I went to get some feed and to pick up some of the Speckled Sussex chicks they had in and I ended up next to the "just put out" bantams. Well, I am not a bantam person, but I did notice 2 Silkie chicks in the bunch. My DDs are going to love them!! The TSC ladies were very helpful. The one assoc...
I have 4 LF Buff Brahma chicks and several Buff Roo/EE mix chicks (hatched out blue eggs/should lay green eggs) for sale. I'm asking $4 for each. Pick up only.
I have 2 new fuzzy butts in the bator with 3 more pipping!
My DH made me a bator out of an old cooler--Bless him. I set 14 eggs with 3 tossed that were clear. I added more eggs--hate to see empty spots in the egg cartons. Well, last night I came home from work and 2 had pipped. Just after...
My EE, Blossom laid her 1st egg today. Went outside to collect my usual 2. Pebbles (lays a light green egg) was sitting on eggs in her bottom box and Blossom was in the top nesting box. So, I waited and she finally went out of the coop to eat. There was this egg! Now, if I could get her BFF to...
I might have a chance to buy some Russian Orloffs and I need to know how to choose the best looking ones. I am still new to raising chickens and I have fallen for this breed and the Sussex.
Thanks for any help!

Okay---this might sound crazy, but, yesterday, I did sit outside my coop and wait until I got an egg. I knew about what time they were laying, just didn't know who was laying what. Does this sound normal.
Well, I thought my 2 EE hens were laying the olive and light green eggs. NOT! It was 2...
I just found my 1st egg yesterday. It's a dark green. I was hoping for blue from my EE hen.
Thanks for letting me share. Can't post a pic until I find batteries for the camera!
Got the batteries from DD and I tried. You get the idea! I went out to the coop today and found another olive and a...
Has anyone used these or make their own??? One of the hatchery catalogs has them. They contain DE. I thought I might get these for my gang during the winter--while they are free ranging.
Well, our newest peeps arrived today.
We ordered 6 buff brahmas and 5 golden laced wyandottes. One of the brahmas didn't make it. One of our GLW pullets has a bad eye. It bulges and it is lower then the left eye. My youngest DD has decided to be her nurse and give her lots of TLC. We...
Okay--there are a couple of post about incubators and it's not helping me control my need to purchase more chicks.
My question--how many folks get a good hatch rate from shipped eggs?? I plan to purchase some for a project for DD and just wanted to know everyones opinions.
Angie--who is...
I just ordered some Buff Brahmas from Ideal. Dh just bought me some EE's on Sunday. Oh, I ordered some Wyandotts---think it was golden laced or somethin'---everything is just a haze now.
IS there a 12 step program for this addiction? I think I am developing ADD, so I might only be able to...
Just wondering if anyone else has read the one of the hatcheries
will not ship to VA because of the bloodwork the state requires? HAs anyone shipped chicks or eggs to VA with any problems?

I thought it would be fun to find out how everyone here got into raising chickens? Was it a run in with chicks at the feed store? Did you get your chicks from a school project? I am sure some of you all have a funny story about your chicken beginnings!!!

My DH surprised us yesterday with new chicks! He saw them posted on Criag's list. They are supposed to be Ameraucana chicks---but, we'll have to wait and see.
I was hoping to get some eggs for my DD to hatch out, but we have our hands full with these lil' fuzzy butts!!
Here's my...
My 9 year old DD has fallen in love with chickens. We got 6 chicks from a friend a few weeks ago and she just loves them. I would like to buy some colored eggs (blue/ green) for us to incubate. I think she would really enjoy the exprience and the chicks. Please email me!

My 9 year old DD has fallen hard for chickens.: So, I thought it would be fun for us to hatch out some colored eggs. Looking for blues and pinks. Email me!

I need help too! Okay--got 6 chicks from a friend who lets the kindergarten classes hatch eggs for her. My youngest daughter thought it would be great to have chickens again. Not sure of the breeds or who's a roo or hen. So, any help would be appreciated. They are about about 6 or 7...
