    Chicken Babysitter?

    After working from a home office for six years, I'm in the process of accepting a new job. I know my kids are well-situated and will be fine, and because of our very isolated location I'm looking forward to the social aspects of office life. What I'm most worried about is how my backyard flock...

    Any Bantam Cochin Experts Out There?

    I am completely smitten with a splash Cochin bantam I picked up at the Fresno show a little over a week ago & would like to pick out a few more excellent quality hens & a good roo & set up a new bantam Cochin pen. She just layed her first egg yesterday. The breeder I bought her from gave a long...

    Kudos to Ideal

    My order isn't here yet, but it'll be on its way tomorrow. What impressed me is that they called last night just to confirm the contents of the order & make sure everything was as I'd intended. I missed the call, but easily hooked up with another helpful Ideal employee today. I'm excited to see...

    Opinions RE: Silkie Seramas

    Peeping to Pipping Question

    First Time Incubating, Down to 2 Eggs

    I'm down to 2 eggs out of about 10 - well, there were even more originally, but several of them broke on the way. The seller warned me that broken eggs were a bad sign for hatchability, since the eggs endured a rough trip. Unfortunately, they also arrived during what was a heat wave for us, so...

    Ideal & Roosters (Southern Chick) - Help Needed ASAP

    Southern Chick, You mentioned that Ideal will automatically send a bunch of roosters if you order less than 20 or so chicks. Has that been everyone else's experience too? If yes, I'm going to need to cancel my order, which was carefully handpicked & due to arrive next week. I spoke at length to...

    Chicks Arrived & Advice Re: Buying MORE!

    My experience with MyPetChicken.com has been flawless. 5 chicks are here today, all pullets - 1 campine, 2 domingues, 1 golden phoenix, and 1 Rhode Island Red. I'm guessing they're all pullets, anyway, but one of the Domingues' is a freebie, so who knows.... At the moment, the Rhode Island Red...

    http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11199000&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US I've been trying to figure out a way to quickly and easily assemble reasonably spacious housing for 4 hens. My thought was to start with this and then add to the inside one of the smaller coops like...
