I was secretly a huge fan of that realistic chicken gaming website that was in development back in like, err... was it June they started making it? Anyways, I used to send PM's every week to see what they were doing and if I could help and then one day they just... stopped responding and...

I've got a juvenile white silkie hen... and if there is one thing she likes during this Texas heat it is WATER. She loves being sprayed gently with the hose and splashing in small puddles. I've even taken her in the shower with me once and she had a ball. So she was panting this afternoon (I...

This is just a little fic-let I wrote about some of my hatchery birds. The style is watered down from the way I normally write so most can understand it and not just adults. Anyone want me to continue? It was fun writing. Don't steal this, it is my property and creation. It...

You know those swirly milk chocolate/white chocolate hershey kisses? I was eating some of those while checking my other thread and then it came to me... I want to try to make Barred Chocolate Orpingtons! I'd have to import half of the parents, though, and manage to keep some Chocolate...

As suggested by someone on my other thread, I am creating a survey to see what people would want if I imported birds from Europe, because I have realized it would be quite foolish to import birds that no one wanted. I will limit myself to a maximum of ten breeds in the first few years, if I even...

I am one of the most determined people you will ever meet. After almost three years of trying to get my ideas for my book out into the public, finally someone agreed to listen and now it is in the process of being finished and edited. This situation is no different. Although I may be young, I am...

I was SO bored that I downloaded the Sketchup from Google and designed a Japanese Temple-ish coop. I had NO IDEA how to get the roof slanted while connecting to the downwards arches, so that is something you'll have to figure out if you decide to use this I left the 'window areas' uncovered...

I was checking out a Dutch chicken website and translating it using an online translator, and everything seems to be going smoothly until I read "bearded small potatoes." The Dutch word for bantam I believe is something like "kriel", and when translating it back to English it comes up as "small...

I have this cat breeding computer game, and that is what got me into genetics and crossbreeding. I know it sounds stupid, but it is pretty fun. It teaches you to set a goal and cull heavily based on what you want this new breed to look like. My goal was: Calico pattern, long hair, lynx-type ears...

We are going to buy a good chunk of land somewhere up here near Dallas/Ft.Worth and start a small farm. When we have the basics set up (house, animal pens etc) my mother (I'm in highschool LOL not an adult yet) promised me she would let me do something like this. But I want to put a twist on...

I'm looking to create a list of ideas for what to do with extra/unwanted roosters. Anyone can contribute to this list! If you believe you have a good idea, don't hesitate to post it! Something I found roosters useful for: Keeping horses company. Both nearby ranches put a rooster in with each...

Hello! I'm trying to write a 600 page book. Only 150 more pages to go... But anyways, I'm a highschool girl living in NE TX. I love the four chickens I have and also the four cats, four finches and three dogs. How it all began: I've got horrible scoliosis (S-shaped spine) so I've got to pick...

I have two labs and a border collie. One lab is 13 years (too old to chase or even care about chickens), the collie is 6 months, and the other lab is in perfect shape at 5 or 6 years. The one I am most worried about hurting my poultry is the younger lab. He is HUGE, 105 pounds but still thin and...
