How is your chick doing now? I had a chick yesterday with the swollen bottom (due to cleaning the pastyness off) but today she is fine. I hope yours is much better, too!

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of moisture today! It is super windy here and tried to snow a couple of times but no luck. We have four chickens out in the coop but I didn't open their door to the run because the wind would be coming directly into the coop via the little door. We plan...

Happy Spring! I know it's still February and snow may be on the way but we have chicks in the brooder and I'm ready for Spring. Yesterday we bought three chicks from Kiowa Country Corner and eleven from Elizabeth Country Corner. I had forgotten just how small chickens start out. Things seem...

Congrats! Are you going to eat it or blow it out and save it? I had planned on saving our first small one from each bird but my husband had omelet ideas and I didn't communicate very well. I wanted to make the blown out eggs into Christmas ornaments.

Hi Everyone- This is somewhat chicken related... We recently moved out to Byers and the kiddos would like to join a 4-H group. There are a few different groups in this area and we attended an orientation meeting today for a group in Strasburg. The kids are very excited about joining but...

We went looking at houses today. The one we loved was in verbal negotiations with a buyer so we didn't even get a chance! I think we are going to find a rental in the area. My only concern is finding a short-term rental. I am hoping we can find a landlord that is okay with having a...

Hi Everyone- I need some help figuring out if chickens are allowed in the towns of Bennett, Strasburg, or Byers. They are smaller towns and I'm having trouble finding the info. online. We are looking for a home on acreage in that area but are having a hard time finding anything so we are now...

I think this thread regarding using Sweet PDZ under the roosts might be the most exciting chicken-related thing I've read all year. I have a chicken tractor and it moves around our yard. I am thinking of replacing the pine shavings with the Sweet PDZ but I'm wondering if it would hurt the...

I have a couple ideas but haven't put them into action. Look at this website- http://www.bluemountaincoops.com/massey-featherson-40-chicken-tractor They have smaller wheels mounted to the outer edge. I'm guessing that this means the bottom of the tractor on that end has to be slightly off...

I'm so happy for Denver citizens! I watched the vote last night and if anyone is interested, you can watch it on the council website. About Peter and Tom this morning... I was very disappointed in both of them, especially Tom. He likes to say how he tries to get all the facts and...

http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-chickens-ducks-and-goats-may-soon-be-legal-in-denver-20110613,0,1395486.story Looks like Denver is postponing the vote until next Monday.

http://www.eatwhereulive.com/fpa_summary.pdf This is a link with more details but the way I understand it, the new ordinance will allow 8 chickens or ducks and 2 dwarf goats without paying a permit fee or getting permission from your neighbors. I guess the current process is lengthy and...

Anybody hear any information about tonight's vote on the new ordinance in Denver? I'm hoping it passes eventhough I'm in Broomfield.

Quote: I have a few left in the 10 week range, if you are still looking barred rocks, buff orpington and one white rock pet quality. They are $10.00 each. Aimee Thanks so much but I just got off the phone with another forum member and she has a couple of EEs that we are going to get and...

UPDATE- We found him a home! Thanks!! Hi- We also have a BLRW rooster that we need to rehome. Would anyone like him? He is very pretty and has been a fun guy to have but we can't have a rooster. He is nine weeks old today. We would be happy to deliver him within a few miles from...

Hi Everyone- Does anyone have two nine-week old pullets available for sale? We currently have three birds but one is a cockerel and will have to be rehomed. We want to add another one or two girls to our backyard flock and I was told that adding two at a time is the way to go. Is this...

Thanks for the info. I have no idea about the breed because we got the chicks from Murdoch's and they got them from McMurray. I have a list of the birds that were available that day and BLRW isn't even on the list. I am very bummed about having a roo because I'll need to rehome him and find a...

This little girl was supposed to be a Light Brahma. I posted a picture and someone suggested our mystery chicken is a blue laced red wyandotte. Our chicks are almost nine weeks old. The other two are a Speckled Sussex and and a Buff Orpington. Please let me know if you think she is a hen or...

A little background- We have three nine-week old chicks that live full time in a chicken tractor. The coop is upstairs and the run is downstairs. We move the tractor so the girls have new grass every day. They are always on grass. We close the ramp every night after they have gone upstairs...
