Thank you...he did such a good job. I think I will frame them actually hang in the coop haha not fair my girls can't have a "homey" feeling like I do...
Thank you all for your help. We decided to drop the number we ordered for our first time to see how it goes and if everything works out we are going to keep ordering from them :) this has been such an awesome journey so far. I have my oldest son's friends asking if they can get chickens and keep...
So back in early July my husband found an add on Craigslist for baby chicks. The location was VERY close to us so we went down and picked 8 baby chicks at $4.00 a piece. They were a mixed breed so had no idea what I got. This was my first experience with chicks period. Well with research, trial...
Listen declandj1 haha BTW for anyone who doesn't know that's my husband and YES he did turn me out to this forum. My Loki is a good boy and just isn't phased with anything that isn't me or himself lol
Sorry guys but I believe in shock collars. We've had our hands full for the last 6 months but now that things calm down and kids back in school I'm going to start training them again. This time adding some new with the old. They are still babies and much to learn. Thanks for the help though!
My middle son Declan sat next to the pink plastic container which held our sweet, fluffy 8 baby chicks the day we brought them home and drew each chick by hand. If you look closely he tried his hardest to find something different about each one to make them all stand out. We got them July 9th...
Oh she did. This wasn't her first time. We had 7 chickens and within the first week she killed 2 then a few weeks later she killed 3 or so I thought when I woke the next morning one was still alive.
This is my first time with a Barred Rock and I think they are great! I am in love with the colors they have and how their feathers are so fluffy. Sometimes we can be a little aggressive when it comes to food, but this can be do to age, clout and well hungry like any other animal.
That's what I thought to. hmmm I know you can't have multiple roosters so I should get more hens huh? Well maybe I can wait to see if any of the babies are hens. Geez, can't they make it easy to sex like idk pink or blue haha
I thought I'd share a story I wrote on the FB Backyard Chickens page...this post was from July 21st.
I with a heavy heart tonight have write ya'll something amazing. As I leave my husband in bed (who just got in a motorcycle accident tonight) with 2 of our 3 boys to watch Minions and rest...
Hello! I'm new to the BYC but have had my chickens for about 2 months now. We started the babies off inside about 4 days old and when they got to be about a month we transitioned them to the coop outside with a small heating lamp in the their plastic bin, we'd take them out for a little and...
In the above picture the first 3 are the remaining older chickens I have left (2 NH Reds, 1 Barred Rock). I know it's not to clear of a photo but do I have 2 roosters and 1 hen? I was reading up on how to try to sex them by using their feet and the top of the heads but I can't say 100% sure I'm...
Hey Ya'll,
So I need some help. I have been rattling my brains for a month now to come up with a cute, crazy, chic coop name but no such luck. I really liked Chicken Little (well because I am little only 4'9 and have chickens haha) but need something after it that just sounds smooth. I would do...
