    He's 11. I don't think he'll lose his compassion at this point, which makes me happy. Both kids seem okay today. I'm sad because we lost a Barnevelder. But, the Welsummers all look good, as do the rest of the Barnevelders.

    Thanks, everyone. We've lost a chicken before, so they know it happens. I guess I didn't expect him to have such grief over one that had only been here 2 days. She was just one of nine until she started failing, and then she became his personal project. It was good to see such compassion in him...

    We're sad tonight. One of the Barnevelder chicks didn't make it. She couldn't get up this afternoon. We separated her from the others, and hand fed her. When it was clear that she wasn't getting better, my son made her a little pillow and blanket and kept her warm and comfortable until she died...

    Thanks! The invoice specifically says that they are males added for warmth, so I'm guessing that they're black sexlinks. They're very cute, but we can't have them. I'm annoyed because I paid for insurance so that we wouldn't get males, and they put them in there anyway.

    Hooray!! My babies arrived safe and sound this morning. I have 5 Welsummers, 4 Barnevelders, and 6 unidentified packing peanuts. They're black with a yellowish white spot on their head. Any idea what they may be? I need to find someone who wants free meat birds. I have no interest in keeping a...

    I'm ready to place an order from Ideal Poultry for some Welsummers, Barnevelders, and Ameraucanas. I'm going to order more than I need in order to meet the minimum order requirement. Is anyone interested in sharing the order with me? I should have 2-3 extras of the both the Welsummers and the...

    Owning a bird dog and chicks...

    We have two golden retriever mixes - one with sheltie and the other aussie. The Golden/Aussie is totally trustworthy because he's very obedient and would rather please me than chase birds (much as he loves chasing the other birds). He lays down next to the run and goes to sleep while they play...

    I don't know if this is the right place for this, but it seems logical. I'm going to place an order with Ideal for Barnevelders. They have a $25 minimum order and I only want a few. Is anyone else in Phoenix getting ready to order chicks? We could share an order so I'm not getting a bunch of...

    found materials - need idea feedback

    Thanks very much! Your diagram looks similar to what I was thinking. Now I have to design the inside space for easy cleaning and happy chickens.

    found materials - need idea feedback

    I'm building a coop for our new chicks (got them yesterday!) from materials that I found yesterday at the art museum. They put out the old art shipping crates and various other installation materials when they're done with them. Here's what I got: Dimensions are 86x45x30 inches. It has a...
