

    I'm not big on plugs for individual stores but I had to share this. I knew that the Shipton's Big R store in Billings, Mt. was getting in their chicks on March 1. We got there about 9 in the morning but they weren't in yet. So we wandered around town, checking back from time to time - Ken and...

    Raising Chickens and Special Needs Kids

    I talk so much on other threads about my granddaughters, sisters Katie and Kendra, and have had such positive interaction with other people that I thought I'd move it over to here. It's way too easy to hijack a thread talking about our amazing little people and I'm guiltier than most - I think...

    I Have a Feeling I Know the Answer to My Question

    But I thought I'd post here and find out for sure. These Red Stars (or whatever pseudonym they go by ) are close to 6 weeks old. Same hatch, same batch, same age, but I have a sneaking suspicion that one of them is pulling a fast one on me. What do you all think? One cockerel and one pullet?
