My brother's roo was all friendly until I turned my back to leave the pen. He attacked and I still have the scar on my shin to prove it. I'm terrified of them. I will never turn my back on a roo again. They don't fight fair!

I have three little cuties. They are Bippity, Boppity and Boo.

Quote: We actually already had the land, purchased it to build a house on after DH retired (still another 6 yrs away). DH woke up one day & decided we should move on out to our farm. So we packed up & moved from our 2500 sq ft house to a single wide trailer! Have no idea when we will build a...

Quote: Jan, That is great! Do you have any neighbor complaints? I worry about one neighbor. I figure we will bribe her with eggs:) I think we have restrictive covenants, but the neighborhood is 30 years old and no one seems to be following those anymore. It think we are ok, but I still...

Quote: Beautiful photography. What camera are you using?

Quote: I tried giving them spaghetti last night. Oh my goodness, I thought I was going to have a riot on my hands. I think they thought it was worms. I was breaking the spaghetti into 1" to 2" pieces and tossing it to them. That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. What a bunch of goof...

Quote: They were cherry tomatoes and I squeezed them so they busted apart, but they still won't touch them. I thought they would love them. Oh well, I tried to give them a little treat.

Quote: Pretty. I had to really look to see the hopper. Cook photo. I meant COOL photo!

Quote: Thank you Poco Pollo. I remember you telling me that now. I was just so excited to get them, everything you said went right out the window. Hey, I have some left-over spaghetti in the fridge right now. Do you think my chickens will eat it? I threw some cherry tomatoes in the pen...

Here is a photo of my two new additions. And here is a photo of my first two Bantams. We're all bonding nicely.

Quote: Yea! I'm glad you two connected. What kind of pullets did you get from Poco, T-Feathers? Ah, now City Clucks you know I'm new to all of this! One is beautiful brown and matches the coloring on my Bantams and the other one is white with brown flecks on the tips of her feathers. Did I...

We just had a downpour in Tulsa. 76 degrees baby!!! javascript:insert_text('',%20''); Thank goodness!

Yes, it's going to be a scorcher here in Tulsa, too. The poor chickens are panting. I froze a gallon jug of water and going home at noon to put it in the pen. Maybe they'll nestle up to that jug to keep cool. It was nice meeting you Poco Pollo on Saturday. The chickens are fitting in nicely...

Quote: Wonderful pens MJ. With the roost it looks like the board is at an angle which puts an edge on top. You might put a wedge under the ends of the roost so a flat side is up. As the birds get heavier you could have some problems with bumblefoot in the future. Thank you, I have been...

I have a couple of Bantam chickens and we had the grandsons over for Father's Day yesterday. I told them not to go in the coop because I didn't want the chickens running around and getting too hot. Of course, I went outside and there were the two little boys chasing my chickens. I think...

I've just begun this adventure of raising a few backyard chickens, and I hadn't thought of even naming the coop. So, since my last name is Ham and I spend a lot of time in the coop with my little Bantams, the coop will definitely be "Momma Ham and Eggs."
