Thought this was kinda funny...... We had a little d'uccle hen that had hatched her first batch, litter, ???? She was a great little mommy. When the chicks were old enough, we passed them out to the 4-H kids to show at the fair. Once the last chick was adopted, our little hen went frantic and...

We had a beautiful Buff Orpington Rooster. About 6 months old. Actually thought he was a she until he grew a comb and start crowing over-night. So we called him Butch. Anyhow, he was big and healthy and very friendly. We kept him in an all enclosed coop with two hens. One night the dogs were...

My son would like to show a turkey in the fair next year and was told that he should get it in Jan/Feb. We do have a great breeder in our area, but I do not want to compete with "nest mates". We need new blood. Please let me know if you know anyone who will have some available. How old should...

My daughters received #9 day old chicks for their 4-H project. After about a week, the excitement wore off. So, like a good mommie...I fed the chicks twice daily , held them , rubbed their bellies (they loved it) and spent quite a bit of time with them. When they were about 3 months old, I...

I have a Mille Fleur D'uccle about 4-5 months old. He was born in an incubator with 8 Buff Orpington's. Needless to say, all his girlfriends are too tall for him. So...we got him two new girlfriends (about 3 months old d'uccle pullets). Initially, I put them in cages next to each other. They...
