I let my sister-in-law keep one chick from our last fibro project hatch and it ended up being a handsome young cockerel. This is Prunie. He's not attempted crowing yet, likes hanging out on shoulders and is free to a good home. Beaverton area. Willing to drive to surrounding area to rehome.

This is Leo, a 9mo Mosaic Roo from Gold Feather Farms. He ended up not making the cut for my pens, but is still a serviceable gentlemen for a new coop and is 100% free to anyone in the PDX area. Not a big fan of red clothes/shoes and will chest bump to show his disapproval of your attire...

I was missing the "high" of chicken tending now that I'm back at work and decided to set 18 eggs at the beginning of Feb. Hatch day was yesterday, and of course I got called in to work, so I have no idea who came out of what egg, but so far there are 12 puffballs running around the brooder. I'm...

This last year was total craziness for folks trying to find chicks and chickens. I'm wondering if there will be another big rush, or if I can postpone an order for later in the Spring. What are your predictions?

Well I feel like a big 'ol idiot. I found a project breeder with good fibro in their birds and lucky me they had 2 pullets available for immediate pick-up today! I neglected to look over the birds thoroughly due to circumstances (busy parking lot and poor air quality), and brought them home to...

HEADS UP: this is a long post with lots of pics. I'm treating this more as a journal/journey than a "quick update" thing and will post the first few "chapters" over the next few days. If you like to read about boring things then by all means continue... Chapter 1: the Long Beginning that My...

I purchased some Barbezieux (from GFF line) chicks that hatched June 6th, and I'm ashamed to admit that it was only yesterday that I realized one of the pullets was not like the other ones... Her lobes are red as opposed to white, more yellowing on her feet and overall more "round" body...

I have 2 Mosaic cockerels that are ready to find new flocks to run with. Hatched June 6th and are from GFF. Deep blue skin under feathers and will pass on their fibro genes, so if you're looking for blue/black skinned birds then these guys will do the trick! They haven't found their voices yet...

Howdy! I'm in Oregon, and while I haven't personally been affected by the fires (aside from smoke, but that's nationwide at this point), I have friends and family who have lost their homes, their belongings and their pets/livestock. While many people won't be able to return to any "normal"...

Lots of folks are under evacuation notices right now and I've had multiple family and friends displaced down south. Here are a couple things I've seen people posting about as they get their chickens secure for travel: 1. If you are not being evacuated, but worried about the smoke/ash with...

I've got a few Mosaics that are nearing 3 months (born June 6th). As they're relatively a new breed, and an unrecognized hobby breed at that, there's not a lot of standardization yet. As such, I'm trying to determine if one of my cockerels is a runt, and if so if it's due to any factors I can...

Our head hen passed today (a very dumb misdiagnosis from myself and an overly enthusiastic remedy applied by my husband), and we're wondering when the remaining gals will figure out her absence and the shift in pecking order will occur. She was in quarantine for one day and we don't have any...

I recently picked up some 5-6 week old chicks from a nearby seller and the day after noticed the telltale signs of coccidiosis in one of the chicks: puffed up feathers, lethargy and bloody/mucus-y poo. All chicks are now on day 4 of Corid in their water, and while the first chick to exhibit...
