    Bare Skin on My BSL

    My 1 year old BSL has large patches of skin exposed on her hindquarters. It is bright red (I'm not sure if that is the proper skin color for a BSL), It doesn't seem to bother her. She's had it for over a month, I guess I thought it was just molting at first. It hasn't gotten any better, Any...

    So My Roo is starting to get "Friendly"...

    I saw my Roo Hamlet making his intentions known with my 15 week RSL. Does he know something I don't? Does this mean she is getting ready to lay? Can you tell how excited I am for my (her) first egg?

    Please have patience with a beginner!!

    I bought a Red Star and a Black Star from the pullet bin at the feed store. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but doesn't that mean that they are definitely girls? I just want to be sure before i get even more attached that I can keep them. They are about 6 weeks old and the Black sex...

    Keeping warm...

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this! I was just wondering if I put a heat lamp in the coop this winter (it can be well below 0F sometimes) will it mess with their sleeping cycles? I know a little extra light time during our short winter days can help keep them laying, but will it...

    Just thinking out loud here....

    OK this may be a bit of a rant here. I have been reading these forums for a while. Especially the ones where people are heartbroken because they have to get rid of their beloved roosters or people mentioning that you should check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind you having...

    Does she or Doesn't She?

    There's No Place Like Home

    DH and I have been working on this for several weekends. It's been hard finding rain-free days to work outside. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. We still need to make the egg boxes but I figure we have a couple of months for that. DH really wanted the girls out of the house ASAP so...

    Store Bought Grit??

    Please excuse this if it's a silly question! I've read that my chicks (4 1/2 weeks) should have some grit. They have a 1 lb. bag of grit for $9. I can get a 10 lb bag of playground sand for $2. Is this good enough or should I get the feed store grit? Should I even be giving it to the chicks...

    Is my Barred Rock an Ophelia or a Hamlet?

    I am brand new to all this Chicken excitement and want to join in the fun! This is my 4 week old Barred Rock named Ophelia. I'm getting a little worried a name change may be necessary. Any ideas?

    Thrilled to be here in BYC!! From Eastern WA

    So glad I found all of you! I just picked up a few(7) chicks a month ago and I am trying to learn as much as I can. I am sure I couldn't have done any of this without everyone's advice. I would love to meet other folks from this area!
