Hey everyone. We have a RIR hen that has started mounting/trying to mate with my cochin. (I know she's a hen since we have 8 hens and were getting 8 eggs a day in the fall. The RIR was one of our first layers.) We went out of town for a couple weeks, and when we got back the cochin had a bald...
Hey all!
I just wanted to start a thread for those of us who are happy homebirthers. I thought it would be fun to just share a little about our births and tell some birth stories! Also, those who are considering homebirth can share future birth plans, hopes and/or dreams and ask questions...
Ok, so I know people have posted stuff like this before... and mine probably isn't AS big as others... BUT.... I had to say something...
My California White layed me this MOTHER of an egg a couple weeks ago. The carton wouldn't even close all the way, it was so big.
I couldn't wait to see...
Hey all,
I've been wishing that we could free-range our chickens, but unfortunately we have a fairly small backyard, and a 6-foot fence that some of the chickens could surely fly over. I wouldn't worry so much about them flying over the north fence, but if they flew over the south fence, they'd...
Hey everyone. I've been interested in framing my cabinet doors. I heard there was an episode on hgtv or somewhere on how to do this by using 1 x 2's or something, and then painting them. Does anyone know where I might find this episode or instructions? Has anyone here done this themselves?
Thanks!
Hey everyone.. I got this pretty girl from the feed store and she was labeled as an Aracauna. I looked at my receipt later and it said "Americauna". So I was wondering which she is? Or if she's really neither?
Thanks!
Ok, I just wanted to brag about my sweet California White (who just started laying, and has only skipped one day in a week and a half! And just for reference, she's about 21 weeks old now.) She's got one SWEET comb! What do ya'll think?
**Update pg. 4**
What do ya'll think? Is my Rhode Island Red a roo or a hen? I'm thinking it's a male from what I've been reading, but I'm hoping not. This has been the sweetest of all my chickens. He/she always comes up to me and just has a sweet temperment. And we can't have roosters where I...
Hi everyone. This is my first post here! I have a rooster that's around 13 weeks old, and he's just started crowing. Something he's started doing just this week is, when I go into the run.. if I squat down to talk to the chickens (we have 8 hens), he comes over to me and does this sideways...
