I have several chickens for sale (or free, depending). I'm willing to travel up to an hour away to get them to a new home (especially the cockerels) and I'm based in Memphis, TN, so if you're in Arkansas or Mississippi we can probably work something out. I'm hoping to add pictures later...

So I've tried to find the answer to this question independently, but I can't find a straight answer. If you want to raise waterfowl for both eggs and meat, and don't really have the space to separate the ones you're keeping for each purpose, are you gonna have a bad time come processing day? I...

I saw GoGo Boots, my White Cochin who's currently brooding some Crevecouers for me, have a high old time bathing and the chicks got in on it too! So I decided to take a few videos of them. Enjoy! I might take more in the future, I don't know. Please excuse the camera moving a few times, I didn't...

A little bit ago I set up a thread about continuing a project to create a resource that people could use to help them sex/learn to sex their birds. There was a fair amount of support in the poll so I've decided to move forward in trying to get this thing set up. (Link to that thread here)...

Hey fancy feather fanciers, I recently acquired some Mottled Houdans who have reached 6 weeks of age. I should have known that I was in trouble when I heard the tiny, shrill crow coming from their brooder when they were 3 weeks old, but I'm not terribly familiar with the breed so I thought I...

Hey everrbody! I'm sure those of you that frequent this forum ("What Breed Or Gender is This?") have noticed that stickied thread, Chick Sexing Project, started by @Direchicken, who seems to be inactive. I finally made my way through it and found that it has kinda...fallen apart. What was meant...

Happy Friday-almost-Saturday-and-actually-already-Saturday-for-some-folks! Yesterday I had an order of 25 adorable little Silkies to pick up at Cackle Hatchery, in Lebanon, MO. That doesn't sound all that adventure worthy I'm sure, except for the fact that I live in Memphis, TN. If you pull...

Hey BYCers (and random people from the internet who wandered in)! Last year, I did a project to try to determine the sex of Silkies with greater than 50-50 success before 9 weeks of age using growth rate. The results were mixed, I believe in part because I didn't exclude chicks that arrived...

Good morning BYC fam! I have something I thought I might run by y'all in case I'm missing something. I have a lovely White Cochin named GoGo Boots, sweet as she could be. When GoGo was a few days old, she got real sick, but I was able to nurse her back to health with egg and...

So I bought some eggs off of eBay a little while back cause I wanted to try a couple of breeds inexpensively. Those breeds being Bresse and Ameraucana; the first because I hear they're tasty and I'm on a quest to find the tastiest chicken and the latter because I've only had Easter Eggers before...

Honestly this is just for fun--I'm already pretty sure what's what but I'm gonna post these babies anyways because @Overo Mare needs more Cochin pics in her life! So these are some babies that my broody Cochin got to 20 days, then I panicked and tried to move her to a safer area and she didn't...

I'm cross posting this--I already posted in the Tennessee thread, I'm just trying to give this guy as good a chance as I can. I'm looking to rehome a Silver Laced Wyandotte cockerel, so if anyone in West Tennessee, North Mississippi, or Southeast Arkansas is in need or want of one, let me know...

Y'all can just call me Gina though. I grew up having chickens, for as long as I can remember. When I left home, it was a while before I could have them again, since I didn't live in the country anymore. I found out recently that my city allows them, so I built a coop and got me some chickens...
