Growing Up Fast
I finally finished the coop, except for paint. All I have left is the run, which I believe they are to small for now anyways.
Since, I my last page I had a minor chicken crisis. While sitting in my shop at work checking my e-mails and get ready for the workday, I heard a...
Starting off
Growing up my great grandfather had chickens. They were on the far side of his barn and when we went to visit I rarely got to go see them much unless they were out where we were by the garden. When I recently moved to the country I knew i wanted my own flock. I mail ordered 25...
I am looking for some chicks for my daughter to show in 4H and some other local APA shows. Really want Ameracaunas but also like Speckled Sussex and Delwares but am open to other breeds and varieties.
Thanks for your time

Ones good and ones bad.. Albert, who used to be the boss, will go for kids and even my wife. Deano, who recently took Alberts throne, has never been any trouble. Of course he hasn't been the boss long though and we haven't had much interaction with him since the power change...
We are located...
To many boys in the coop and number 1 and 2 nearly killed themselves so now I have them seperated...Somebody please adopt. They are from Mt Healthy Hatchery and very well fed boys. They got 1st and 2nd American Cockerels. Theyre just pet quality but bothe are very good flock guards. They will...
I take a 25' roll of pipe heating tape and wrap my sturdy 7 gallon waterer. I just put a square of duct tape on the end down low by the spout and wrap my way up. Then I do a complete wrap to get tape on tape and move on with my life...
First off thanks for the pro vet site feed...and also your advice. Thanks both of you.
Does LIFE mean that I should never give any eggs away to friends and family? And if thats the case would I really want to be eating these myself? Let alone my family...I hope not because they are a: so yummy...
I am treating 12 birds for and upper respitory. They all got a grumble in their lungs that sounded like congestion and also began coughing. My vet said it was an upper respitory and gave me lincomycin-spectinomycin and told me how to treat. I called her to see how long I should wait to eat the...
We took some birds to our local, Fayette County, fair for the daughter to show. We have Barred Rocks.
The Cockerel we took won Best American Cockerel and then Best American.
Our single Pullet didn't so so well. She got 3rd, but her sister, who my daughters best friend showed got Best American...
I"ll trade all 6 for one pullet and drive them up to an hour in any direction. I'm runnig out of options. I don't want to have them processed or anything like that but I can't afford to feed these guys.... GUILT GUILT.... They need a good home.
I have about 6-8 Cockerels that I need to get rid of. I got a straight run with the intentions of keeping the pullets and a roo or two and weeding out the rest. Now is the time for the weeding. I tried to sell them here and on craigslist but really just want to get rid of them now. These big...
I would like to have the two wyandottes and a partridge if you could meet me somewhere near half way.. I'll check this post again monday for your answer because this is my work computer. Thanks for your time.
I have approximately 6-8 Cockerels that I would like to get rid of. I would be willing to trade them two or three for one for pullets. They are 12 weeks and big and handsome. Will be willing to drive short trips but mailing is not an option.
