Its been like forever since I have done a coop building thread......
Sorry to disappoint, but GopherBoy had little to do with the building of this coop....since we are now putting them out for the general public, not all the shenanigans and mishaps can be going on all the time (not that they...
Ok, so we all have been MIA for .......hmmmm probably around a year.
but the chicken stuff still continues around here, and so does the crazy antics of GopherBoy....along with a few more characters that have joined the mix.
I got the newsletter a week or so back and saw another coop...
She is a 6 month old red star named Scratchpad. I noticed a few days ago her wing drooping...she was almost tripping over it. Today I saw her out in the yard with the rest and her wing was hanging so far that it was between her legs and she had begun to walk funny to compensate for it. So after...
First off Billie doesnt think she is a chicken.....she thinks she is a puppy..or a toddler....she is a bearded white polish large fowl and is about 1.5 yrs old. We all tend to carry her around most of the time....if we dont we will be tripping over her. But she does sleep in the coop wit hthe...
Just saw her on the channel 12 news around 7:45 this morning.
Any of you in Salem missing a chicken?
Funny thing is.....( I might be wrong)
but I dont think Salem allows people to keep chickens. LOL
Don't tell her this, she seems to like hanging out in front of the Restaurant

First off, I know NOTHING about these animals, this isnt mine. It belongs to the neighbor.
Here is what I know, the area below the lip was swollen and crusty, she was giving it some type of oral antibiotic, and the crusted over area split open. She is very upset about this and doesnt know what...
I went to my first poultry show this past Sat.
It was my sons 4H clubs show, and they had an auction at the end (my fist auction also).
Since the kids are starting their own flock of bantams I figured I should support the 4H club, and help the kids add to their flock, so I got 2 lots of chicks...

They are hand painted wine glasses!
She even said they are dishwasher safe (but I WILL NOT be putting them in my dishwasher.
She also has painted pictures of both children, and made patterns for Pendleton wool...
I took young son Coltin to 4H today. And he came up to me and announced "Mom look what I can have". Holding out this tiny beautiful little guy.
Since all we have is large fowl and Coltin is just starting to show (hasnt show yet). One of the leaders from another 4H group gave him this beautiful...
Ok, my 9 yr old son ate breakfast (pancakes) and lunch (PB&J) and did his chores, and played around in the house today. Around 5:00 he said his stomach hurt, but he went with me to the store, and seemed ok. We got home and I was just giving him leftover pizza for dinner. He only ate about 2...
Some one called up about an ad we have on craigslist (selling 2 roosters). And started asking us about best incubators, how to know if eggs are fertile and so on.....my words to him was "Go to the website backyardchickens.com and you can find all the answers you need". I went on to tell him it...
ooops I mean photobucket........
I thought..since I have almost 1000 images on there...maybe its time to put them into albums so that when we are posting it will be easier.........DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE!
I just spent 6 hours fixing our original coop thread, and our coop page, along with our...
I noticed yesterday that our rooster, Nikki Roo a buff cochin was limping. I said something to DH and he said "yeah hes been doing that for about 2 days"...........(love it when I get told things right away )
Anyway...Nikki free ranges with the girls all day and just pretty much does his...
Ok, we hatched these on Oct 15th and are thinking maybe they are roosters. The daddy is a Buff Cochin, and the mom is a Lakenvelder. They are white, with feather feet....and have black hackle feathers and black tail feathers.
