I just got 20 more horizontal nipples for waterers. I will be making bucket waterers with 2 - 3 nipples each. I made 4 last year and they are the greatest thing ever. I only need to refill them every other day now.  Could you post a photo of the watered you made Christine? I need to make a...

Hi Carolyn, my chickens were producing a few eggs a week, a few total not per chicken, until the beginning of January. Now nothing! Not even the 6 month olds. Last year they were laying a few a week all through the winter and I only had four. Now I have seven. One of the 6 mos. old chickens (I...

Hi Christine. HRU? I don't heat my coop and all the chicken sleep outside in the enclosed run on a roost. They all cosied up together and even in the worst of the winter they still slept outside on the roost. I don't close the door to the coop so they could go in if they wished. Also what would...

Christine, Roberta or Caroline are either of you interested in a beautiful boy?? I could even give up one of his sisters as well, to make a breeding pair, if that would sweeten the pot, so to speak. I hate to give up Mohawk but he has finally started to find his voice... i will drive him or...

Hi she is beautiful but I don't have any need for another broody hen I have two seramas that have been broody for over 3 months now. I'm actually looking for a couple of chicks to stick under them. Preferably bantam favorolle, any color. I'm in southern NY

Sorry to hear about your bear and the loss of your young birds Christina. I hope you were able to relocate him? I've been planting, weeding and unpacking boxes. Finally the workmen are finished. We still have the "punch list" but just the driveway left to do and fix up some landscaping. Hence...

I can't make it this weekend, we are having a big birthday bash for my daughter and it will be hectic here. I could drive over to you next week sometime, if that works for you?

I replied once but somehow I must have done something wrong. Sorry about your bantams, I do recall you mentioning it at the time. What type of bantam eggs does your young kid have for sale? Oh and good luck with the golden pheasants

What a good idea! I think bantam eggs would be a great idea. They could probably sit on four each. Hopefully I could get at least a couple of girls out of that many. Do you have any ideas about those? Do you even have bantams or are yours all full sized?

Hi Christine Hope you are feeling better. I've been so busy with our renovation I haven't had time to follow BC posts but I just caught up now. Can anyone suggest where I can order some fertilized eggs from? I have two chickens in spring laying mode the Spitzhauben and the Brabanter (thanks...

Yes I had a CT scan day of accident then again the next day. I went to a neurologist also. Sorry you are going thru such troubles. Hope you feel better soon

Sorry to hear about your hawk problem Christine. I haven't really let mine out yet. Except to dig out the mountain of shi-rt. They don't really like the snow. All of a sudden, after producing eggs all thru the winter (@8/w- not bad for 4 chickens) they just completely stopped. Hot oatmeal or no...

Sorry to hear about the hawk losses. You are lucky you didn't get hurt. Are you doing any better? Stay warm. I can't wait for spring.

Hi Carol, Christina, Roberta, Heather (even tho you are in Texas now - makes no difference, you are still one of us) I found the best dishes for feeding my chickens! I don't have to wash them I just chuck them. Yeah! I cut my milk cartons in half and use those. I did cut across to start with but...

I'm so sorry Christine, it is so hard to say goodbye. I'm sending you a big hug.

Cool pics. Where was the eagle pic taken?

I thought the pics were fabulous. I'm glad you didn't have your glasses on. Do it again!

I can't believe they are giving me two eggs about every other day in this weather. I don't give them supplemental heat I just give them oatmeal with applesauce or chopped apple peels. Sometimes leftover pasta heated up with cheese. They LOVE cheese. They were so funny today, I changed their...

It shows I haven't been on in a long time... I pressed the button too soon. Sorry. I'm also happy you weren't seriously injured Christine! My construction is still ongoing but getting closer to the end. Chewy is very gentle and has healed well after his surgery but is a real thief! My Seramas...
