Hatched 1st week of April. Beautiful birds! We have 3 boys available. We would be willing to trade for Silkie Hen/Hens. We would be willing to deliver within a reasonable distance.
More pictures are available upon request.
I think that they should make this an official "disorder" for all of us chicken folk!
I came down with a strong case of "chicken crazy" today when my DW and I visited the local feed store for a few supplies. As we walked in we were greeted with the music of hundreds of baby chick peeps! I have...
As many of you here know my house bunny passed away earlier this year. My wife and I were planning on getting a Flemish Giant but we ended up going to a chicken swap today and we all fell in love with these cute little sisters and decided to keep them together and buy them both. They both enjoy...
This is a test of the gag me with a spoon system - if it were a real auction it would be worth it's price in gold (see I'm bald and need all the warmth I can get!)
Here is a picture that my daughter took tonight of my Dark Cornish Bantams (Chip - hen in my lap & Dale - Rooster on my shoulder) pretending that they were pirate parrots! I think its great that they love human interaction.
I guess the sun isn't really evil it is more my lack of common sense! I took my family to the ocean yesterday and when we got there is was overcast. Once the sun came out we all put on a layer of sunscreen and went about frollicking in the surf. The water was refreshing and the cool breeze off...
I was cleaning out the coops today and my 15 week old red sexlinks and my golden comet roo (hatched on April 7th) decided to take over the coop my older girls are in! I took a couple of pictures and then I realized what was going on - this is what I found!
Finally, I have had a couple of days without rain! I pre-fabricated the floor, the front wall, and the back wall in my garage during the past week. The floor is 16"OC and the walls are 24"OC. I found a nice reminate of vinyl flooring that looks like wood flooring that I glued down on the floor...
Have you ever been trapped in an elevator?
I was stuck in an elevator in Boston, MA this week for over an hour - it wasn't too bad as I knew 3 of the people in there but all my joking around really freaked out the stranger stuck in the car with us! Yes - I apoligized once I realized that he...
Well, I have finally determined that my bantams are Dark Cornish and they are very friendly. The pullet follows me around like I a duckling follows its mommy!
The best part is my son (who being a young boy likes to move around a lot) has developed a great relationship with them and they run to...
I have the flu after working in several local hospitals last week (Friday I was stuck working in the infectious disease ward ) Well I decided to keep my laptop next to the bed all day and I just realized that I moved up to "Chillin' with my Peeps"
I wonder if I will obtain the next level...
I can't believe how quickly my baby girl is growing up - Today was her first day of employment at a local sheep farm. It seems like just yesterday I was driving her and Momma home from the hospital for the first time! She was very excited to be working with animals - they have sheep, herding...
I just am amazed at the kindness shown here on BYC. Over the past few days I have read post after post where members offered to replace another members birds or eggs with some of their own after sickness, predator attacks etc...
I have belonged to several different social groups and local...
I want to start by thanking everyone who has shared their experiences and offered advise on these forums. I have been a regular visitor to the site over the past 2 years and have finally taken the time to join in on the discussions. Thank you and I look forward to conversing with everyone and...
