Once Faith, ISA Brown, got into the house she had to check EVERYTHING out!

My ISA Brown Faith was always exploring. Was hard to keep her from getting into trouble. Here she is looking for the treats.

Here is my sweetie Faith, an ISA Brown. She was a silly girl, always getting into something and was so curious.

I've been using construction sand in my 4x8 secure run that is under roof for 6 years. I rake every other day and sift the sand to get the poop and uneaten food, and other debris out every other week. I find that I have to remove old sand every two years as it eventually collects enough dirt...

Find yourself a carpenter or handyman with good carpentry skills. Google chicken coop plans and pictures and find one or two that appeal to you. A coop built with 2x4's and 1/2 or 1/4 inch hardware cloth will last you decades where the TS coops may last two years and tear up easily. Put 2x4#...

Get an Ameraucana. My girl lays the prettiest bright blue eggs and is my feathered puppy. She loves to be held and spends lots of time in my lap when I sit down outside to spend time with my flock. She's even laid a few eggs in my lap!

I'm sorry you have to deal with a nasty neighbor. Maybe they'll move soon. I was lucky with my next door neighbor. The town ordinance dictates that the coop and run have to be 10 feet from the property line. When the animal control officer came to inspect my coop before I was granted a...

I have several ways to name my chickens. I've named some after a relative (Lillian, Steeve, and Marilyn) a favorite friend (Thela), favorite food (Cookie, Sassafrass aka Sassy) the breed (Lacie for a silver laced Wyandotte), plus a nod to the Lord (Faith and Grace).

Good suggestions for relieving a muddy run. Luckily I do not have too severe a problem with mud. I have a small 4' x 8' coop and run and I have a 10' x 10' pop up tent with windowed sidewalls that I install in the winter. During the summer the tent keeps the rain off of most of the extra...

Here's my little Buddy, age 6 hours, taken 1/11/20. Cross between Banty Cochin hen and Standard Silkie Rooster

I have not deliberately set up a breeding project, my house rooster, a splash Silkie, and my house hen, a Sicillian Buttercup, decided that on their own. Marilyn went broody and is sitting on two eggs, one she stole from my other house hen, a black banty Cochin. So far the eggs appear to be...
