I found this on etsy today and thought I would share it. I'm not going to order it so have at it if you like it. Not sure what breed it is, if any.

I pulled out their pedigrees to see if my girls are related. They are! They are cousins on their mother's side.

The flooding where I am at was all in designated flood areas (as far as I know). The city has planned well for this type of thing. I added up all the rainfall totals at my house and got 20.7" of rain in May. No chicks for me this year. I tried a duckling but discovered I am allergic to...

Did you get the chicks? @hungnguyen - Did your wife and son arrive safely?

I sold the 5 bantam Cochins and have the 4 Delaware left. They are getting big! A few of them are perching some and they try to fly. I think 3 of them are cockerels. They are all going to a new home tomorrow. I'm going to start buying wood a few pieces at a time to build a coop and maybe...

That is a good point. Thanks for pointing that out. I want more ventilation than this one has too so we are working on modifying it some. My chicks are already trying to roost. One treats the branch like a tight rope and walks down it and they are trying to fly some too! They aren't even 2...

I'm still trying to figure out a chicken coop. I spoke with a guy today to get an estimate and discovered having someone build my coop is expensive! I did find another idea though and this one saves money. :) I may go with this design. It will give them more room to run around too. I can put...

I didn't know there was a funny chicken contest. I'll have to look for it.

Look what I made for an assignment on Nat Geo Your Shot. :)

I lost one of the Delaware chicks of the weekend. I'm not sure why. It was one of smaller chicks. The smallest Del too. It was drinking but not eating unless it could get something from the mouth of another chick. Really odd. I tried giving it honey water but in the end it didn't help. It was...

Oh my goodness! He got so big so fast! He is just too cute. :)

@harley1975 @TexasLisa @A1momof3 @ClovisMan @lovingmyhens @hungnguyen Where have you been? You have been missed. Come see all the news. :)

Here it is lined with cardboard. My 10 bantams arrived yesterday afternoon. :) They are so tiny and the brooder is so huge for them!

Thanks! They came from Welp Hatchery. Brynn did a group order for people. :) Thank you Brynn! Thank you :) I am getting LF chicks in April or May. I'm on a waiting list for eggs and I am going to time out their hatching with additional chicks. I'm glad it will be warm enough to brood them...

My chicks came today! I have 5 bantam buff cochins and 5 bantam Delaware. I will only be keeping 2-4 of them though - had to meet the minimum to order them. Delaware One of each Cochin Del All of them :) Fluffy butt They love this toy. It has shells at the bottom and a bell to...

I have read so many conflicting articles on the use of sand in the coop/run for chickens. Some say it is great (as long as it isn't play sand) and others say it carries Ecoli, or is bad to use. I am setting up a coop/run area with a bigger run area attached to it. The largest run will have...

Thanks. :) Yes, they like toys. Adult chickens do too. I got this feedback on another site: I use the same setup and yes, you need cardboard around the edge before you start using bedding. Some will still escape no matter what, mostly at the door. We put cardboard around the inside and zip...

My brooder is huge! It's 48"x30" and 32.5" high. It's my dog's old kennel. I screened it in so the chicks can't escape. I have a heat plate (from Premier), water bottle (from Premier) and food dish (reamer). And some toys. I put the spongy shelf liner on the tray to start with and will...

My brooder. It's huge! It's 48"x30" and 32.5" high. It's Sasha's old kennel. I screened it in so the chicks can't escape. I have a heat plate (from Premier), water bottle (from Premier) and food dish (reamer). And some toys. I'm doing FF. I got a really cute 1 gallon glass jar that looks...

The bantam chicks are due to arrive this Friday!!!!!!!! The LF chicks will be coming sometime in April/May. I am on a wait list for some Altsteirer eggs and I am not sure when they will come. I'm ordering SFH eggs with them too. I'm going to time the rest of the chicks I want with their...
