    WV Swaps/Shows

    There are so few shows around our state I thought it might be helpful for everyone to post any they know about here. Also any farm swaps and the like :)

    Mini Rant

    Forgive me, but I couldn't help but have the thought that people who consider and call themselves chicken experts really ought to sound like it on a public broadcast! Case in point: I really think I'm going to delete the Chicken Whisperer feed from my podcatcher. I was listening yesterday when...

    Black Australorp Sexing Help Please...

    I have two that I bough as pullets. They are 12 weeks old in these pictures. One I'm now pretty well convinced is a cockerel. The behavior, comb and what appears to be hackle feathers. The other began worrying me when its comb and wattles grew larger, but they are not as dark and appear...

    Constructing our First Coop

    My DH has caught the bug! Even before finishing this, he's talking about extending the run :) *I love it! Question : there will be exposed rafters in the ceiling. We'll be putting 1x1 welded wire to keep critters out up there. Would the gap in the front and back at the roof be adequate...

    So, I'll officially say HI :)

    I didn't post an intro before, because I found topics right away that I was interested in and starting chiming in. My name is Beth and I live in WV with my husband, 4-year-old son and our pets (2 dogs, 4 cats and an aquarium). We're adding chickens in a few days, as soon as our coop is ready...
