Two nasty labs were on my property yesterday... barking and bristling at me while I was on my own front porch (!!!!), then started to head down towards my little suburban coop. No way, Uh-uh, ain't happenin'!!! Grabbed DH's mace & ran back out yelling at them to GO HOME, backed them off away...

You know, the one I used to think was an overly-sentimental wuss, and kinda laugh at.... BEFORE I had kids? My 7 yr old DD had her 1st day of 2ond grade yesterday, she looked so brave & beautiful, but so TINY... I all day, (and looked at baby pictures), didn't I just bring her home from the...

They were hatched out here on May 28th, are "wish list" chicks from Hinkjc, *BUT*.... too many boys!!! Absolutely CANNOT keep. I have defied all laws of statistics known to mankind or chickendom; my last hatch was 8 out of 10 were roos, this time 3 outta 4 were roos!! Anyway, my 3 boys are...

This picture of my young Buff Orp boys cracked me up..

Here are my 4 BO's, one is OBVIOUSLY a pullet & looks much different than the others. The other 3 have varying degrees of comb/wattle development, one especially just SCREAMS "roo" to me since week one... I was holding out hope that 1 or 2 of the others *might* be another pullet, but hope is...

Sweet & lovely, about 8 weeks old, just "too many boys", can't keep. Definitely 2 available, possibly 3. Pickup only, I am about 45 minutes South of Pittsburgh, and would be willing to drive up to an hour to meet you. Zip code 15025 if you want to google my location. Free to good home(s).

My young Serama hen "Flower" seriously did the most out-of-proportion to her size, HUGE, poop ever. I know it is kinda funny sounding, but I am SERIOUSLY a bit concerned!!!!! History: she is only about 6 months old, but has been laying cute little yummy eggs for about a month with no...

Hi, I hatched out some "wish list" Buff Orpington chicks that I got from Hinkjc, and am looking for tips on sexing... What do you "pros" go by for this breed- leg/foot size? comb size/color? anything else? And at what age do you feel you can start to "see the differences"? Mine are still VERY...

Oh, man, I am SOOOOOOOO dating myself with this one, but me & my 2 sisters used to wait ALL WEEK for Saturday morning to roll around with the newest episode of "Land of the Lost"... Not to mention I had a RAGING crush on "Will". There is a "Land of the Lost" marathon all day/night today on...

AND... my 7 yr old DD's school has a bunch of "School Spirit" fun "theme" days; today was "CRAZY HAIR DAY".... We have had her hairstyle planned for days: an elaborate and silly updo with ponytails, twists, and lots of BRIGHT PINK spray-on hair color. Turned out adorable and WAY crazy...

That FACE!!!!! Just look at that FACE.... !!!!! and THEN... we saw THIS... and I almost died of cuteness toxicity!! !! Oooooooo, no.. I can't even look at the PIX anymore or someone will have to call the paramedics... heeheehhee and cuuuuuuuuuuuuute !!

Hiya... Am considering selling some home-made items, crafts, decor, art... and have read some good things about going through "Etsy". I swear I have seen some BYCers with "Etsy" in siggy line or posts, but cannot remember WHO. Am just interested in knowing how it is going for them, if it is...

Can we start a thread with some BYC hatching inventions & innovations?? I have seen so many cool ideas & creations; egg turners, candlers, devices to add or remove water from 'bator without having to open it, etc., etc.!!! It might be nice to "compile" them, kinda like how the home-made...

Unexpectedly/unavoidably had to leave with family from Weds evening til now (Sat afternoon), while I have eggs in the 'bator... And not just *ANY* eggs, but some "wish list" eggs shipped from Hinkjc (Buff Orps) !!! Anyway, I set the incubator to a "low end" temp (figured safer than high...

Okay give me some input on the ODDS here...!!!! (I know it's probably a long shot, though!!) I have 8 buff orpington eggs in the incubator, I just set them yesterday. Anyway, I couldn't get it out of my head that there were also a dozen eggs in the fridge that DH got last weekend from a...

I am so excited, I finally went & got a set of *MUCH WANTED* buff orpington eggs from Hinkjc, who's birds I have been drooling over for months... I ordered 6, but she sent 2 extras , so have 8 total. They arrived yesterday afternoon in perfect condition thanks to the packing, I let them...

I consider us an average, normal, middle-class suburban family... DH is a cop, I am, as of recently, a "stay-at-home Mom", and we have 2 adorable daughters, ages 7 & 4. But it just dawned on me that since we have acquired chickens, that there are times that I just have to LAUGH... I catch...

A little background: To say that my 4 yr old daughter, Sami, loves her pet Serama "Flower" is the understatement of the year, and I swear, it is MUTUAL... Flower will actively seek out Sami, and is never happier then when she is on her lap. They watch TV together, swing (gently!) on a swing...

Managed to find a new home for my roos (WOOHOO!!), and am taking them to a poultry breeder TODAY... The ISSUE is, he has chicks & pullets & hens for sale... DH literally pantomimed/acted out "being the chicken farmer" trying to sell me some, and schooled me on the "appropriate response"...
