    adding new chickens

    Yes, it seems everything is ok. I checked her out closely when I bought her and then again this morning and all seems well. She is just extremely shy? Constantly clinching to one of her sisters and almost hiding under her. It seems like a adjustment because at the farm she was very confident...

In my area, (Norht West Puget Sound) there would be a literal line for home grown quality eggs. I just started with chickens and...

    Help ID rooster

    The only difference that I noticed early on was that the tail was not developing as fast. Even now the tail is about 1/2 the size of the other 3. My wife says that yes, it did feather out slowly.

    My destiny has changed ! They moved in, pic's on on 36

    Its hard to find good help. My motto is do it yourself. I find that its cheaper to buy a new tool, got to library to learn and do it yourself then to try to hire people unless they can provide you with a very specialized skill that a DIY could not quickly learn.
