Yall are awesome ... we are, she is the slowest and the easiest to pick up for the kids. Hence the favorite.

We have a flock of Easter Eggers .... the little one is Pip. Short for Pipsqueak. She was always sitting down as a chick, and is certainly smaller than the rest. I know chickens are not known for their excess intelligence, but Pip seems astounding behind that curve. Other than not "catching...

Thank you ... okay, any possiblity that the EE roos are a quiet bunch?

awesome. any takers? Well, they are Loaded Baked Potato and Rear Admiral Cluck. Any luck Easter Eggers Roos don't crow? Sheesh. And thank you .... we do think they are pretty .... all different.

All Easter Eggers - Look at Top Right 2 EEs

Thank you for posting this. We just found this with one of our chicks.

Jacksonville said they really don't care unless there is a problem with neighbors, but he suggested no roosters, noting that roosters are not needed for eggs. (Since he offered that on his own, I figure that misconception is still out there).

I have read that apple cores are bad. It's the seeds. Just a note, they LOVE tomatoes. An tomato leaves.

We didn't have an issue going overbudget, but it was exhaustively planned and executed. We used a sturdy wood fence for support on the backside and to block some of the sound from our neighbors on that side. We did know of someone who put baby chicks into a playpen in the backyard, upset...

So this morning, we were able to do things we really wanted to do with our pets. It was cold and wet, so we brought our Silver Laced Wyandottes and Buff Orptingtons inside for a spa session. Thanks to paying attention to the posts here, we were able to find which breed really fit our family of...

Any thoughts on mosquitos? I heard that our area has test chickens that they draw blood to check for mosquito carried diseases (like West nile) to smple for the human population .... not a lot of humans volunteering for random blood draws.

Tee hee hee ... after telling the children that the chickies were fine outside, and NO we weren't going to go check on them, Hubs and I snuck out at 9:30 to see how they were doing. We were week and after losing one last year, are a little paranoid about losing one this year.

Could you rig a temporary pen in the area you want decimated? I find my chickens bruttaly maul just about any plant. If they don't like it, they just rip it apart and leave it for dead.

Thanks, Greencastle

I didn't think of it, but I guess I need to change my name?? I am not really sure if I am comfortable with that yet.

Hmm. We are in Florida and we were concerned keeping them any longer in the garage would over heat them. So they are out at 3 weeks ... well, 4 weeks. But, I don't know that we have any roaming coyotes ... just a declawed tailless cat from next door.

Quote: ooh! Love those!!

Hmm. I wonder how I can fit 6 more chicks in next spring.
