I'm pretty sure my wife and I are in love with this color! Thanks to all that submitted pics!

The Brahma has it the worst. The bubble doesn't feel fluid-filled but it is soft and pliable. This is my 3rd time raising chickens from day olds, the difference this time is that i purchased them from a feed store instead of ordering them directly from the hatchery. the mass is about 2 inches...

mine start doing that a few weeks before they start laying. theyre lusty wenches, they think theyre going to get lucky

mine picked at each other when they were in the brooder, but as soon as they moved outside, they stopped. maybe they're stressed by something...poor girls

my BO went broody early too. this was a couple of years ago. she kept laying, but was openly hostile when i tried to collect her egg every day. i finally put day olds under her in the middle of the night and she was a happy mommy. i had to re-home all of my girls a few weeks later due to crappy...

i have 6 girls, various breeds. 2 of them are clucking instead of peeping... getting their big girl voices next will be when they squat when i walk by.. hoping to get lucky. rowdy birds! then...eggs! yay

1 each: buff polish, blue polish (turned out more of a silver/white), white cochin, brahma, silver laced wyandotte and a german sprek-something-or-other i actually bought the dog house specifically for the girls i had a few years ago, but i only had 3 at the time so it was perfect. im seriously...

Quote: ok..seriously... the GOAT is the most awesome thing ive ever seen in a chicken coop i cant wait to get out of the city and in to a place where my coop doesnt have to be perfect...oh.. and where i can have a goat to adorn the roof!! :: grin:: (im 100% serious. i adore goats!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTO9KgHoFqg my girls, out in the "wild". they have a caged 12 x 12 x 3 run with an attached dog house for the coop. they had their first shower last night when it sprinkled

i have 6 pullets that are about 3 months old. they are outside in a 12' x 12' x 2' caged run and a dog house with a hinged lid serves as their coop. the house is attached to the run with chicken wire so its almost inside the run. ive used this in the past, but only with 3 girls when they were...

thanks for all of the replies! i agree with you all, she does seem to be a splash. im looking fwd to watching them all feather out and moooove outside!

i got my babies a few weeks ago and one of them is a white crested blue polish, but all of the chick pics i find show a dark streak down the back. mine is almost entirely white/silver..... no dark markings.. has anyone else had that experience too? shes very cute, i was just curious about the...

i put them under her last night again and this morning she was only chasing one of them. the other was still in the coop. so i guess theyll be going in the brooder today. it seemed so weird that she took 4 of them and not the other two. it didnt seem to be about looks, shes a buff and she...

my orpington went broody and i wasnt successful in breaking her of it so i bought some chicks. i slipped them under her @ night with no problems, but the next day found 2 of the 6 in a corner of the yard. i thought maybe they were confused, so i put them back by mama. she promptly went after...

lol i want to keep them OUT of the house, but i want the dogs & cats to be able to come & go. right now i have my garage door cracked and the cats come & go through there, but the puppy figured out how to get in to the garage & ran down the street. ugh! oh well... i guess its manual labor to let...

i want to put a doggie door in the sliding glass door at the back of the house for the dogs & cats, but obviously i dont want the chickens going through it and pooping in the house. does anyone have chickens and a doggie door? do they use it? ignore it? if i leave the back door open, they come...

2 of the babies keep straying and ending up in a corner of the yard but i think im going to try and put them under fred again tonight and see if she gets a little more maternal. shes doing great with the other 4 though!
