    @MissTracy Been awhile since the last report. How's the Silkie (mess) and the (not so new anymore) new La Fletche's? How many chicks did you/hens hatch? We are warm here and I am making my move with my hillbilly mobile coop up to Koke'e today. Well at least to get the run set up and the roof on...

    Are black snakes poisonous?!! 😬 K. Steps makes perfect sense 💡Nice reuse/repurpose :love I agree with the whole Guinea set up.

    Everyone disappeared AGAIN. Well, my broody hatched her eggs almost a month ago now. Only six out of 10 eggs. 2 were blanks, 1 early quitter and 1 got crushed by mom while hatching. Thought she was better than that but oh well. Now I am days away from another hatch and also just picked up 2...

    Aloha kids, just bumping some of my more favorite threads. 🌴 :frow I'm waiting on my own hatch of potentials... any day/minute now! Trying to figure how I am going to GRACEFULLY be more breed specific in my small space... resisting the urge to do a big hatch of mix barnyards in the hope of a...

    Yeah, I hear ya with the growing up poor. In Cali it is not such a good thing (where I am originally from too) I sailed to Hawaii after 10 months in Mexico when I was 15. I did not like Hawaii much and almost jumped on a boat and sailed back a few times, wanted to go back to Mexico :lol: but I...

    Chickens and centipedes are the best. Don't you just miss them?! Yeah that sounds like a familiar story, most all my gal pals made it here after school and stayed. It is a good experience but a hard living sometimes. Well, the beach is free and so is much of what a body does to entertain...

    Oh my gosh, I missed this response earlier and the only reason I found it is because I am trying to avoid the B movie my DH is watching so I was rereading some of todays threads- way more fun than bears attacking and dramatic music- and found this. Well, that is some hallway and I love how you...

    Oh gosh that is cute!!! I think quail would be great. Small, contained, easy and delicious. We raised when I was a kid. I think quail and mallard were my favorite. I did not like rabbit or duck eggs. But actually, even as a kid I just never liked a lot of meat. Yes, process and freeze would be...

    Good thinking! I mean heck, they have been eating my food and yard bugs right? I always just relocate them when I get tired of them eating all my food and causing trouble. IDK if I have the heart for it. Maybe just under survival circumstances.

    Wild. They normally live in the big mango trees next door but this particular batch's mom pawned them off on me, so I have about 12 teens in my orange tree... and semi thinking they are mine when it is convenient. It is cool when they leave me eggs but not when they mate my girls.

    Thank you! They always look lovely coming out of a winter... by summer they will all look like they were in a drunken bar brawl. Poor things.

    Very nice neighbors to have :love and beautiful spot for sure!!! My nags would look good in that pasture lol (and my geese and donkey and mule and ducks he he he) I can't believe it took people so long to discover the Carolina's, they are stunning. Did anyone notice the junglefowl freeloader...

    Princess Peaches is a mix of Light Brahma (mom) and Smoothie (Ameraucana X Silkie) She has the best personality. Funny cuz her dad is a bit of a butthead so he got fired to the pasture. Too bad cuz I enjoyed his babies but also wanted my breeding to go in the Brahma direction so it made the...

    Just too cute and cool and SUPER clean. I love it. You must have a decent sized home and they look like they have their own room! Is it because you are in Az that you started to keep them inside? My daughter lives in Az now and said she wanted chickens but was worried. I don't blame her, nothing...

    So, you are chickenless except for these two? Pretty cute having house chickens. I know.... a few people may not approve but I see a few folks on this site with house chickens and they seem to do pretty well. I have one or two of mine that I would let be house chickens. Princess Peaches because...
