I agree! I attended a city council meeting last fall...and it proved to be a waste of time. Our city council sucks. And it seems that everyone in city government has something against chickens...including the chief of police...but no one will give you a straight answer as to why.
If you know of...
Hey! I have a 14 week old Lavender Orpington cockerel that I need to find a home for. I'm asking $15 for it. I purchased the hatching eggs from The Bradley Farm in Tacoma, WA and they hail from HinkJC bloodlines.
In the coming weeks I might have a few more cockerels, sadly. If you have any...
Hello,
I have a 14 week old Lavender Orpington cockerel that I need to sell. I may have a few more in the coming weeks, but this one is the most "roo-like" so he needs to go since we can't have roosters.
I live in Edmonds, WA, and I could meet you somewhere local. Please message me if you...
Hey all,
Its been a few week since I've posted. And now I know for sure that one of the LOs is a roo...but I'm not too sure on any of the others. Any guesses would be great. The one that I think is the roo has THICK legs...thicker than any of the others...including the BLRW. Thanks!

So I have 5 chicks that are 9 1/2 weeks old now. Any guesses on whether they are cockerels or pullets??? I posted two pictures of each chick. :)
Chick #1 - Blue Laced Red Wyandotte - (pullet??)
Chick #2 (Lavendar Orpington)
Chick #3 (This one is the only one without a tail, and the...
I built my original coop and run in May/June of 2012. I posted it here "Coop and Garden."
Over the past year I realized that while cute, it wasn't quite functional. I love how back yard chicken keeping has really opened my eyes to what I really need in order to house chickens comfortably and...
I'm guessing pullet. My SS Wendy looked like a cockerel until she was the first to lay an egg! I was convinced I had a boy! She had what I thought were pointy saddle feathers as well as a colorful tail that seemed too long! You can go to my profile to see pictures of her! But your's looks like a...
I have one hen who just started to molt and the other has no idea what to do! I haven't gotten any eggs in over a week!!!! ARGH!!! **sigh** I wish this would just be done! LOLOL :)
Hey there!
My name is Brian and I live in Edmonds, WA. We currently have two hens...had to get rid of one for bullying reasons...but we are allowed to have 3 in the city of Edmonds. I recently contacted a member of the city council about raising the number of hens allowed to 5. I attended a...
Hey all!
I'm currently raising five chicks that are now 4 weeks old. :) I've been dedicated in taking pictures of them every single day (one of each) and posting them on my blog.
It's getting to the point where they are almost ready to go to their forever homes (I want to keep two), so I want...

Last week at this time I had three chicks just hatch and three more on the way! I currently have 6 baby chicks! 5 Lavender Orpingtons and one 'oops.' She is a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte! :)
I'm chronicling their upbringing with daily mug shots as well as stories from their days on my blog! And...
I recently had to deal with this problem myself. My 3 hens were raised together since 4 days old. And Carnie, my Black Australorp, was always top dog. About three months ago she decided that she was going to bully Chynna, my Columbian Wyandotte. Chynna never tried to get higher in the pecking...
Hey! So I finally got my hands on some Lavender Orpington hatching eggs! I'm super excited! I am putting them in the incubator tomorrow morning first thing! If you want to follow along with me, I'm chronicling the whole thing on my blog The REAL Housewife of Snohomish County! You can find the...
So...I have three chickens, a black australorp, Columbian Wyandotte and a Speckled Sussex. They are just over a year old and everything has been pretty good with them. The Australorp has made herself the boss since day one. But now she's taken to bullying the Wyandotte. And I know there's a...
