    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Yes, I'm hoping to pheasant hunt, do barn hunt trials and do obedience with it.... we will see which stick the best. All of it depends on if the pup enjoys it. I'm pretty excited and hopeful though it could be a couch potato too and I'd be just as happy haha

    Define “free range”

    I am not sure about this. I have a few girls...probably 10 out of the 20. That just wonder everywhere. I've found Ethel in my neighbor's back pasture 10 acres away lol! That may just be that she's a nut and oddball chicken. Norma Jean, Betty and Silvia have all wondered much farther than 300...

    Limpy rooster

    From looking at the pictures and reading the description seems like a varus deformity it wasn't obvious until he was full grown though or almost full grown. Possibly slight enough to not be noticed until he was much older because as a chick he was good.

    Limpy rooster

    Sadly, we ended up putting him down. We had him checked over by our vet who thankfully lives 3 houses down. No Mereck's no disease. The vet put it down to possibly having giantism or growing to fast for his joints to keep up. We did butcher him and his left hock joint was excessively stretched...

    8.5 week Silkie x Ameraucana or Legbar chicks - please help me guess gender and parentage

    Ah I see...so crowing soon. Your hen is gorgeous! Wonderful cream legbar colors too. The little mohawk legbars have always make me think they need a leather jacket with spikes like little punk rockers 😂.

    I knew my husband was done with snow...he's from upstate new york...but I miss it since we have moved to the south. I will say though I'm super happy we chose not to move back up near his family because they got feet of snow!(they aren't far from Buffalo)

    8.5 week Silkie x Ameraucana or Legbar chicks - please help me guess gender and parentage

    I am unsure if this is a boy or not. We have two Ameracuna hens that looked quite similar...so much so I thought for certain one was a roo. Idk they are just funny colored ladies they lay pretty blue eggs.
