My name is Seth and I have been keeping chickens in Baltimore city for 10 years now. We only have my pride and joy showgirls right now because a big tree fell on the chicken coop. I’m actually incubating 6 showgirl x silkie eggs right now.
my 150 year old Kentucky coffee tree dropped a HUGE branch 18+ inches around and it fell directly on my chicken coop and run. The run is totaled and the chicken coop is bowed and boards are bucked off. No way we can fix it. But we have no idea what we are going to do to replace it. We have a...
My dad keeps chickens in west virgina. I keep chickens in Maryland. I can’t keep a rooster here and my dads girls never go broody. My warrior princess Emma who survived a severe raccoon attack was broody so we took five of my dads eggs marked them with an x on each end and gave them to Emma. Now...

Hello everyone,
I have been keeping chickens for the last seven years permitted in Baltimore city and I am looking to expand into racing pigeons but I cant figure out how to get a permit. Has anyone got experience getting a permit to build a pigeon loft/gain pigeons?
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
I am not sure I put this in the right place but I would love your input on something that I was pondering tonight. When I rear up chicks normaly they go in a box with some food and water and thats about it, and honestly my chickens are not very bright. I was wondering if they...
Im going to chick days tomorrow with my boyfriend and his kids fingers crossed that I can get in right after the monday shipment of chicks... And we dont try to leave with the whole shipment I remember last time. Went for 1 new chick left with 5... Chick days get me way to excited! Happy chick...
Two days ago we had to re-home our Roo because a neighbor complained about him, Honestly if it was safe and avaliable I would have easily spent around $150 to have him decrowed. The neighbors have been at my house all day today asking where he is. So many little kids call him there favorite and...
7 month old Rooster needs home in 24 hours in baltimore city MD. Pretty barred roo with ear muffs. Not particularly Friendly- Catchable (mostly.) Good with hens but definatly not a city boy!
Ladys and Gents of the hatch a long,
I prose to you a question- Should I Or more to the point "Can I" get away with painting the outside of my home made cooler 'bator?
I was really keyed up to paint on it this morning but the more I think on it the more worried I am that it might affect my...
Welcome to the fray Rebecca, I believe by the standards here just saying you want in is getting in. This looks like so much fun eh? This will be my first hatch a long as well.
You should say Hi and introduce yourself what kind of chickens do you keep? What are you thinking to bring to the hatch...
Drat I dont think I can milk 48 eggs out of my silkie and my Turken even if I was to squeeze the eggs out of them! That is my kind of math though. Yes we have a few vacancy's right now we lost our two best roosters leaving us with just the one semi-affectionatly known as 'NightMare." Says how...
Oh my, that is a lot of chickens. I cant imagine having that many at once and still wanting more... Ok Maybe I can. I think Tom would Knock me in the head if I went to far over 12 long-term resident chickens here and we are already at 6. What kind of chicks are you raising up? I'm happy the big...
I hope its not to addictive! I already want to hatch some of the fancier Orpington colors, Marans, Welsummers... Ok that goes on long enough on its own. I built a "Cooler" Incubator I am doing this with my four kids. If this is too addictive there will be no voice of reason to stop me :P
