We bought a few bantams from Atwoods in Clarksville. We also bought some chicks from their heavy bin as well. We bought 50 total but these have us really stumped. There are 8 chicks below with 2 pics of each one. The first 6 are bantams the last two are heavies. I think we have a lot of...
Oh my goodness y'all we are SOOOO excited!!! Fluffenbutter, my 9-month-old bantam cochin, went broody a few weeks ago. We put 5 fertile eggs under her and she hatched her first one this afternoon!!!!! I am about to cry I'm so proud of her. She is the best little mommy so far. Now, I have a...
We got our first green egg today. The pictures didn't turn out quite the way we wanted but the green one is in the middle. We were very surprised today to find it. At first I thought our two white leghorns had laid 3 eggs until I got the green one in the light. We also have an EE roo who...
We have a couple of 9 month old PR's. Laverne and Shirley, Shirley has been laying for a couple of months now. Laverne has yet to start but seems to be getting close with her pelvic bones being 2 to 3 fingers apart now and almost pliable with a big red comb. Shirley has been laying every day...
On Sept. 18th we bought some chicks at an Atwoods near where we live. We were told they came from Ideal from the employees there. We bought 3 straight run bantams ( 2 Silkies and one Cochin ). Then we bought 6 banded pullets. We were told 2 EE's , 1 BO, 1 BR and a white and dark Cornish...
Went outside today to check for eggs about an hour before dark. I noticed one of our White Leghorns laying in the nesting box. When I turned it around I noticed she was dead. She had laid an egg yesterday in fact our three WL usually lay almost every day. She had shown no signs of being...
We bought some chicks from Atwoods here in Arkansas on 9-18-10. We bought 3 straight run bantams. Two silkies (black and splash) and one buff cochin. We bought two EE's, BR, BO and then what the store clerk told us was a white cornish and a dark cornish. All of these were tagged as pullets...
I have a rehomed Welsummer and a Wheaton EE. The Welsummer has laid an egg on average of every other day. The EE however was in the beginning stages of molting. We've had them for about a month and a half. The EE has never laid an egg which I know is normal. However, we noticed that her...
Yesterday, three boards of our privacy fence (neighbor's side) were torn down by 10 of our neighbor's dogs. (They have 13) They killed two of our Pekins and one of our Black Runners before we could get them out of our yard. Our last Pekin was bitten on the back and possibly has two broken...

We have an SLW hen who started crowing today when our only rooster ( White Leghorn ) started learning to crow only a few days ago. He would sound out and then she started to do it. She is the biggest hen and has ran the yard for a while. However, she won't be old enough to lay until August...
Here is my only Guinea. We did have two to start with but the other ran off under our deck and never came out? The guinea I believe is a male going off of the sound he makes. He just does the chit sound and doesn't make the buck wheat sound? He hangs out with our only rooster in the...
My husband and I live in Russellville, Arkansas. We recently bought a house that has an acre privacy fenced in for a backyard and half an acre for a front yard. We live in the country, but on a circle with lots of houses. We started off with 6 hens from TSC. 3 white Leghorns, 1 Silver Laced...
We have bought quite a few ducks from Atwood's recently. Our first purchase turned out to be 4 Pekin ducks. We have purchased Guineas from them which of course were easy to figure out. However, we purchased some black ducks from them a few weeks ago and we're not really sure what is their...
