    What is BYC's policy on LGBT threads?

    There seems to be some confusion in the wake of current events, so I'd like to know what if any policies the forums have on family-friendly posts about people who are LGBT and their experiences, especially in relation to the rural/homesteading/self-sufficient/chicken-raisin. lifestyle.

    Little Peep, why won't you stop peeping?

    I've got a chick in my brooder I've taken to calling 'Little Peep', because he is half the size of my other same-age bantams and hardly stops making noise. It's not chattering peeping, but louder "Hey! Hey! Hey!" peeping. You know the kind. There is food and water, and I've seen him eating...

    You know what I needed? MORE CHICKS!

    And of course, I was hoping someone might have idea about breeds/sex on some of them! This is some kind of bantam. She's got a few dark spots on her back, some leg feathers, and her wing and shoulder feathers are coming in white/off white. I have two of these, they are almost identical...

    Guesses on my new chicks

    Some assorted feed store goodies! I was told this was an OEGB. And this is allegedly a Golden Laced Wyandotte pullet. This looks to be a standard sized chick, at least it's bigger than the other young bantams I got. Some feathering on the legs, a couple of black spots on the back. And...

    I was planning on getting chicks anyway, and then...

    I saw an ad on Craigslist-the nearest feed store is having a special! Buy 25 lbs of chick starter (which I will need anyway) and get 2 chicks free! Or 4 chicks free with 50 lbs of starter! I do not have a very large brooder, feed store. Knock it off.

    Any Californians in Rohnert Park or Arcata area?

    I'm going to be checking out colleges in both those areas next month, but I don't know much about the towns. Would love to see some ideas for what to see/where to eat, etc. Reply here, PMs, whatever you're comfortable with. Thanks!

    Help ease my heat lamp paranoia

    Last time I had chicks I just had a few, and I set them up in my bedroom in a fish tank with a heat lamp and it worked great. I have thirty-five chicks coming in March, and...I don't know where I'm putting them. Obviously people do it all the time, but I am terrified of leaving a heat lamp on...

    Buying chicks to resell?

    Has anyone done it? Is it worth the time and money? I was thinking of getting a little order (25-35 chicks) in assorted breeds. Maybe some rarer breeds, some Easter Eggers, probably all pullets, then reselling most of them at around 12 weeks old. My thought is people might like to get some...

    How To Make A Rabbit

    Someone on another forum asked that I do a post like this, and I was thinking I'd post it here as well. This is just how I do things, but I thought someone might find it interesting or useful. This first post was originally posted October 29th. I talked a bit about showing/breeding rabbits in...

    What makes a good Silver Spangled Hamburg?

    It's fair time here, and my boyfriend and I decided on a whim to enter two of our MyPetChicken pullets. We chose our two Silver Spangled Hamburgs and took them in last night, hoping for the best. My dad was over there today to feed the rabbits, and told me my girl won Reserve Large Fowl. I have...

    How do I enter these chickens?

    I'm showing poultry at the fair for the first time ever and I'm so very lost. My boyfriend and I are each showing one of our Silver Spangled Hamburg pullets. There's an entry classification for Any Other RCCL Breed and since they don't have a class number for SSH specifically, am I right in...

    Seven Falsehoods about Health Care

    I was going to post this to the last one, but it got closed. Factcheck.org is a reasonably well known, non-partisan website that does what it says: checks facts. Here are seven 'supposedly true' statements about the health care plan that aren't. I thought it might be helpful to some folks...

    Name that pullet!

    BYC members, meet Agnes. Agnes came out of an "assorted pullet" bin at TSC. At first I thought Agnes may have been a Jersey Giant, but then some odd feathers showed up. So...what is she? Is she in fact a she? I noticed a little iridescent green-ness on her back while I was taking pics today.

    What just happened to my duckling? Seizure?

    Background: Ping is a ~2 week old Pekin duckling I purchased from TSC with three other ducks. They are eating unmedicated chick starter and water, and have started going outside during the day. Okay, now here's what happened. I have the ducks inside at night, so I woke up to a squawk. Ping is...
