I prefer to use pine straw in my house and nest boxes cause the chickens can't see it and leave it alone and bugs don't like it. In my runs though I'm struggling to find a combination of something that works for my area. In north Ga we tend to get so much rain in late winter into early spring...

Egg candling certification anxiety! In 2 weeks I'm taking the state test for egg candling to get certified to candle eggs. In the meantime I'm studying up and learning about how an egg is graded and what an eggs various makeup and flaws consist of. But I cant help but be nervous about preparing...

I'm usually only able to spend a few hours a week with my chickens due to work but when I'm off I'll spend most of the day working on their runs and coops

Hi everyone! It's been a long while since I was on this site, I've missed it. But finally was able to get back on! So here I go! So ever since last year and the pandemic and all the shortages I've been seeing in the world around me, I've been concerned about where my food comes from and...

I feel for you, cause I'm running into raging hormones myself this year with my own flock of chickens, it's like all the boys have went wild and want to do nothing but commit rape! At the moment though I would try separating all the girls from the boys for a while, till they recoup. I'm not...

Hi, I'm currently hunting pure English buff orpingtons, but having a hard time finding any. I want some to improve my own flock of orps. Looking for hatching eggs, chicks or really what I would prefer a young pair or trio of them for breeding. Thanks so much, Brigette

Oh my goodness! The chickens on this thread are all so beautiful!

Hi everyone, Due to my original rooster's decline in health, I've recently added one of his offspring to my Orpington pin. I also recently acquired some new hens to replace my older ones in order to help switch up the bloodline, and I'm currently also hunting some good English hens to...

Your coop is so fantastic! I love the storage area you incorporated under the nest boxes, such a great ideal!

I've been trying to find printable coupons online for scratch feeds by popular brands like Purina. But have been unable to come up with any. I signed up for Purina's rewards club in hopes of being sent some coupons, but none yet. So I figured I would post here and ask around to see if anyone on...

Has anyone else on BYC had trouble with the smiley face emotion blocks? When I click the block to open the selection screen for them they won't show up, instead they show up as blank pages. Why is this?

I loved your story and I'm so happy that your venture into chicken keeping has taken off! Your story gives me hope in my own undertaking into chicken keeping, exploring the different breeds, fallling in love with a few and trying to become better in learning to breed and sell chickens.

I am sad to say that I lost my little Easter Egg chick, but the rest are better now and doing fine.

Do you have any english Buff Orpington roosters or chicks?

I hope your chicks get well. I have a few who aren't doing well at the moment too due to the wet weather. I'm praying they get well, one is one of my favorite little EE's.

I'm sorry everyone for my mistake. I meant to say English Buff Orpington rooster.
