Here is baby #2 he joined us last night a few hours after the first one. Still waiting on 4 more. So far I have one boy and one girl now. They're Rhode Island Red/Barred Rock crosses. From my research they're sex link babies. Black ones being girls and striped ones being the boys. We named the...
Hello all! Haven't been on here in a while and thought I'd share some news with y'all. First off, since I began my chicken journey Ive had some hard learned lessons. I started my flock last year with 6 birds onlly one of which is still with me today thanks to my dogs. I later picked up a trio...
No matter how good your dog/dogs are you can't trust them because they are natural predators. The only person you can get mad at if something like this happens is yourself because dogs look at these birds as a nice lunch. Security is of utmost importance if you want your birds to be safe from...
Hello all! It's been quite some time since I last posted. Anyways, I have some sad news to report. The beginning of spring this year I acquired 6 little peeps to raise and get some eggs from. I had an interesting mix of beautiful chickens. I enjoyed watching them all grow big and healthy. Well...

So, yesterday as I was putting my flock in for the night I noticed a little green egg on the floor. I have 2 EEs, and know its from one of them just not sure which one yet. It is crazy how tiny that egg is in comparison to the store bought eggs. My girls were hatched on March 3, so I know it is...
Yeah, that was my thought as well. We will see what happens. I am seriously considering eating him because he is a big bird. I will just have to figure a way to do it without the kids knowing about it, at least until after he's been ate. I really only have one child that would be upset because...
Ok, so I've had my flock of 6 chickens since they were a week old back in March of this year. Everything has been goin fine up until the past week or so. I have 3 roos and 3 hens just so everyone is clear and has an understanding of what might be happening. This whole time my black amercuana roo...
