    I have a very confused hen.....

    Hey everyone. We have a RIR hen that has started mounting/trying to mate with my cochin. (I know she's a hen since we have 8 hens and were getting 8 eggs a day in the fall. The RIR was one of our first layers.) We went out of town for a couple weeks, and when we got back the cochin had a bald...

    free range vs. not?

    Quote: I would strongly suggest you get three, not two. Chickens are flock animals and very sociable amongst themselves. If you get only two and goodness forbid, something were to happen to one of them you'd be left with a very lonely chicken on your hands. Uh ohhh... Do I see some...

    How red were your pullets wattles when she started to lay?

    My chickens combs and wattles are like the others'. Very red. Also, so far mine have layed about a week and a half to 2 weeks after the first slight squat. I noticed the closer they get to laying, the harder they.... ahem... hunker down hehe. They will also start to squat when just startled...

    Wish we could free-range :(

    I have several different types.. California Whites, EE, BO, large Cochins, RIR, and a Wellsummer. I like the tractor idea... how would I herd them in and out of it? Lure them with treats maybe? And I did try the cabbage idea, they loved it! I actually put a whole head in there I've just seen...

    Wish we could free-range :(

    Hey all, I've been wishing that we could free-range our chickens, but unfortunately we have a fairly small backyard, and a 6-foot fence that some of the chickens could surely fly over. I wouldn't worry so much about them flying over the north fence, but if they flew over the south fence, they'd...

    Framing Cabinet Doors

    Hey everyone. I've been interested in framing my cabinet doors. I heard there was an episode on hgtv or somewhere on how to do this by using 1 x 2's or something, and then painting them. Does anyone know where I might find this episode or instructions? Has anyone here done this themselves? Thanks!
