I decided to incubate a few eggs and see what happens. I have one rooster and he is a Lavender Orpington named Lavender Lonnie! 😁
I incubated 9 eggs. 3 of them came from my Cookies-n-Cream. I’m really excited to see what they look like. I also did 2 Oliver Eggers, 1 EE, 1 blue andalusian, and...
Just wanted to reintroduced myself! I’ve been a member for a while, but haven’t been active in a few years. My husband and I quit our corporate jobs in Alabama and moved back home to our farm in Kentucky to live a simpler life.
We have slowly been moving into our farmhouse we built. We have...
This past November we had a family emergency and were out of town for almost 2 weeks. One of my son's friends was taking care of our chickens. He did a great job--kept them feed and watered, BUT forgot to collect eggs...

So my BLRW went broody and and now I have 3 baby chicks that are 6-7 weeks old. She was not just laying on her eggs so I am not sure of anything. All I know for sure if that Jed (blue marans) is the daddy. Hens I have are RIR, Black Marans and BLRW. Here are the 3 beautiful chicks I got...
Hey yall! I joined the form about a year ago and love to get on here and check out pictures, ask questions and just see what is going on. I tend not to reply much because I am new and learning and don't want to give the wrong advice. I will say this past year of raising chickens has been so...
I have 4 Australorp's that were 9 weeks old on Saturday. Three of them look about the same and I am thinking hen's. I have one that's comb is more red and it has brown feathers in the neck. Anyone care to give a guess on what these guys are???

Little Timmy went broody about 3 weeks ago. She has 6 eggs that should hatch this weekend. She went broody right as my eggs in the incubator were hatching. So I put her in the little tractor and add the 3 week old chicks and she has taken over being their mamma as she sits on her eggs. Its...
I got baby chicks in May of 2015 and around Halloween my RIR starting laying eggs. Not long after that my EE and Wyandotte started laying. I have an Ancona and a Black Marans that have yet to start laying and wondering what is going on. A friend told me that because they would of started...

My son picked this chick out the day we got them and started calling it Jed. I am hoping it becomes Jeddy or Jedette! :)
She is 10 weeks old and so sweet and friendly.
This is on May 16 the day we got her. She was about a week old.
Okay so my chickens are 8-10 weeks old and so far have only had Purina Start and Grow medicated. Just this week I started giving them some Party Mix Happy Hen Treats and they love it! I noticed the chicken starter says feed until 16-18 weeks old---so what is next? Crumbles, Pellets, Scratch...
I have a blue laced red wyandotte that is not doing good and I am not sure what to do for her. I got 12 chicks (7-9 days old) on May 16th and this little chick just doesn't seem to be growing like the others. She is practically the same size. We noticed yesterday she is moving less and less...
Hey! My name is Kelly and I am new to owning and raising chickens! We got 12 chicks on May 16. I am loving every minute of it, but know I have a LOT to learn.
