well..i found it and it's very dead...but fully formed. just still had half it's shell on it so i'm not sure what to think. it was big for a chick too. so maybe was too big for it's shell? i'm anxiously waiting to see what will happen with the others...if anything. at least i know my...

just went out to check again and that one is no where to be seen...i've looked all over the coop and can't find a body or anything! i don't know what to make of it. the mom got off the nest to run around with the rest of the chickens and another was sitting on the eggs...nothing under her...

well..i'm pretty sure that first one didn't make it. i just went out to check and there is still a little shell on it and no movement. i can only see part of it from under mama hen, so i guess i'll just let it be and see what happens. she's being extremely protective today...won't let me too...

we have a hen that has gone broody so have been letting her sit on a clutch of about 14 eggs. today when i went out to feed them, one of the eggs had most of the shell gone with some membrane still around and what looked to be a very wet chick laying in it...it wasn't completely hatched or...

emailed you...

i'm very interested in possibly stocking some in my store.. they look amazing!

we buried our fence 12 inches and poured concrete in there...then covered it with dirt again.. seems to work great. they quit burrowing underneath..

i hope everyone is okay! any forcast on hurricane dean? please be safe!!!!

oh my gosh..she's so pretty!! i need one of those...haha i'll figure out how far she is from me and if she's selling any pullets...thanks!!

we have a dirt floor layered with hay...we've just been raking the hay around and adding new straw once a month. we are getting ready to pull it all out and start new...but we've never scrubbed the roosts, etc... our experience has been that unless it's smelly, then it should be alright. plus...

we didn't mix them...just switched when we ran out of chick feed at about 16 weeks...they are doing just fine. should be laying eggs any day now actually.. they definitely eat less when free ranging though. right now we are keeping them in coop and run until they actually lay...so they don't...

thanks heather! that's awesome! i just joined the yahoo group too...i'm obsessed, i know... i just think they are such gorgeous birds..

i didn't know that..thanks!

i haven't! but i hope to soon! haha

well...the defiant little pullet got out again! argh!! she got pecked by her friends so badly that i removed her and put her in the dog carrier we have. when i went to check on her in the morning, she dashed out of that thing so fast i didn't even see her!! she's in the woods next to our...

thanks..i'll try to get ahold of her long enough to put some neosporin on it. it's been so hot here lately that i don't want to leave her in the dog cage outside, but i need them to at least forgive her! they all lived together before this, so i don't know what happened other than the fact...

if anyone read my other posts, i just got 5 new chicks yesterday who are suppose to be around 4.5 months old. they are kind of small though, but i have no reason to doubt the gal who sold them to me. she owns the local feed store and i've seen her set-up and she appears to have amazingly...

got her! we put chicken wire along the fence when she came back on our side (it's a hogwire fence), put all the other chickens into the coop and left the run open. she got confused when she saw me and couldn't get through the fence so ran right into the run. we closed the door and she's...

oh..i don't have one of those, nor do we have a dog! hahah but i can get a net for sure. we have to go out and get some more concrete for the coop anyway. we noticed a spot in the very back of their run where they are scratching and the little ones will pretty much just go right under the...

so we got 5 new gals for our flock yesterday. they are around 4.5 - 5 months old, according to the gal at the feed store. we put them in with our other birds who are much bigger. well, the leghorn newbie got out when we went in to refill waterers, and she won't come back! she is going...
