    Pullet Palace I used to think people regarded me as a little odd, dreaming as I was for 15 years of moving to the country and having chickens. Granted, I could have become a "backyarder" in the city. My neighbor down the street managed to get a variance and permission to have 4 chickens in...

    kind of sad

    I've had layers for 2 years and this year decided to try Freedom Rangers. I did distance myself and that worked, to a point, but it was hard the day I took them in for processing. I had myself a good cry. But now that they're in the freezer I'm pleased with the whole project and plan to do it...

    If you use 4 x 4 posts for the frame, then you don't have to worry about wrapping the hardware cloth under the frame, because the heavy frame will keep out predators (unless you have diggers.) You can drill holes in the posts, insert the PVC, and screw thru the frame and PVC to hold it in...

    New Member- Just saying hi

    Welcome to BYC! You're going to love the rich brown of the Welsummer eggs. Sorry, but can't help you out in the taming category. My breeds are mostly high strung layers and I was not successful in taming them. But, then, maybe I didn't put in enough time.... Good luck and have fun!

    Positive hatchery order experiences.......Please post yours here

    I've only ordered once, from Welp. I was happy with it. Ordered 25 chicks and 26 arrived on time, alive and healthy. I ordered 5 each of Welsummers, Danish Brown Leghorns, Anconas, California Whites, and Dominiques. All have been excellent layers.

    What are you putting on your coop floor this winter???

    We use straw because we get it free from our farmer neighbor (well, we give him eggs in return). He gave us a huge round bale when we first started with chickens 18 mos. ago and we still have about 1/4 of it left. Works great with the deep litter system. Yes, it is a pain cleaning all that...

    Brabanter or Ancona? What to choose?

    I have 2 Anconas, a rooster and hen, in my mixed flock of 19. The hen has never gone broody and seems to lay lots of white eggs. The rooster has tons of character and does a lot of talking, which is really entertaining. Sorry I don't have any experience with the Brabanters. One caution: my...

    ***JULY HATCH-A-LONG come join in***

    Quote: I'm a total novice, but in my hatch this month I had that happen and I didn't do anything. The chick never made it out of the shell. Sooooooo, I'd vote for punching through the membrane so it can get some air. Only problem is, when you open the incubator to "help" you risk losing the...

    Quote: I don't know about hatching the Seramas, but I think you're going to love the Welsummers. They lay the most beautiful dark brown eggs.

    ***JULY HATCH-A-LONG come join in***

    Please count me in! I've got 13 due to hatch on the 9th. They're mutts from my own flock. I bought some duck eggs from another BYC member back in May but my thermostat was so inconsistent (water heater type) that they didn't make it. I ordered a wafer style and now things are going much...

    Broody Bantam, going to try letting her set...need advice

    Good luck, I will be watching and waiting with interest. I'm hoping to let one of my standard-size chickens go broody in the spring, and will be trying to learn from all of you on this thread. Let us know how it turns out!

    Hello from VA

    Congrats and welcome. I'm not sure about the bird dog, but I have outdoor cats that hunt, and when I first let the chickens out to free range I was nervous. But the cats just lay right in the middle of the flock like they're all buddies.
