    Things that make you go, "hmmmm?"

    Well, I'd resigned myself. Ms Gypsy at 13 months stopped laying (end of last June). Nothing wrong with her. Couldn't find any evidence of eggs being eaten or hidden. She's an EE and had been my last hen to lay but most consistent 5-6 eggs / week. I had switched to a different brand of layer...

    Rooster showed up with wild turkey hen flock, now what do I do?

    Hi All, Sunday morning the local gaggle of turkey gals showed up with a little Roo trailing along. He's a golden laced wyandotte, seems young. Not seeing spurs even. No visible signs of any illness. As soon as he saw my girls coming down the walkway from their coop he made a bee-line and has...

    Hi All, My little flock consists of 2 buff orps, 17weeks old, and three other chickens, 16 weeks. One is an Easter Egger. One is a Black Copper Maran. What the heck is this one? She (I hope it's a she) looked exactly like the BCM as a wee chick, but is now a bit larger, has far less copper on...

    Adventures with Chicken Coop building

    This almost made me give up my flock. Seriously. Why did I buy chickens before building a coop? Don't answer that question ... rookie mistake. I know better now. Anyway, my incredibly awesome neighbor is helping me with this project. Thought I'd capture it all here as it unfolds. Started with...

    Jailbreak

    Went to tuck the ladies in last night, after a VERY long day of working from home - 10 hours in front of a laptop and numerous calls from bossman. THEY ESCAPED! Free ranging through the downstairs bath. The mess was ASTOUNDING. They loudly proclaimed their innocence (I called BS on that...

    The Peaceful Pines Peeps

    Please please please tell me they are all girls - I was assured they were when I bought them. But I was also assured that one was an ameraucana, and that only one was a Black Copper Maran, despite my thinking that they looked too much alike, and now the other one has feathers coming on its legs...
