    Booswalias Chicken Coop

    Just Getting Started. I retired in May this year, 2009, and decided to try out a new hobby. Chickens. This may be a slow work in progress because I have little to no experience with construction and I'm pretty much on my own to do it. I started out with a pen that I used to use for Buddy, the...

    Two New Hens

    Thanks. That's great to hear. So far I've gotten an egg a day from each one. These girls are egg laying machines. YES!

    Two New Hens

    I have two new hens in my small flock. I'm just not sure what they are. Rhode Island Reds maybe? And I must say... it's not easy getting a good picture of a chicken. I've been photographing birds for a number of years and, for me, chickens are hands down one of the most challenging bird to...

    Talk About Frustrating

    Thanks for the egg vibes. This whole thing has been a comedy or errors since it began. I'm not one to give up easily though.

I started out with 3 hens (2 delawares and a white rock) The 2 delawares gave me lots of eggs for quite a while until they went into a molt for about 5 months. The white rock has given me many headaches, but about...

    Trying to determine Delware gender

    Also, I can see in the last one, with the dark marking between the shoulders, being a cockerel, but what are you seeing in the the other two possible cockerels?

    Trying to determine Delware gender

    This is Biscuit, Omlet, and Noodle. I got them from a fellow who breeds show birds. Trying to figure out what I have here... This one is Dumpling. I'm not sure that this one is even a Delaware. It's about 5 days older than the others.

    Stop chicks from getting bedding in their water

    I'm afraid I don't understand your setup, Roslyn. I have my waterer sitting on a 1 inch high block of wood and the chicks just kick the the shavings onto it and then into the water. Maybe I need to see a photo.

    Galanie; if you put your face in their fluff they'll probably poop on ya. They are pooping machines. Ha! They're just lucky they're cute.

    How do you travel with chicks

    Everybody is home safe and sound. I even have names for them already. Dumpling is the original chick and the three new ones are Biscuit, Omlet, and Noodle.
