    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    I just got a couple new Wyandottes. I was told they were BLR. The smaller one was born in June and is about 9 weeks old or so, the darker ones was born in May, so about 13 weeks. I have not had this breed before, but they look awfully dark for BLR's. What do you think? This is the youngest...

    Hen's giant dingleberry! Did I do the right thing?!

    I had the enjoyable task of cleaning a few butts that weren't so fluffy! I have changed to an all Organic Non-GMO food and it seems many of them are getting more drippy looking rear ends. A couple were downright nasty looking and I like to photograph my birds, so they needed a dip in the...

    Bald chick breasts normal?

    As a former nurse myself, I was aghast with worry when I noticed my one month old Speckled Sussex chick with a bald belly. Poor thing. It was bad enough she and her sister are the runts because they were obtained a week after the other 38 chicks. But now, to have a completely bald belly was...

    Can chickens eat beef?

    I had left some chili too long in the fridge and so I threw that out in the yard and my oh my...the beans and beef were loved by all. So glad that I can give it to them instead of having it go to waste.

    Left in the cold

    I just adopted a mixed flock of 13 hens. 12 of them have been raised together. One was a rescue hen. I went and checked on them last night, and the 12 were huddled in groups of 3-5, and the one rescue girl was left all alone on the other side of the coop. None of the original flock is...

    Old coop for incoming chickens

    It's been over a year since any chickens in there. I scrapped out all the old straw, poop, and whatever else. Took a stiff brush to it with soap and disinfectant and then hosed it all down really well. I then sprayed the whole thing with Shaklee Basic G. It is a great disinfectant. Left...

    Old coop for incoming chickens

    I just moved to a piece of property that has an old chicken shed on it. It is not very pretty, and someone has wrapped more chicken wire around this building that most folks would use for 4 seperate coops. I have wanted chickens for some time and always watch Craigslist. Well...a woman has a...

    This is pretty much what I've been looking for. I also want to attach a greenhouse to one side of the shed. Hoping to have it done for my first chickens next spring.
