    New to rabbits. What advice do you have for a new owner? **Pics included**

    My 10 year old decided he wanted a rabbit as his very own pet. He wanted a pet that would run around the house and be litter box trained, smallish in size and friendly. Most importantly, we wanted to 'rescue' one from a shelter. A couple of months ago we set out to find our new family member...

    Portland Peeps, Do I see a free chicken coop in the making? Check out this ad!

    These could be fun to work with and free is the perfect price. Sadly, we are in between houses, so no chickens at the moment. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/zip/3382624683.html

    2nd grade show and share with "Olive" **pics**

    My son brought our docile EE 'Olive' to school today for Show and Share. She was so good! Just relaxed in his arms while 25 sets of hands grabbed at her from all sides. Then a feather popped out and all the kids wanted one! Well, I wasn't about to let 25 kids pull feathers out, but a couple kids...

    Post pic of your nipple waterers!

    I so wanted to make the subject line "I've got nipples!" but I feared the powers that be would make me remove it. I bought 6 nipples on ebay and am excited to put them into use. I want to get water in their small run which is only 4 feet high. Therefore, I can't do a big bucket or the nipples...

    My black Australorp changed colors! Weird...PiC HEAVY

    My black australorp ,Sidney, has always looked like, well, a black australorp. Solid black feathers that glow green in the sunshine. She was as australorpy as any australorp could be. This fall she decided to molt, because why not? Out dropped the feathers and away she went. That was a couple of...

    I know this is a crazy question but..

    Can a chicken switch what egg color she lays? I have three older hens that lay two brown eggs and one green egg. Then I have three younger pullets which lay one blue, one dark brown (Welsummer), and one basic brown (my feed store EE). I also have two even younger EE's that just started laying a...

    Anybody have chickens and bunnies together?

    My son wants a bunny for his 9th birthday. I have an unused chicken coop that is only used for the chickens to lay eggs in the top part. If I pull up the ramp, a rabbit could have the unused bottom section. I'd love to see pictures if anyone has these animals together. Just starting my...

    I got dooped, but by whom???? Give me your best guess..

    I have three new pullets this year which were supposed to lay blue, green, and white eggs respectively. Today I found a tiny green AND a tiny brown egg in the nest. Brown egg????? I wasn't supposed to have a BROWN egg..! Pics are a few weeks old, but.. It's a good old fashioned who-done-it. The...

    Chicken lice.. I'm over it!!!

    Found lice on my chickens this spring. I was advised to use Eprinex, which I did *twice* to no avail. Then switched to the poultry powder (Permetherin). Cleaned out the coop and sprinkled poultry powder and DE over the roosts and under nesting material. Switched to sand in the bottom, followed...

    Colorful legs = Colorful eggs!

    I have a thing for collecting different chicken breeds and love all of their unique qualities. This year the gals all ended up with different colored legs and they look so cool together. Blue, green, and yellow we've got it covered...

    What breed is this pullet?

    I bought her from the local feed store in a bin marked 'Speckled Sussex,' but I have my doubts. I know they can speckle out later, but her feather color pattern is leading me to think she might be a Welsummer. I'm no expert on either breed. What do you think? She hasn't a speckle on her yet, the...

    HELP!. BuGS IT iS! **New PIC on bottom of pg 1**

    Not my day I guess. My BO has been sitting on the nesting box all day, so I finally removed her and gave her a once over. Her belly is all red and angry. She's missing all her belly feathers, but there are none in the nest! I looked as hard and long as I could and can't find a single live bug on...

    Uh Oh. Gross. What to do?

    My chickens got out because SOMEBODY left the gate open. OK, I admit, it was me. They got into the front yard, not only on to the chemically treated lawn, but also to a dead bird. The cat brought us a lovely dead wild bird present yesterday morning and as it was my son's cat, I was going to...
