Hey all, my prize SG Dorking roo came up with this today—it likely has been noticeable for a week or two but I’ve been working extra hours and the kids have been maintaining the barn. Hoping for some recommendations on what to do here, as well as diagnosis. I did a few sweeps trying to find...

We are putting in an order for horizontal water nipples and are contemplating selling them as well, and your interest will let us know what to order... It would be probably two weeks before they were shipped out from us, but is there interest here? $.95/nipple, plus shipping--unsure how much...

So we recently moved to this farm and it came with thirty (very young) turkeys. (As an aside, we're in the Madison, WI area and if anyone wants to buy some breeding birds....we don't want to overwinter this many. :th) They are either Bourbon Red (which we obviously have a lot of)...

It's SO frustrating not to be able to simply click into someone's profile and then find their pages. Bring it back!

I got these babies straight run from MPC - I'm thinking that I've got four boys and four girls but I'm hoping that you guys can tell me that I've got more girls than that. *laugh* Also, how long does it generally take for these guys to start crowing? I'm letting the boys grow until they crow...

So I have a 10x5 ft run--it's a dog kennel with chicken wire over the top. We have had raccoon problems--two of my hens were killed before we got the top on. This was last week. Since then, I put a lock on the pop door, and lock it every night. Tonight I am going to be gone all night...

Thanks guys!

So long story short, my husband and I are splitting up. We have two young children (ages 5 and 3) and both of us are full-time students right now. I just finally went back to college--last semester was my first semester back. Due to my teeny-tiny income I am trying to turn to family (my dad)...

I'm the one with the Corgi, reading Harry Potter, and wearing a green and white halter top. http://www.jsonline.com/multimedia/video/?bcpid=13960334001&bctid=110995484001

Just got this today--it needs some work before I think it's neighbor friendly (I live in the city, close to neighbors) but what a score!!! I'm going to divide it into two rabbit hutches with open area underneath so they can get to the grass. They'll share a green roof. I'm excited!

Is two weeks too young for some supervised outside time? The weather is sunny and warm in Wisconsin and I think it will be okay, but didn't want to make a fatal mistake. Thanks in advance!

They're on TV! The Cream City Hens chicks have a blogtv channel at www.blogtv.com/creamcityhens. Edited! (Sorry.)

I just noticed today that there is blood on the bedding from one of the chicks. I have a Speckled Sussex, Golden Campine, and Easter Egger from My Pet Chicken and one Splash Silkie from a BYC-er. The MPC ones were vaccinated for Mareks before they were sent out. I don't know what to do! If I...

I was hoping to get people on the forum to put pictures of eggs they've gotten to get some ideas of size comparisons. So--if you've been getting eggs, can you post a picture of an average sized egg next to a quarter and what breed of hen it is from? I would love to see the colors and sizes of...

I would like to introduce you to Cream City Hens' four chicks. We are working on a webpage called From Hatchery to Henhouse that will introduce new chicken lovers to the joys of the urban hen. These guys will also be going along with us this summer to farmer's markets to help educate...

Hey everyone, I've just set up the brooder last night in preparation of our hen group's chicks coming sometime in the next couple of days. I have a problem though--I can't get it above 80.2*. I have a 20gal tank for four standard size chicks. This is only going to be their home for the first...

Hi, I'm with a group in Milwaukee called Cream City Hens and we're starting the movement to allow backyard microflocks of hens. Along with this we're beginning to circulate a petition, and we're primarily looking for a photo of hens in the snow to headline the petition, to prove that they're...

Milwaukee has been mobilized! Please join us in starting the push for a new hen-friendly ordinance. We've got one alderman on our side so far--only 14 more to go! We have a Google group: Cream City Hens We have a Facebook group: Cream City Hens We have a twitter feed:@CreamCityHens We...

So I would really enjoy adding both chickens and rabbits to our small family (I'm working on ordinances for our village so they allow microflocks) and have thought long and hard lately about housing and how that would work. So my question is this: Does it work to house chickens and rabbits in...

Somebody is giving away a free shed/outbuilding on Craigslist ...anybody see a 'green' chicken coop in their future?!
