    June 15, 2010- I grew up with chickens, my husband did not. To be honest, I wasn't particularly fond of them... probably because of a rather nasty rooster we had that would chase me every chance he was given. Our chickens were providers of eggs and meat and while we treated them well, they were...

    Pic of the babies!

    Cute babies! We have one BR, one RIR, one BO, and one Australorp. Our BR is actually the quietest of the bunch, unless the others are going the wrong direction and she's calling to them to get them back in line (she is definitely the leader!). She's also our sweetest, tamest girl. The others...

    How do you post photos?

    Quote: Try emailing them to yourself, then saving the files in jpeg format (right click/ save as/ assign file name and choose jpeg extension). Good luck.

    Well, I'm hooked....

    Cute chicks, and love the Star Wars-themed names! My son, also a Star Wars fan, named his chick Princess Leia N'Egg. That kid cracks me up. Glad to know there are other Jedi chicks out there! Enjoy you babies and your new addiction.

    :( so sad

    So sorry to hear your sad news. We went through the same thing yesterday with our little Rhode Island Red. It's hard, especially with the kids.

    So sad...Lost our first baby! (Update with semi-happy ending)

    Thanks, everyone. I'm a newbie here and I am so overwhelmed (in a good way) by the compassion of this group. Thanks for helping us through this and letting us know we're normal for reacting so strongly. You all are the best.

    Proud new parent needs to show off babies

    Quote: The amber chick is a Rhode Island Red. I know there are other breeds with similar coloring. I'll bet if you post some pictures on the forum, the experts around here can help you sort them all out. Good luck with your new babies, and enjoy! (Unfortunately, I lost my RIR this morning )

    So sad...Lost our first baby! (Update with semi-happy ending)

    We just got our first chicks early last week and started posting on here a few days ago. I have been surprised at how attached we have become to the little fuzzy butts. This morning the unthinkable happened. Our nephew is visiting for the weekend. We had taken our girls out to the run to enjoy...

    Proud new parent needs to show off babies

    Is it just me, or are these babies beautiful? Ironically, if I had heard "beautiful" and "chicken" in the same sentence a few months ago, I would have been calling someone crazy. So call me crazy!

    Newbie question: leaving chicks with sitter while out of town

    Thanks, and good point. I do want to make it as easy for him as possible, although he's always been very good about taking care of our animals while we're away. Last spring he stayed up all night to deliver a litter of beagle pups for us when I had to be out of town for a school trip and the...

    Newbie question: leaving chicks with sitter while out of town

    Yes, I know. We're awful chicken parents. Are babies are only a week old and we're already planning a trip out of town. Shameful, I know. Here's the question: My younger brother will be watching our little flock while we are gone. Would it be better to keep them here at home and have him...

    Show off your chicken names!!!

    Our RIR is named Lucy (after Lucille Ball, of course), we have Cookie (an Australorp) and Lola (Buff Orpington). But my favorite name has to be my son's BR: Princess Leia N'Egg. (and, in case you were wondering, this is what a tiny Jedi chicken looks like!)

    From my grandparents farm to my backyard (aka our $11.45 coop)

    Although I grew up on a small farm with chickens, goats, sheep, etc, my husband and I are total newbies at the backyard chicken raising adventure. We spent hours and hours pouring over coop designs on this forum before we set about building our own. We knew we wanted nesting boxes that can be...

    Hello and Thanks from Oregon!

    Our family is new to chicken raising (except for me... I grew up on a small farm) and we have four girls that were hatched on June 7. Cookie is an Australorp, Princess Leia N'Egg (aka Princess) is a Barred Rock, Lola is a Buff Orpington, and Lucy is a Rhode Island Red. They all have very...
