    I made a really dumb decision...

    So I went to ChickenStock and I bought 4 Black Copper Marans and 1 Cemani. They were all less than two weeks old I believe. Well, outside I had chicks that were 8 weeks --too big and hens -- way too big. But in the brooder, I had 100 one week old freedom ranger black chicks. So, I decided...

    DIY Ideas to keep chickens from sitting on waterer?

    Other than buying a triangle cone for the top of the fount, does anybody have any DIY ideas for keeping chickens from sitting on top of the waterer? There is always a poop or two in the water from my chickens sitting on top of the fount ...drives me bonkers.

    Yesterday was the day...it went pretty well.

    We decided to give Bronze Breasted a try this year. It was so much fun. We had 10, they were very friendly, extremely curious and had such great personalities. When it came time to take them to the processor, I thought I would have a hard time. But, because I knew I was raising them for...

    When will they stop being afraid of me?

    Hi all! I'm new...as if you couldn't tell. I have 6 chicks, they will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. Everytime I reach into the brooder to change food/water or try to hold them, they freak out! They are extremely afraid of me. I talk sweet to them and try to handle them, but I don't want to...
