    Do you play favorites? Admit it....it's OK....I won't tell the others....

    Out of 11 Buff Orpington girls, one of them stuck out and had decided that I am her's. Her name is Tuti. I couldn't tell them apart early on, so I put a purple leg band on her. Over time, she had developed a special cluck for me so I don't even need to check their legs anymore to see if I'm...

    Blind Baby Chick

    Looking for suggestions on how to raise a blind chick and how to care for them (and for her to care for herself) once they are an adult chicken. We have a large chicken ranch and I was out there feeding our adult hens and roosters the other day. I could hear a baby chick crying (that squawk...

    You take great pictures! You really do. I enjoyed your story and your flock. Congrats on POW. Im new to raising egg layers and I learn something new everyday. I love watching their personalities emerge. They just don't realize how much they entertain me and bring me joy. I hope my flock and I...

    Good treats for baby chicks?

    For the older chicks (3 wks+), I give them Oatmeal (not instant), plain yogurt, crushed Cherrios, Corn Flakes, Watermelon with rind and hard boiled eggs. I boil the eggs that our adult hens produce. I want to try noodles and Rice and I should get them some mealworms. For the babies (days old-...

    What is your favorite hatchery?

    My local feed store orders from Privett. I was so happy with the New Hamps that I got from them, that I ordered 25 dominiques (straight run)directly from Privett. They arrived on Valentine's Day. All were healthy and alive and are doing well. Great customer service from the local post office. [...

    Weak and Fragile Baby Chicken

    I wanted to share another update. I can't seem to shake this image out of my head. Tiny cracks me up! Tiny has one roomated and it's a Silkie. They are good friends. Tiny is so small, compared. I decided to take one of the new baby chicks, (an Orpington) and compare it in size to...

    Why did you get your first chickens?

    My obession started when I met my husband. We had a long distance romance for a while and then I decided to move to him in the Midwest from the East Coast. I've always loved Poultry shows but I've always lived in suburban areas where you can't have livestock etc. He has a chicken ranch...
