Those are all such great ideas! It was so hard hot here today (near Cincinnati). I cut up a watermelon for us and fed the rinds to the chickens. They were very happy!

She is pretty.

Where I used to work, I sold all my eggs $2.50 dozen. I now work at a bank with 3 other people. I have eggs coming out my ears:D. We have 120+ chickens. Anyways, I will never let my eggs go to waste. I used to cook up omlets for the dog & freeze them for days we don't get so many eggs...

Thanks for the info. I've thought about selling my eggs to a store. My coop needs lots of work before any of that can happen. This winter part of the roof blew off, boards on the side, just needs a lot of work.

What's the saying in ohio? If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes. Yesterday here around Cincinnati, we had crazy winds, rain, snow, sunshine, frost, and freezing temps. When I went to work, I was wearing my winter coat, then went to feed store, changinged into sweatshirt, then to...

Very good advice. I personally will NEVER go to a swap again. Went to one last year after DHs bird dog ate some of my hens. Bought a jersey giant, barred rock & Easter egger. Kept them in quarantine for 90 days. All looked fine except Easter egger developed a "rattle" in her breathing &...

I've had LOTS of experience with roosters! Love them. But, they can be cantankerous. Something short term that worked for me, I put a mean rooster in a crate for a week or two. This "resets" their attitude. I did have one absolutely beautiful rooster that was super aggressive with the...

This is the 1st year I have mail ordered birds. I have rec'd my shipment from Meyer Hatchery just last week. Meyer is about 4 hours drive time from me (each way). Meyer packed them in a small box with a heat pad. They arrived safe and are doing great.:D No complaints here.

Just hoping a tree doesn't crash into our house!

I'm not far. Clermont county:D. Welcome!

Speckled Sussex Crested Cream Legbar BlackJersey Giants Buff Orpington White Leghorn Black Copper French Maran That should give me enough to mix and match with my bunch:D. Hopefully have some good breeders by next spring. Most will just be replacement egg layers.

Me too-Wayne township that is! Ketchum, DH, DD & I were running around Sunday & I told him "Do not stop at Rural King!" I don't need any chicks right now. I seen an email stating they have them, and I thought it was awful early too. I'm getting 25 chicks from Meyer hatchery in about a week...

Sounds about right here! Can't wait til tomorrow night when all these puddles are suppose to freeze over, water expands and POP! There goes the water lines.:th

I am floating in the same boat as you! It's absolutely nuts how much rain we've gotten. We had to make a makeshift bridge for everyone to get from the driveway to the sidewalk on Christmas. Not to mention the temps.....I planted a couple mulberry trees my brother gave me today.....at the end...

Welcome from SW Ohio! Just went to Marietta a few months ago. Loved the area. Beautiful. Had lunch by the Ohio river a couple days and could see West Virginia across the river.

Thanks! Maybe another month or 2 I'll be getting eggs from them too!

Do you know how old she is? Mine are almost 4 months old and look much smaller than yours. This is my 1st go around with brahmas. They are cantankerous! Always the 1st to break out of the pen.

@zoey87 I should also add that I am very far from you, but if you are ever in the Cincinnati area, give me a shout out & I'll see what I have that may help you.

@zoey87 , Very sorry to hear about your chickens. Most sorry for you that your neighbors did not accept the responsibility and take care of consequences caused by their dog. About 2 months ago DHs English setter got loose & attacked my flock & then ran off and attacked the neighbor's flock...

@minihorse927 , I separated one of the young CCLs I got from you into a breeding pen day before yesterday. I gave him 6 EE hens. I also have the older rooster with the 2 CCL hens. Hoping egg production picks up. I have the incubator, just no eggs. Since the cold seems to be slowly...
