Oh wow, I have good timing! I haven't been around for awhile, but I also have some roosters I need to get rid of. We let a broody hen hatch some chicks and now they've just started crowing so I know which are boys. I've got three that I need to get rid of. I'm fine with eating them, but neither...

Had our silver laced Wyandotte babies hatch in the last two days! There's been much excitement around our house. We have three that I suspect are male from their feathers. Anyone interested in them? We're in West Jordan, so we aren't allowed to keep them.

I thought she'd gotten out of it herself for a minute, but nope...she's still resolutely trying to hatch some eggs. :D I'm in the south end of West Jordan, so I'm pretty close to you. Can we work out some time to meet up? I'm free pretty much anytime. Thank you so much everyone for the...

Hello everyone! I'm terrible about keeping current here, so I end up just popping up every once in awhile when I have a question. We've had a busy year at my house, though! After a years long struggle with infertility we're expecting our second child in March! Which I am ridiculously excited...

Opticell, Lynnie, and Brian - I'm pretty new to chickens myself. We got our chicks from Cynthia in October and they started laying this Spring. It's been so much fun! The people here have been invaluable in helping me figure out what I'm doing. :) Cynthia - Your broody girl is too cute! I...

I'll definitely keep a good eye on those girls and I'll pick up that lotion! Hopefully it will put a stop to it. Thank you so much for the suggestions! I like sitting out there with water...my son would love it, too. Lots of time in the backyard? He'd be in! I have my suspicions that it...

Oh my, I can not keep up with you folks! I'm worried about two of my girls. One of them has a patch on her back, right in front of her tail, where the feathers are gone. It was bloody the day they were all missing, then it got to almost completely healed and suddenl. OIt was bloody again. That's...

Hello everyone! I wanted to pop by and say hello and ask a couple of questions...I know, I only pop up sporadically and it's always because I need help. First, the other day one of my girls had a bare, bloody patch on her back, just in front of her tail. It's healing up nicely and no more...

I'm so sorry to hear of all the lost chickens. :( And congratulations on all of the new hatches and little ones! All four of my girls have started laying! Including Martha of the large and very red comb and wattles. I was pretty sure they were all laying because I got four eggs...

Looks like someone else decided to join the club today! One of the small ones is the one I got yesterday, the other two are from today. I am so jealous of all the goats! I would love to get one but my husband is just not into the idea. I've been getting into cheesemaking lately and want the...

Look what I found in my coop this morning! It's our very first one, I'm thinking about blowing it and keeping the shell for posterity, sort of like the "first dollar" that businesses hang up. As soon as my son saw it he started saying "Egg! Eat! Egg!! Eat!!!" with the kind of stubbornness...

Nothing seems pointy back there. There are pointer feathers on the neck, but the back seems pretty blunt.

One more of Martha :)

It was a bit windy and Martha was not very cooperative, but hopefully this is a good shot. Hey mom! Whatcha doin'? Oh, pictures? Here's our good sides!

I hope they lay this month! I would be a happy lady! Ohh! Don't wonder about the black one! She's (?) my favorite, I don't want to have to get rid of her! I'll get some better body pictures today. No crowing, but both of the Swedish are pretty quiet.

No, I didn't see that you're giving it up! How come? I just love mine, the black one is my sweetest chicken. Always first to come up and see me when I go out there and usually first to come get treats when I'm offering them. My Australorp is just starting to get red, but the black Swedish...

Hey everyone! I'm a terrible correspondent! :) Everything has been quiet over here. My girls are loving the warmer weather. They'll actually come outside as long as I clear any snow from their run, but they're all snuggled up together back inside once the sun is down. My money is on my little...

Hey everyone! I know I've been missing, the holidays have been crazy! I didn't catch up on everything so I hope all is well and everyone has had a lovely holiday seasons on so far! My girls are doing well, but HATE the snow. They won't even go outside while I'm cleaning their coop. They just...

Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll use baby soap...I even have extra gentle, fragrance free, organic baby soap because my son inherited my sensitive skin. :) madchicken - She has poop on her...kinda looks like she stood under someone when they pooped.

I need to give my first chicken bath tonight! Any tips on how to do it?
