just ordered a incubater friday and one of my hens went to nest today. i guess i will have a bunch of chicks this year!!

it's hard to tell who is laying and who's not in my flock. it's a free range deal here. the hen house is closed at night, but they go in and out as they please during the day. i work second shift,so i'm only here in the morning.

please help, i went to the coop to let my hens out,and one was still on the perch. she was not willing to come out. her wings were drooping. when i picked her up a lot of very watery stuff came out her vent. she is unwilling to eat or drink,but seems alert. i have her in a crate now,and she is...

i have a small spring creek running along my piece of earth,and you should see the chickens fight over a crawfish. yummie!!

way way too much government in our everyday lives!!! they like to treat us like little kids that don't have a clue. if we can eat and sell the eggs from our chickens why can't we do the same with milk?

so i get the BYC newsletter,and i go to rate the pics our members have submitted for the new calendar. OMG! do we have great chickens or what. last week my son was watching a nature show where this group of people went to south america ( i think?) to film the birds of paradise. they could have...
