I participated in the Christmas gift swap and got the greatest stuff... I don't know the posting handle(s) of the family to call them out, but they are fabulous gift givers. I can't wait until Spring to put the beautiful vase to good use. The Gund rooster even makes noise... and drives the...

Dash borrowed a pair of overalls at Halloween when he dressed up like Junior Samples. They were so worn that they were baby soft and even had stains & patched holes. He fell in love! (As you can tell by the pic, they were a bit too big... thank goodness for a pillow.) Now that he's returned...

If you saw my post with pics earlier, you know that we picked up 3 8-wk old BOs this afternoon. We've named the first two Persaline and Tupalo (honey). We just haven't been able to come up with a name for the 3rd. Because they are yellow birds, that is a central theme in the names. Anyone...

Truthfully, Dash noticed that each of the 8-week old pullets that we brought home today have moisture around their nostrils. Is this something that we should be concerned about? When we got our other chickens they were mature so we just tossed them into the backyard and didn't stress too much...

On the advice of another BYC'er we contacted a gentleman in Winder to obtain 3 8-week old BOs. We made the trip today and now Dash is trying to "train" the girls to eat from his hand. The next thing I know he'll be coaxing them to sit, stay and fetch. They are all identical at this point, and...

Mudderhen has agreed to bate and hatch some eggs for us!! They are a cross of EE and Polish. None of us (mudderhen included) can wait to see what they look like. I'm expecting at least one Phyllis Diller look-a-like.

We purchased 6 pullets already laying back in the middle of September. When we began getting eggs after about a week they were slow and tapered off to nothing after hitting 3 for a day or two. Now they've started up again and today we actually got FIVE EGGS!! I squealed like a kid at...

Found an ad in the Market Bulletin for "Americana" chicks... (Yes, I've read enough on here to know that a lot of folks will try to pass an EE off as an Ameraucana. And, notice that I spelled it exactly as the gentleman who placed the ad. ) I'm looking to add a little color to our egg...

These are our girls... Dash & the niece (1st time around chicken not in the form of a nugget) tossing out scratch. She had so much fun!!

The lamb barn we converted into a house for our girls is one coat of paint closer to being presentable. Add the cafe curtains and window box we'll be ready for the cover of Architectural Digest.

Dash & I are located in NE Georgia and are looking to purchase 2 hens in each breed in the 18-30 week age range. We'd prefer to p/u if there is anyone out there in reasonable driving distance (100 miles in any direction from I-85 at the GA-SC state line). If not, I'm not totally against...

What life lessons have you given/gotten using chickens as an example, ie... Don't count your eggs before they hatch... I usually get 3 or 4, but now only 1 or 2 Gotta check on my chickens... what are the dh and ds up to? Egg money... no explanation needed, but I can post pics of the latest new...

While out of town this past weekend, my parents checked out an antique shop they came across. Well, low and behold what should Dad find but a marble egg. That was just too good to be true. Being a farm boy himself and a real prankster at heart he couldn't pass it up. A few minutes later the...

It has rained steady all day. I came home during lunch to open the coop and let the ladies have their freedom. I picked up 1 egg then nothing since... They've just been out playing in the wet. We've only had these (2 RIR, 2 Dom & 2 Sex Link (?)) chickens for about a week and a half, but are...

Salutations from Elberton, the Granite Capital of the World! We're located about 35 miles east of Athens. Go Dawgs!
