Hi,
It’s been 10 years since my 3 hen flock was killed by a neighbor’s dog & I threw in the towel. I gave away my coop, cleaned up the run and called it a career.
Well, I got the hankering to maybe revisit BYC’s again & I told my wife, she is like warm about it but once things get built and we...
Howdy,
It's been a few years since I posted but Iv'e surfed thru quite often.
My 2 hens, Black Stars under 2 years old just stopped laying about a week ago. Nothing at all. In the 6 years of BYC's Iv'e never recalled seeing this. Anybody have any ideas? Are yours doing the same? A buddy in...
She was perfect the night before. I don't check on them in the mornings so I never saw any illness or anything out of the ordinary.
Yeah, she was the only one that let me pick her up & she was a decent bird for sure.

After a long week at work & finding this, I really wasn't in the mood to really get down & dirty.
Maybe after a few cocktails tonight I'll check her out.

My 1 1/2 yr old Black Star dropped dead yesterday. I came home from work & went straight the to the coop as usual & found 3 of the 4 hens I have, out in the run. I thought it was odd that my dominant hen ( and nicest ) wasn't around. I checked the coop & pulled back the lid to see if she was...
Since I brought the 3 hens home a month ago & knew it was going to be a chore to get my 10 yr. old Border Collie/Healer to accept the new residents of the backyard. She has slowly come to accept them as she sits calmly with in 10ft. while the girls roam around the yard. But I still don't totally...
Hey, we noticed our 8 month old Black Star is also smooth on her underside. No rashes or scabs but she has lost her feathers. Other than that should I be worried?

Back in the late 70's when I was a kid I remember hanging out one night in the back of a truck with friends up above Santa Cruz (grew up there) & all of a sudden we saw these lights shaped like a football, way up in the sky & it didn't make a sound. We all saw it & talked about it & right when...
I just bought my first 3 hens (Black Stars) from Cody who runs that site, Get Chickens. I was very impressed by him. He took a newbie like me & showed me the ropes. He was very patient with me & my buddy & we must of BS'ed for almost 2 hrs. He lives in Lindon bordering Orem on the East side of...

Interesting thoughts here. I have a dog that is 10 yrs old now that I got from a rescue shelter & she's been the best, but.......if she ever went after somebody with bad intentions & actually bit them, I would have to think about putting her down.
Iv'e been bitten 3 times,
- 1st time, I was a...
I plan on doing a full report from beginning to end on my new coop but in the meantime, I only have to add the pine chips/shavings to the coop floor but I'm concerned about space for my nesting box. The actual height entering it is 10.5 inches x 28" across. I don't want to take up anymore space...
Hi,
Longtime lurker here in the SLC valley. Iv'e been putting off starting up the backyard chicken hobby/lifestyle for a couple of years but a buddy who is also a member in here kicked my butt into high gear & for the past month I have been building my first coop & hopefully I'll have it done in...
