Well I knew it wouldn't be long before I had a stupid question---sooo here it is. Now I have this 2 week old Australorp chick I've named Benny (in case it's a girl I can name it Penny!) anyway, I feel the need to get it another to keep it company---the other chicks and chickens still don't...
Hey y'all thanks for the holler back last night. Deanna could those other reds be New Hampshire Reds they have black around the head and tail. I don't know I've been looking around and through catalogs at all of the different types of chickens available. Mindboggling. The peacocks are another...
WOW! I just found this thread. I live in Conroe just north of Houston and south of Huntsville. I have 2 Ameriacauna pullets and 6 Bantams, 2 of which are 2yr. old Japanese Bantams. The hen has laid 10 eggs in the past 14 days. I took them over to a friend's house to put them under her brooding...
Hey, I'm in Conroe, Texas. Welcome to the BYC where you're gonna learn just how crazy chicken lovers are! Our chickens are not just chickens but are part of the family just as much as the dog, the cat, and the horse. Last night I did a spot check on my coop about 10pm to find the cats curled up...

EGGSACTLY--the dog will return to the scene of the crime. My only Roo got picked up and carried away by a female dog that had puppies two houses down from mine. I saw it I chased it home all the while it was chomping and eating the poor thing. By the time I got up to the neighbors door I WAS...
:cool:Believe it or not, I have a pullet that has been crowing since she-yes I said SHE-has been crowing since she was 3 weeks old. I've told this story before and even I couldn't believe it myself. You can see a picture of her on my uploads. I got her from TSC when I got my first chicks a month...
RE: Americana chicks/Japanese bantams update:THanks for the advice on the pullet that crows chasing down the female bantam to pick on her when the bantam roo wasn't looking. I've got a picture of her in my uploads. The silver Japanese bantam roo whooped her fuzzy butt a couple of times since...
:OMG I, too, am infatuated with my new backyard hobby of raising chickens in Conroe, Texas. My barred standard pullet is chasing down and picking at my new Japanese Bantam hen. Should I just take her down the road to another chicken lover to keep the peace in the family? I have more chicks...
OMG I,too am infatuated with my chickens. I finally got to the point that I had to have a pair of Japanese Bantams. PROBLEM: I also bought 4 baby Americauna from the feed store. One of these hens turned out to be agressive and she runs and picks at the bantams. Would it be wise to give her to...
