Moving back to PA has been such a blessing. I can have chickens once again! (it's been 7 years in NH. I could not have chickens there. So these are Lavender Orpingtons. There are no chicks around and the hatcheries are sold out. So I drove to Winchester VA to pick up some hemp bedding. No one...

My last post was in 2015. I haven't been to this site very often since I moved to NH where I could no longer have chickens etc.... I hope to be thrilled. I am moving to Shippensburg PA. I am told that they have chickens there. We leave in two weeks! I am going to add a run to the exhisting shed...

No more chickens here in Fl. Sold the house. And now we are headed to Berlin New Hampshire. Very excited about seeing the change in seasons again. The only problem is. I noticed there is an ordinance in Berlin that no chickens are allowed. So how far out of the city limits do I have to be to...

My dog started going nuts so I let her out. She went straight for the coop. Thats when I saw two dogs inside the penned area. But everything was closed shut! How? I thought I had them trapped but they got ou. Not sure how yet. But the golden retriever had a chicken in his mouth. And the other...

I need some royal palm turkey hens if you have em. I will do eggs too but only if I can pick them up. Not having too much luck incubating shipped eggs. I live in Trenton Florida but willing to make the drive. I have a truck/trailer so picking them up is not an issue. Free would be awesome...

I got this turkey today. I am told he is only a couple days old. So I purchased him along with two crested ducklings. But I noticed on the way home that he sleeps ALOT!. I thought that when I got him home after some water and food he would be fine. But he stumbles to walk and wont keep his head...

I don't know how long she's been there. But I always go out to check on them at dusk. And I noticed one missing. All then hens and roosters were there. So was the turkey and chicks. Except for one. Its getting dark....I run outside to see if she's alive. Maybe a predator or older aggresive...

Momma is a Barred Rock. Daddy came from my Easter Eggers. Americauna/Aracauna. Whatever you call it. None of my birds have feathered feet. What!? How???

I have 2 barred rocks who are the same age. One is laying just fine. Really nice brown eggs. But the other is trying to keep up with the flock but falls over on her side and sits down alot. She looks inbalanced. Like she is carrying a weight on one side of her body. Recently (Just before this...

So here I am. At the library 12 miles from the house. I only have a minute. Thought I'd let you know you won't be hearing from me for a while. OK...OK....You can stop cheering now..... It will take a while before I can come back to the library. But I am on my way home to try to fix it. Wish...

I have a 3 month old roo, One of four Buff Orpington Roos who thinks he's all that and a bag of feed too! Lately when I go into the pen he comes around me trying to intimidate and scare me. Sometimes he'll peck me! "Hey! I'm not your hen! I tell him." Is the best way to make him submissive to me...

OK. So I'm hatching some white and buff orps. The buffs look buff. But the white. A whole other story. They look greyish in color and white on the back. As they dry up a little better I'll post some pictures. But I'm beginning to get really worried about the breed. Help me out ok? Notice all...

What a little egg! I suppose I shouldn't let it hatch should I. I sure don't want to eat it. But I might just take the insides out very carefully by poking a tiny hole at the ends and blowing it out. Then I will be able to save this little gem!

I ordered 12 buff and 12 white Orpinton. She sent me that plus 3 more. You know what? Not only were they so nicely bubble wrapped, but they were so cushioned by the bubble wrap that 3 eggs got out and NONE were broken! And then to make things even better, She marked every egg so that I know...

I bought some eggs on ebay. I was worried because I can't pay her until tomorrow. She was really nice and informed me not to worry 'cause most hatcheries prefer eggs to sit 6 days before incubating. What's your opinion. Either way I am taking those eggs. 12 white & 12 buff Orpingtons

I took 19 of my birds and their babies to the flea market yesterday. People started to collect. But a man came and gave me $90.00 for all of them . Including the boys. So hubby let him have them and so did I but I regret it now. You see I am pretty certain he is gonna slaughter them. All of...

I went looking for another forum that dealt with mostly turkeys. (Having turkey poult drama)...anyway. I found one. So I excitedly registered and posted. I told them how great it was to meet people who were specifically into turkey and how I looked forward to their expertise. You know...

What can I do? My little baby was doing fine. But an hour ago she started squinting. Now one eye is closed and the other seem ok but squints periodically. Right now I'm hand feeding her chick feed until I can get something better. The feed store here only sell 50lb bags. But she seems unhappy...
