    roosting

    Even though I thought I could figure this one out...... I can't. Just a short history, I had 4 hens in my coop, and here in the last couple months I brought 11 of the chicks I had raised over the winter out to the coop also. They are all together now but some if not all the dog gone new girls...

    I think I did this but just incase.

    Hi! I am in northern Ohio. Southern Lorain County. I have been a member of the group for probably 5 to 7 years but drifted away for awhile when I sold my hens a few years ago. I was done with it. I think the last bunch I sold, I sold 60 of them for $60. I was just done. Years ago I started...

    Pasty butt

    So I have raised right around 70 + day old chicks over the years and got away from raising chicken for a few years, because it consumed to much of my play time. I just recently started back up. Last spring I incubated several eggs and ended up with 4 hens laying very good right now. Eggs are...

    I should have taken a picture

    I went down to Meyer's today to get first aid need that I hope I don't need and some feed. The chicks they don't sell for the Monday, Tuesday orders go into a brooder and are for sale for $2. each. Trouble is they have a policy that once the chick goes into their brooder they are not to tell...

    Proud of my dog

    2 summers ago my son brought over 5 chickens. My dog never had seen a chicken before and really if it didn't fly like the wind or run like a Cheetah it was not on his property. Well needless to say he got up early the next day and welcomed them. Somehow they got out of their temporary cage and...

    First egg today!!!

    YEA!!! One of my girls that were born 6-20-2015 laid her first egg today 10-5-2015!! My Barred Rock are the largest of the girls followed by the Black Australorps.
