Where is this event taking place? I probably overlooked it but didn't see location in the announcement. Paula

Don't give up on your roo yet. He's young and feeling his hormones raging. In my limited experience I've found that all of my roos have gotten aggressive to various degrees when they reached their 'teens'...around 4+ mos and eventually calmed down as long as I made sure that they knew I was...

Congrats to all the winners. They were well deserved. Your birds are beautiful.

Ok....switched the photos of my guys to Smugmug and it seems to be working. I edited my post so they show....#68 on page 7. I'll get this photo thing figured out eventually.

Quote: Well it looks like I'm going to have to move those pictures to another hosting site because Fotki must block them after the initial posting. I won't be paying for their service again!

msbear, where are you located? Those columbians are beautiful and a friend and I have both wanted one for a while now. Do you sell the eggs?

Bantyman, outstanding markings on your guys. Do you ever have eggs available from them? I love them!

Chickenlady, those are gorgeous birds!

Ok....here are my bantam frizzle house chickens. My young cochins checking out the new Key West chicks. My young frizzles checking out the baby Key West chicks Mocha (pullet) and Dusty (roo) Chief and friends Chief Black Tail...roo 7mos giver of ankle bruises Lucy...pullet 7...

Thanks. I've had that room for about 15 yrs for my parrots and finches and one Kormorner dove that I rescued. It was a natural to put pet chickens in there for the "floor" area. Little did I know when I started that many of them would NOT stay on the floor! The cochin bantams have taken over...

Quote: They don't have to be. It depends on how many you have. I thought she said she wanted 6 hens. That's not many and I know you can control the smell and dust for that many birds. If she already has a space for them in the attached barn area why build something else?

OH, that does sound horrible! I guess what I neglected to mention....and hadn't considered really....is that my birds don't go outside. They live indoors with the parrots and don't have the parasites that outdoor birds would have. Whenever I am envious of you who have cool looking coops I just...

Bossroo, I do understand what you are saying and you make good points. Renters in general don't care what they do to a property and aren't concerned if their animals trash the place. But as a homeowner I do care and have always taken care of my place. We showed dogs for 15 yrs and had as...

Quote: You know, I was worried about that too. I have 7 roosters in there and while they are young, they are all crowing full force. <g> I have had a macaw, amazon and cockatoo for 18 yrs. Compared to the vocalizations of those guys, the 7 roosters are practically silent! If you are used...

Quote: When I had chicks the smell was strong. They seemed to do nothing but poop! I had to change the bedding every day until I could get them out of the small crate and into the room with the rest of the birds. As they grew the odor was less and less of a problem.

I"m the person who posted with the house chickens..... I"m 61 yrs old and have had indoor pets all my life. I live in an 'upscale' neighborhood and have never had any problem because of my house pets. Ever. You DO have to clean regularly. It's not like having them in a barn. But they...

Mine mostly sleep on the floor but one uses a nest box about 3 ft off the floor and she uses other lower perches to get to it. Here is a shot before I put the nest box in. I"ve never seen the rooster (white one) up on the roosts. They have free run of the room and now that I have other breeds...

I have had my exotic bird room in my lower level (walkout basement where family room and kennel is) for about 18 yrs. Exotic birds poop doesn't smell so it wasn't an issue. I got my first chickens in Feb. and at first, while they were all small and pooping constantly, the smell bothered me. I...

Not sure if this would make your husband happier or not but these cute mini coops are at our zoo (Indianapolis) and are what I'd build if I could have my chickens outside. and I think they used them for rabbits....tho there were no animals in them at the time but they could be adapted for...

Quote: Agreed. Here is a shot of my 'coop'. While it's not hot in there I find my chickens waiting in line for their chance on their throne. See the picture. I've seen 2 silkies sitting on it at once....usually after they laid their eggs. I found these fans in a 2pack at Costco and they...
