I have two, 3 week old porcelain d’uccles and one is literally not growing other than it’s little wing feathers. It did have pasty butt for a while but that has stopped. It eats and drinks, scratches around with its feathered sibling, etc. It peeps, A LOT and wants to snuggle…A LOT. But seems...

Here are some updated pics of our coop "renovation". We just need to install the long windows, siding and the little run for them to get to the tiny chicken door. I'm in love! This new section will be all just open floor space for them. This is the right side of the coop(blue...

My dad and I are in the process of building a 4x6 addition to my coop. I just have too many chickens and with winter coming they will need more space. He's happy to be needed. He's really been having a hard time with his wife's death so I'm glad to give him a project. Father/daughter time is...

Well....I'm not sure when the last time I was here might be but we started school this week so I'll be MIA most of the time now. Homeschooling is going well. The oldest starts band at the middle school next week so that'll be interesting to see how we'll work that in. At least it's in the...

31 weeks! AGGGGGHHHHH! I have two maran chickens that are only about 12 weeks...guess I'll just expect eggs next YEAR from them. lol My only layer so far is an isa brown and she lays a double about every 3rd or 4th egg. She's been laying for about 5 weeks now.

Good luck to your son!! Ugh! I can't imagine how horrifying that must have been.

Are you proposing Raz? Lol!!! Tee- I'm so sorry but so glad it wasn't your kids!

Caz - Love your birds! M2M - I finally got some pics of your uggo and wannabees today(huh, my computer doesn't red squiggly wannabees...must be a word) anyway So I'll post them later.

Raz - It was liquid. And I could totally school you on how to fold fitted sheets. I'm awesome at it! Maybe I'll make a video and post it to youtube for you. We actually started using it on peed bedding. Our oldest had accidents for quite a while and it get's the pee smell right now. I...

I'm STILL waiting! I have 9 hens at 23 weeks and only ONE is laying and she's been laying since she was 16 weeks. I'm going to go crazy! I have others that are younger so they get to catch a break for a while.

I would just like to say that once I accidentally used "regular" laundry detergent in my HE washer and there were bubbles coming OUT of the door and it caused extra rinse cycles AND it then locked up the codes. So I would beg to differ that HE soap is the same. lol I didn't use any more...

Yes Amy, I get mine all at Meijer in the laundry aisle. The longest part of this process is grating and melting the soap. And even then it's fast. You can use the soap right away or let it sit. Doesn't affect the cleaning properties at all. I bought a cheap metal grater to use for the soap...

I buy them at Meijer because Walmart didn't carry the washing soda but I see they do now. I don't know if Walmart carries Kirk's castile soap though. I've seen some recipes that use Ivory instead of the other two soaps. Personal preference I would imagine. It costs approximately $11 to buy...

Here is the recipe I use. Prices for each are approximate depending on where you buy them. I personally put my soap in a covered 5 gallon bucket and keep it under my laundry room sink. If you want it to smell like "something" you can put any essential oil in it. LOTS of drops since there...

Still behind...I'm probably going to give up. Lol Thanks for the comment on the partridge silkie. I don't want to get rid of any until I know if they are hens but they take FOREVER to be able to tell. And I'm guessing since they are hatchery quality I'll have even more of a time of it...

My pretty "Foxy" lady. She and Cuddles(my Isa Brown) are the most lovable chickens I have. Frizzle my son got at Chicken Stock. He's so sweet. My beloved Cuddles...and my only egg layer. The bopsie twins...no eggs from them yet either!

Same age, same hatchery...very different 'type'. Grrr Pretty sure this guy is a GUY too.

Soooooo far behind. Silkie pros...girl or boy? "It" is 17 weeks old, no crowing...yet, hatchery chick. I have two blue silkies that have super combs and wattles so I'm 99.9% sure those two are boys. Really? lol

Hi Chris! Welcome! that's seriously huge tomato!! M2M - I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend.
