    WOW... Just cracked my first official rotten egg.

    Oh my.... Hot frying pan... dropped one lovely egg into the pan, grabbed egg # 2 and cracked it and thought I was going to die! SMELL..... It is still in my nose. Needless to say I lost my appetite.... I do keep my eggs out on counter, but i don't think this was old... Maybe it was a...

    Totally bare butted baby!

    Well, she is almost 2 now. Her backside (at the fuzzy butt area) is lacking all the fuzzy butt feathers. It is a pink glowing round featherless wonder. She is fine. Eats drinks is social I never see anyone pecking at her (I have about 16 birds int his coop) free ranges etc. Does she have...

    You gotta love the moderators for their work!!!! A+ Guys and gals.

    Ok... We all get worked up when we see a "help me" topic, and sometimes it is more Drama that substance, but I will give a big thumbs up to those in charge of closing the topic before WW3 starts. I couldn't be as reserved. In a different vein, I think the BYC store should find a source to...

    3 1/2 week old Cornish X with splayed leg. Hopeless?

    Just got my spring batch of layers and meaties. One of the Cornish X birds is having a heck of a time with its legs. Thinner, and being (obviously) trampled by the other gang I want to make it more comfortable no matter what the decision is. I am raising the layers & Meaties together in a...

    When do you usually "restock" your flock?

    My first full year has come and gone, and even though I still have laying going on I was wondering when is the time to replenish hens to keep the eggs coming and the birds young and healthy? I was thinking of starting up another batch from a hatchery and retiring my current ladies this fall...

    Ducks sleeping on roof no more.... :(

    Ok. I THOUGHT it was cute. All my neighbors smiled and pointed... 2 of my Muscovy ducks started spending the night on my roof a while back... Soon 2 more joined in and refused to go back into the coop... The two newer rebels didn't have the talents to fly up as high, so the bunch comprimised...

    Lost my first chicken today.

    Got a friendly call from my neighbor late today. He said one of my chickens was hanging around under his tree... He (she actually) was in fact, but torn up. No head, one side missing a wing. Featherless and some flesh gone from the sides, but not "eaten" as I would suspect a chicken loving...

    Hawk hanging over my run! ALL DAY!!!

    I heard a huge commotion for about 1/2 hour... sounded like egg laying screams but they went on and on... Went out to see what the deal was and the girls were all huddled under a bush that is in their run still screaming... Then all of a sudden I see a hawk fly off the top of the run and perch...

    Ducks now sleeping on my roof.

    I bought 10 Muscovies late in the summer, and they folded in nicely with my chickens... UNTIL... last week 2 of them decided to spend the night on top of our wooden clothesline. Now they have decided, and can fly to, that they like the peak of my roof. Obviously these two are rebels, but what...
