That's awesome! How many chickens do you have? Yeah, I was slightly worried about the same thing, but they didn't have any symptoms that I could tell, whew!

Luckily none of our hens have gone broody, but they did only just start laying last week! Yeah, I know the roosters are beautiful, and I would have loved to keep ours, but since we went through having to cull our own I don't think we'll be buying any no matter how beautiful they are! We bought...

Thank you! I knew that was supposed to be the case, so when they started out being so regular (I assume it was the two, maybe one more threw an egg in the mix) I thought maybe they wouldn't have an adjustment period. It's funny because so many of the things I'd heard about as common issues have...

Yep! The normal kind, the "timewarp" kind, I am sure I have others... I am not planning to hatch eggs, so I won't deal with that last one (LOL, that's of course what many who hatch eggs think to begin with, but we cannot have roosters and had to cull two of our birds because they ended up being...

Last week the day before we left town for the weekend we got out first egg (That was a great story! lol, I'll share sometime) While we were gone someone checked on the girls and got one egg the next day and two eggs the last) When we got back we got another egg, followed by two eggs the...

I didn't know where else to post this and I thought the category could accommodate this: I was once again sitting out in my yard, hanging out with the chickens, giving them treats, smiling ridiculously, laughing at their antics- you know, the usual. (I know it's not just me) I realized I'd...

Glad it all worked out and you were able to get your ckickens! I saw the page on your coop, that is some amazing and beautiful work!! I think you made a good decision. My husband and I just got our first chicks a couple weeks ago and I asked him today if he thought it's be as much fun as it is...

We all have our moments (regarding something) to look back on and think "I cannot believe I thought that!" I hope she joins BYC, it's definitely one of the best communities for gaining information!

How sad! Definitely agree with the others to make sure the dog won't get to them this next time, and the sooner you can get your little chickie some new buds the better for them all!

I am new to this chicken raising thing, with a lot of years under my belt of considering/planning to raise chickens. We have seven cute little chicks, and since for now I do not have a signature yet I'll tell you what they are- 1 Rhode Island Red, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Australorps, 1 Golden Laced...

Good to know! I've been lurking around this forum for quite awhile, and was surprised when I replied on a forum today and saw my count at 1! I thought I'd at least responded to something a time or two by now

I do not know anyone who has disliked having chickens, but I too had qualms about it (out of worry that my neighbors would complain.) We just got our first 7 chicks earlier this month and it's been such a joy so far. The real test will come once we have them out in their coop! As it is someone...

Since I posted this we moved them into a larger brooder to let them run around, and though they stir up dust they had not gotten too out of control with it before that! I should have mentioned the dining room was not in use, it just was a convenient spot to have them nearby (and easy to clean...
