    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Thank you all for your posts. We downsized to an apt after selling our large house (we are empty nesters all around now). Seems our girls are what we miss the most! Looking for a new, but smaller, house and finding restrictions a bit disappointing. The suburb of Montgomery (outside of...

    Miami Township-Clermont County, Ohio--Any current or wannabe chicken owners?

    Hoping the mindset had improved from when the earlier posts were added - I went into the office and was very nastily told that only 5 acres or more could have chickens in Miami Township. Not wanting to be snarky (okay I did after talking to them) - I told them Hyde Park and Montgomery allow...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    We lost our first girls to predators. Two of the nice quiet ones. I never knew I would take it this hard. They certainly do have a way of getting into your heart. Sigh.

    Comment by 'kathychick' in article 'Omelays Chicken Coop Tractor'

    EXCELLENT! We were just talking about trying to work something into having the chickens out but safe from hawks. By using the EMT (great cost) we can put them over the rased beds when they aren't on the ground in the same tractor. Thank you for sharing such a great idea. My husband has already...

    Is my chicken crazy?

    Okay. It has been months and I've been dutifully picking up the one egg which keeps getting laid on the floor when last night I went out to close up the girls as usual and checked in the nesting box and THERE SHE WAS! Sitting on her egg in the nest box - not on the floor! She looked at me as...

    Does anyone use the nipple water drinkers?

    LOVE nipple waterers. We also put them on the bottom of a bicycle water bottle in the brooder. Top came off easily for checking level and topping off. They also came with their own holder which we screwed through the side of the brooder (instead of the bike) and could easily lift the bottle in...

    Is my chicken crazy?

    She didn't start laying until this week and that is when this behavior started. So perhaps it is that. I do not have a rooster (in my next life with more land and money) but the laying and sounding the alarm started the same week. My husband liked your answer and said "those darn hormones in...

    Is my chicken crazy?

    We have a lovely little mixed young flock from Meyer. The meal-maker turned out to be a beautiful Dominique who also is out our first and only (to date) layer. She has started running around in and out of the coop making all sorts if noise whenever we go into the coop. I'm not sure if she is...

    Chicken bed time

    My chickens are backward! Originally we used to sit on the porch and watch them walk up the ramp to the pop door at very late desk. We were amazed at Mother Nature's ability to wire that into our curls. Lately they have started laying AND do not go into the coop. They are laying on top of...

    Breed Recommendations for a newbie

    After too many years as a consultant...my answer is "it depends". Things to consider when looking at breed characteristics: Are they going to be free ranging or in a run? Is it very cold in the winter or very hot in the summer in your area? Are your neighbors close (noise is to be considered)...
