    My Chicks Eat Christmas... Trees that is!

    We have a 60 year old pine in our side yard and the top fell off in the recent blizzard. Even though its main branch was bigger around then most of the trees in our yard (I needed two hands around it to get a good grip) I managed to drag it into the chicken pen figuring the girls would hide in...

    The last SLW hens I had stopped laying in the winter but these new girls (almost a yr old now) have continued to lay so far. I'm pretty impressed! And SO friendly!!

    I loved these birds but all 3 I had turned out to be roos. I would love to get some more in the future.

    Review by '' on item 'Leghorn'

    My husband wanted leghorns in the worst way. They were a late addition to our flock but they blend in just fine. They seem small although I was told they were often used as meat birds. They lay beautiful white eggs and (so far) have kept up laying well into winter.

    I have 6 wyandottes- one male, one gold laced and 4 silver laced. I chose them because of how they looked (as we live in a historic farmhouse and are trying to recreate the look of a 19th century farm). I have no complaints- they have a great temperment and they lay eggs regularly.

    Review by '' on item 'Cochin'

    I have one cochin left (**** fox). She is TINY compared to the rest of our flock (that she raised). They are GREAT chickens as pets since they are so friendly. She sits on my shoulder when I'm in the coop and she sings to me! Soft as silk and so friendly! If we didn't have suck a big rooster I'd...

    Review by '' on item 'Star'

    I picked these chickens because I KNEW I'd be getting girls (because of the color difference). They're great layers but a teeny bit aggressive. They tend to peck me when I'm in there with food or water and they have pecked visitors before. They aren't bad- it's not like I'd get rid of them, but...

    Love my Buffy's. They are a large seemingly hearty breed and they are great layers. I'd like to either invest in a few more or breed them.

    Review by '' on item 'Ameraucana'

    I have 5 Ameraucana's that I bought to help replenish our flock last spring. I had no idea they would have the "beard" feature (or what my husband calls mutton chops). Their green eggs are a big hit with my customers. I plan on investing in some more this spring because they are great layers and...

    letting hen hatch the eggs?

    I have a similar question that doesn't seem to have been answered here (maybe it has and I'm just not seeing it). I've had chickens, ducks and goats for a few years now but I've never had a rooster or hatched chicks. One of our pullets ended up being a roo last year so we kept him thinking we...

    efowl.com offering free shipping

    I thought McMurray was high, and they had that minimum order too. PurelyPoultry had great deals, you could order just 1 of each if you wanted and shipping was 40$. I've just never bought LIVE animals and had them shipped before. Will they be ok- even in Feb in New England or will half of them be...

    What breed AND sex are these 3? Lots of photos

    Yup- That's my boys! Well, I kept one and the other two went to a farm a few towns over. They'll have 40 chickens to play with so they shouldn't fight anymore (I went out Sunday morning and in pure Stephen King style,one had blood all over his "chin"! ) I'm now on to purchasing chicks. Anyone...

    BYC members in Massachusetts?

    I have a question for all you MA chicken lovers out there. I'm looking into buying chicks from PurelyPoultry.com and was wondering if anyone has done so? They are in Wisconsin so I'm worried about shipping live chicks to MA in February and even though they ask what sex you want, besides...

    What breed AND sex are these 3? Lots of photos

    Thanks everyone. They are ABSOLUTELY roosters as they crowed this morning! Well, at least one did that I saw but I went to my local feed store to get my weekly supplies this morning and they had their chicks in for spring purchase. The pictures of the Brahma roo looked kinda like them so I...

    ? on Muscovies

    I adopted 8 muscovies and they are afraid of us. The 2 females were killed by a fox so I only have the 6 males left. I was hoping to breed them and raise some duckies that ARENT afraid of people. They do come running when they see me (I'm usually bearing treats) but they stay just out of arms...

    What breed AND sex are these 3? Lots of photos

    I was given 3 chickens by a teacher who hatched them in her preschool class as a spring project. She had no idea what kind of chickens they were but she said she had them checked out and they were all hens. I got them when they were about 4-5 weeks old (they still had downy feathers and were...
