    Grossly Overfed? What's this, the Soup Kitchen for Chickens and Ducks?

    Thanks for the Heads Up, Mechanic 57! Breed? Well...the three older "Reds" are Rhode Island Reds, I'm told. I have two whites (Heinz 57?) Not really sure, and one Copper/Gold colored, but one of the Whites gives us beautiful Green Eggs which I'm told are low Cholesterol Eggs. Cool. And the...

    How cold can chickens handle in this coop?

    Thanks for your wise thoughtful comment, I appreciate that. The responsibility rests solely on my shoulder for this overfeeding. My darling is a Care Giving Lady and she wants NOTHING or NOBODY to do without and feeds them liberally....She gets up WAY BEFORE I do and goes out to let them out and...

    Grossly Overfed? What's this, the Soup Kitchen for Chickens and Ducks?

    Lord Help us IGNORAMUSES! I've been feeding my seven chickens 200 lbs of food a month! 4 Fifty Pound Bags! Not to mention one or two 50's of Corn! My Darling feeds them in the morning, bless her generous heart, and I go to buy the feed! She insists that they are nearly starving to death! We...

    North Carolina joins the band of Controlling Back Yard Chickens

    The larger problem, as I see it, is . C O N T R O L and P O L I T I C S as usual. I believe that the Big Brother is creating diseases that hardly exist but another ploy to seize control of the average person. Unfortunately it doesn't begin or stop here but blends itself with every facet of our...

    North Carolina joins the band of Controlling Back Yard Chickens

    Hello y'all Chicken Lovin' Folk! :-) Ok, I'm not one to spend much time on this Puter thang! It's NOT my social life! But like any other tool it certainly has its perks. But a heads up on North Carolina for Back Yard Chicken owners, in some counties I'm hearing that the FOOD AND DRUG...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    Hello Tiela, nice story, thanx. There are some, unfortunately, who shouldn't HAVE animals, children or anybody else for that matter. Everything and everybody around them is in touch with their inner rage. I have absolutely no time, as a man, for anyone who is abusive, period. To children...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    Hello Deerfield Acres! Well worth it.....they're so happy and playful bunch. They certainly form their own code of ethics, that's for sure, a very strict one when you watch closely. They're extremely communal. Rascals figured a way to wiggle their hineys through my gate/fence at the driveway...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    As a Novist in Chickenology 101 a daily part of my life has become full of new surprises, amazement and bewilderment at the same time! This wonderful experience is all new to me and it seems that each day has a unique surprise of its own! My whole entire lifetime must have been hidden under a...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    You're absolutely correct Deerfield, Animals are just that, animals and roam wherever their nose and/or instincts lead them, and they quickly spot a friendly animal lover! It's just a sixth sense with them to intuitively draw near people with a kind heart for animals. It's the OWNERS of these...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    That was a really nice and very appropriate reply and I enjoyed the read! :-) Sometimes I wonder if us Humans aren't just arrogant enough to think that other life forms around us aren't communicating in one way or the other. We smile at occasions such as we described, because animals...

    My Rooster gave a hen directions on how to get over the fence!

    A Kodak Moment, LOST! One of my hens, roaming freely around our yard, decided that the grass was greener on the other side of the 200 foot chain link fence, and flew her behind over it! After chasing her for nearly three quarters of an hour, I finally gave up, planning to try again later as...

    A boody egg in the nest! Ok?

    HI, I"m "John Henry Jr" named after my Rooster! It's my first time raising these delightful birds. They're a Hoot to watch! But to the point; I get about four eggs a day from four hens so hearing from others, I consider myself (and them) very blessed. Today, as I fed them and gathered the...

    The hens are feeding me well, how do I feed them well, 4 hens one Rooster

    As a very recent chicken raiser I have a host of questions. I usually learn by the seat of my britches, but these concerns are vital for my chicks. Don's ask me what kind they are, they were given to me but this rooster (the third in less than one year) :-( is black and silver. Jolly Ol'...
