    Can anyone help us to understand what to expect with Holderread order?

    I ordered and Runner ducks as well as Dewlap Toulouse. All arrived on the expected date and were healthy birds. I'm selling some now because I have too many, but they are great birds!

    Cochin Thread!!!

    This is Liz Lacey, our beloved buff Cochin in Brooklyn. We have her as well as two ameraucanas, Irma and Gretchen. Gretchen is a little shy and flighty but has calmed down a lot, and Irma is wily and pushy and at times not the nicest chicken. Liz Lacey is sweet, comical, good natured...

    How big should my chicks be?

    Hi Speckeledhen, I know these guys won't get anywhere near the size of an Orpington, but I saw a full-grown rooster that was an Araucana or Ameraucana of some sort that was way bigger than mine are so far. Right now they are the size of Bantams I've seen. Is your Suede an orpington? Are...

    How big should my chicks be?

    Thanks guys. I hope they do keep growing as I'm hoping to get full size eggs! As far as whether or not they are true Araucanas, from what I've read it seems unlikely, but that's what they were labled. I bought them at Farm and Fleet, a midwest chain. The female Araucanas are all a plain buff...

    How big should my chicks be?

    Hi All, I have 10 chickens, 5 Araucanas and 5 Polish. All are about 7 weeks old. I'm just wondering how big they should be as I recently visited a farm and saw full size chickens that were much, much larger than mine are. I have no idea what the growth stages of chicks are though, so maybe...

    Cement Runs...

    Hi CodyChristine, we're in Davenport, IA, a couple hours from Keokuk I believe. What have you done with your cement runs so far? Thanks for the advice GallowayFarms, I will check on corncob pieces. How often would I change that? I plan on building a portable pen that i can put the chickens...

    Cement Runs...

    Thanks for all your advice! I have a few questions about your suggestions though. The area is covered, but when it storms, which it has been doing a lot lately, rain would definitely get into the run. It's also very humid here (I'm in Iowa near the Mississippi) in the summer in general. So...
