    Help solve the mystery..

    We are Mystery, "rare breed" chicks from Meyer hatchery. Rare breed could be just about anything. Chick 1: Chick 2: And Chick 3, who is either Gigantic, or the others are midgets:

    We are cute, but what will we grow up to be?

    It's that time of year again- we get surprise chicks from the hatchery and we ask for the more experienced to help us figure out what we have. My daughter got the surprise brown egg layer assortment, and we have both been looking at a million pictures for 2 days and we are at a loss. Althoug...

    Just How big...

    My neighbor( an elderly woman who loves my chickens) adopted an oven stuffer roaster that appeared in her yard one day. It must have fallen off the truck. I know there is a difference between a commercial purdue chicken and a farm fresh cornish x in how they were bred and all, but.. does...

    Saw the first Christmas commercial..

    yesterday. For Crest Whitestrips. The day before Halloween. Do commercials before Halloween make you warm for the season, or do they just make you feel as if it is being pushed on you?

    From 100 percent fertile -- to zero???

    I have a bantam flock - frizzled D'Uccle/cochin mixes and a silkie. Barney had 8 girls. Over a 2 month period 2 of the silkies died, leaving Barney and 6 girls. When we have checked the eggs, there was between 90 and 100 percent fertile. In the begining of July, they hatched out 6 chicks. In...

    Someone needs a raise...

    I know everyone hates these things, but y'all know and love Writer of Words, who is in a contest to get a raise. She put her heart and soul out there. Someone is going in and giving her low scores, sabotaging our efforts to help her maybe win. So... anyone who wants to help...

    What color would you call this??

    I have a few frizzled D'Uccle/cochin mixes. They are basically mutts, but very good looking mutts!! I have called this coloring "Greyish", but I know that isn't quite right. I thought with different breeds, there are only specific colors. But would that apply to mixed breeds also? They are a...

    How to coax the broody moms to take chicks into the coop at night?????

    We have 3 broody mammas with 6 chicks that are now 6 days old. The moms have been bringing the babies outside for the past 3 days ( which really surprised me). The babies can get into the coop- there is a ramp which they choose not to use. They hop up the 4x4, so it is not an issue of them being...

    The broodies win- they have their eggs. NOW WHAT??

    We have 2 gals gone broody.The chickens are D'Uccle & cochin mixes, and 3 silkies. The silkies aren't the broody ones. They are all right around a year old, and this is the second time they have gone broody in the past 6 months. I let them sit on eggs while I decided if I was going to let them...

    A day at the (funny) farm.. A 3rd Broody joins- babies start hatching

    A quick history: We have a stray kitty that showed up in the chicken run as a tiny kitten, who is still there now, living with the big girls.Three or 4 of the big girlsescape their run every morning and roam the neighbors yards all day. And I have a trio of year old girls that have the run of...

    She found the goofiest place to squeeze into- to leave a surprise..

    Between finally having feathers (because she started molting at the end of January) and the tons of snow finally melting, Beebee was now roaming around the yards with the other 2 instead of hiding in the coop all day. In the morning, I open the human door and the 3 girls come running out. I...

    Barney back out with his girls! Fence problem solved ( we hope)

    I have my adorable little frizzled silkie/cochin mix Barney Fife. Here is a picture of him yesterday: Tonight I came home from work, and went to tuck everyone in for the night. I opened the bantams door, and I didn't see Barney. He's so white, and is usually on the front roost, all fluffed out...

    Synchronized Egg-Laying

    I have 8 little bantam gals( at least, I think they are all girls) who are 10 months old. Four of them started laying in Sept. One went broody a week after she started laying. After 5 weeks, she gave up, and 3 others went broody within 2 days. So, I was getting no eggs. The 3 quit being broody...

    Missing 3 chickens... UPDATE!! Found them!! All is well!

    Got home from work tonight, and the BLR kids coop was empty. Ok, that is weird, but once or twice a while back, I found them at the back door of the big girls coop. So, I look there- no chickens. Now, it's really weird. I have looked all over the yard with the little crappy flashlight I have...

    I really hope everyone has a great New Year...

    This past year has seen a lot of troubles in the BYC family. I may not comment, but I read, and feel for ya. There have been so many bad things happening in the lives of so many good people. I truly wish and hope everyone has a much better, memorable, somewhat worry-free, healthy New Year.

    Nettie had a post showing shoes she made for her duck with bumblefoot. I had asked if it could be modified for chickens, and she wanted to give it a shot. I sent pictures and measurements of chicken feet, and she sent me a pair of shoes. They are AWESOME!! Made out of the same stuff wetsuits are...

    Silkie & Frizzle get picture with Santa @ Petsmart !!!!!!

    I couldn't resist. Someone had a post asking if anyone ever took their chicken into Petsmart, and then I saw the ad for pictures with Santa. So, we took the dog, and 2 chickens to see Santa. They were so well behaved!!! Even with a bunch of dogs running around. Everyone wanted to see what was...

    Rolled hay, alfalfa hay, grass hay, Timothy hay- What the hay?

    I saw someone on here used rolled hay for their run in the winter- to help protect little feet from cold, and something to peck at. Our local classified offer horse hay, and the different hays mentioned in the title. Does anyone use these in the run? Does anyone know the difference? Will grass...
