Hi Boppo, I love raising chickens. I lived in the city for many years and moved to the country 20 yrs ago. With the ample acres and beautiful I had to start with chickens . They are the moving art in the landscape and they keep the heart and mind light!

Hi, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything! I’m excited over my new 24 chicks. They are doing very well and hoping good things ahead!

thanks for all the replies Someone dropped off a little kitty and the poor thing wants love. I can't bring him in my home because of my dog. However he likes the chickens and the love and food I give kitty Poe. I placed the cat inside the coop at night and they all get along. My flock are...

I used vasoline before and found bag balm in ag store tractor supply it's thicker and works much better. Your barred rock , buff orpington roosters that have the enormous combs are no good in extreme cold weather. Had to cull them because of this situation stay with the smaller comb winter...

I'm concerned with the hay situation/ I remeber the time I was a beginner at raising chickens and found out that they were eating the hay that was in the coop. They were enclosed at the time and there was major problems with bounding. I decided at that time to let them free range,, never had...

The color has no relevance . However the shape and size does. Height wise, this rooster will be the dominant one. Rockmaster

I have a 10 by 20 chicken shed and would love to add two baby lambs with them. Am I taking a risk? I do have another very small insulated concrete bldg I could place them in, probably should but I would like for all of them to be together. Any advise would be appreciated. Rockmaster:)

Thanks for all the sweet comments. there is truth behind the saying that it's better to love and to lose than to never love at all. You know whats the only regret I have is the fact the Carol Jean hatched all of the other chickens eggs. She never laid enough of her own to hatch. I tried...

I had to post this today. I started raising 6 chickens 6 yrs ago. My favorite was my little white silkie that I named Carol Jean after my mother. She was named after her because of her maternal ways. What a precious little thing, I cannot tell you how many chicks she hatched and brought to...

I sure hope everyting you did works out. I have a rooster with a toe that was injured. He had a hard time walking because of it. I noticed that it was very swollen so I worked on it asap!!!!!!!!!! With tweezers hydrogen peroxide and neosporin and started. I was nervous when it started to...

I have 3 little chicks with their mother in my basement. I noticed that one of them was peeping more than the others. I realized that it might had a little cold. Within time the chick seemed to peep or cough less often. The chick eats and drinks and plays with the other chicks. Just 2 days...

Dear Grauerholz Farm, I followed up on the info and am happy to report the the rooster is doing very well. I have replaced the duct tape twice with medicine and the dear fellow is running and eating and seems to enjoy the tape on his foot. It gives him comfort. My husband and I are delighted...

Dear chillin with my peeps, what a great story and a positive one at that. this little silkie is 5 yrs old, and do we love her. I can't tell you how many eggs she's hatched and to watch her with her brood is so wonderful. I am hoping that when the peeps hatch that the timing will be right...

Yes I can and than-you for the good news. She's a great mother. rockmaster

question, My silkie has been sitting on her eggs in her coop. The eggs should hatch in 7 days, however another hen must have pushed her out. When I visited the coop later this evening I noticed the eggs were by themselves and the silkie was in another hen box. The eggs were chilled and I...

Very good idea as long as it is outside with fresh air. Also note no fire starter brick residue in the ash highly poisionous.
