Hi! I am looking to purchase a pair of Millies :) I am in the cincinnati area, but willing to pay shipping. Thanks.

A have a sebright who seems pretty serious about being broody, so I am thinking about giving her some eggs. But I am not sure the best way to go about housing her? i am assuming you need to remove her from the flock, but what are some ideas as a good, easy set up for a broody hen? thanks!

Hi! I am looking for some bantam chicks for my boys. We have swedish flower hens now, but my boys would like some small chickens that are easier for them to handle. We are looking for silkie (Splash or partridge), sebrights (gold or silver) and d'uccle (mille fluer). We are in the...

I ordered a sexed EE pullet, but I am pretty sure that she is actually a he. What do you think? 9 weeks old

I asked my husband (who is a props artisan for our local playhouse) to help me with building a chicken coop. After scrapping many sets up plans, I thought we had settled on a simple 6x8 shed with a slanted roof. Then he had a bout with insomnia and spent the night researching playhouses for our...

This is actually from last year, but it just popped up on my photo program and it is too precious. This is our GP, Nanuk, she was almost 7 months old at the time and my 4yr old son. We had a power outage in Jan and my boy was scared. Nanuk laid with him to keep him warm and safe. She is such...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but this seems to be where people generally post about LGD. Last year we had made a decision to get some chickens. My kids had also been clamoring for a pup. So we got a 4 month old great pyrenees pup that had been farm raised around chickens...

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good set of coop plans for coop large enough for about 12+ hens. My husband is a carpenter, so he can build about anything, but as this is not his idea I thought I would make it easy for him. I would like something that has a materials list, cut...

I have been playing around on some breed selection tools and I am curious about the leonberger. They are such adorable BIG fluff balls. Does anyone out here have any experience with these dogs? Thanks!

We are looking to get some chicks in the spring. We also have a large iguana, cats and 2 small boys. My husband would like to get a dog. He does not like us being so far out in the country without a little bit of protection. While I know all dogs are individuals, and all puppies need a lot of...

For those of you with outdoor brooders.... how do you keep them out of the rain? In the coop.... covered porch.... ?

So.... I have never kept chickens before. My almost 5 yr old has become obsessed with chickens, and I think it must be contagious because I have gotten the bug. When he was around 2 he went through am egg and nest obsession. Every time we would do craft projects, he would make a nest and then...

This is probably a question I should forward to my builder, but I figured I might ask here too.... We have a large (nearly half acre) area of property that is pretty much unusable because of the septic system leach beds. Would it be okay to place a 8X10 chicken coop there, if it were built sled...

Hi folks, We will be getting some chicks in the spring. And I was wondering... if you could only have 4-5 chickens and you wanted a decent all year egg layer that is rather laid back sort of chicken, what breed/s would you have and where would you get them? Thanks! Tiffany

My husband took our son to Tractor Supply last spring to see the Easter Chicks. He is now completely chicken obsessed. We will be heading up to the Ohio Nationals this weekend to take a look at the chickens there and while we were talking about it he found out that you can show chickens and...

Hi all, We are looking to get some chickens this spring. Due to his extensive project list my husband doesn't want to build a chicken coop. Are there any commercial coops that you folks would recommend for probably 5-10 chickens? Thanks! Tiffany
