    Anyone sell chicks?

    We are thinking about hatching mix breed chicks that will carry the lavender gene. Daddy is a lavender Orpington. Their mom's will be Polish, Barr Rock, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island, Australorp, silver laced Wyandotte and Bramha. We would raise them to 4-9 weeks old and sell them. Have any of you...

    Ahhhh ripped off the Band-Aid and put them in the coop overnight

    I put my little peepers in their coop this evening. They have spent the last week hanging out in their run during the day and having free access to the coop but spent the evenings in the brooder. I put a small flashlight in there with them and put a small water and feed dispenser in there with...

    I am crushed

    Our spunky, playful and adorable mama's boy rat terrier had to be put down last night. He went from spunky and playful to lethargic and no quality of life over night. By the time we got to the vet his temperature was low and his body was shutting down. We took him to the Animal ER and found out...

    Chicks and Rain

    I think my Silver Laced Wyandotte is a cockeral

    Uh Oh I think our Silver Laced Wyandotte that is 2-3 weeks old is a cockerel. I noticed yesterday that most of the chicks are beginning to get the start of their combs. We supposedly got all pullets at Rural King. On most of them their beak point up to their ridges looks almost diamond shape. I...

    Help with chicken coop and run

    This weekend, we plan on gathering the supplies for our coop and run. We were wondering if this sounds secure. Keep in mind we live in the country by a river and have tons of predators. We are going to start with a 10x10 dog kennel. We are going to run hardware wire on the ground below the...

    We lost our runt

    We lost our little runt. :( She was a Lavender Orpington. She was super sweet but has not grown at all since we got her and seemed to just get weaker and weaker. We tried to bring her back to health. We think she had a birth defect of some kind. On the bright side we still have 11 happy and...
