Oh crapola! Bringing home a mature hen really brought out the differences in my flock. We bought the Leghorn cockeral because we had decided that our bantam barred rock was definately NOT a boy and guess who the first one was to side mount my girl? It surely wasn't the Leghorn. It also was...

Thanks! Hmm, she went into the coop, made one chicken look what I did noise, sat for a few minutes and came out. No egg. I'll give her a little while, but hope I don't have to learn about the egg bound thing today. She is walking around panting right now, but that seems to be the norm for her.

So our new girl gave us an egg monday, no egg yesterday. The guy we got her from said she gave him an egg saturday. She is still new to laying so every other day or so is ok right? She is walking like she is a 4 year old running around with a full diaper right now.

Julie you are such an enabler!!! I think my poor city yard is full. 6 chickens, 3 ducks, and a dog is enough until I find some acreage.... unless of course I just happen upon some poults.... lol

LOL!!! I got my first egg yesterday too! From the new girl, but it is an egg!! Hubs said he thought something was outside killing a chicken, so him and the dog went to look and she come trotting out the coop like nothing was wrong, so he looked in the nest box and low and behold, the little...

Grrr, chicken math.... So, went to the Covington swap, just to get out of the house. Took the hubs with me so I wouldn't buy anything. Needless to say, since we have all hens (chickens and ducks) he thought we needed a roo. One 3 month old white leghorn added to our flock. Then he says, well...

These duckies are some greedy little suckers! There is only about 10-15 feeder fish left in the pool!!

Fascinating! I went and bought a few minnows this morning for our 3 week old ducklings, however it was quite a disappointment as they would chase and eat them only if they got close. I thought it kind of looked like unless they were right at the surface, right under the duckling, it seemed like...

Grrr, was in the backyard today, and caught to neighborhood BRATS teasing my dog and sticking sticks through the fence at my 3 week old duckies! They were maybe 13-14 year old boys. I caught them, asked their names, their parents names and where they lived so I could talk to their parents...

Happy Mothers day to all the mom's out there! (Even if your just a pet mom!)

Knowing my luck, the chickens will be good and ready when the ducks start in another 5 months!! LOL

Am I doing something wrong? One of our chickens is 6-7 months old, two are 5-6 months old, the 4th is 2-3 months old. Not worried about the little one, but why would the older ones not be laying yet? I know they had a rough start here with all of them having mites, getting a respiratory problem...

Gracie, clean, uninfested people that know what there land has been through in the last 10 or so years can do that! We ended up with mites when we got them, either from where we are, the chooks we bought, or the tractor we bought. Mostly it is good, but there are situations that have to be...

It's a girl!! It isn't loud, or well defined, but one of our three duckies quacked today in the pool about a dozen times!! I am so excited! Duck eggs coming in about 5 months!!

Lol! I could just tell him that the chickens really weren't late bloomers, just hiding their eggs to hatch. Once he realizes what happened he will already love them!! I could even drop them in a night I worked late, then early the next morning and let him "find" them. Maybe the neighbors lost...

Slidell!! (although I might have to try and sneak them in with the ducks and chickens. Maybe hubs just won't notice!!) LOL

Love you baby duckie pictures on there Mike!!

Oh my! Those are so cute!!!

I know, I swear they have tripled in size in a week!! I'm gonna miss their fuzzy little butts when they get feathers!! My duckies spoiled? Bahhhhh! None of my poop machines are spoiled, I would never dream of doing that! (said while hiding my head and not making eye contact with the computer...

I'm not drinking the water!!! LOL They aren't old enough to do the deed in there yet either! Just baby ducky potty, it washes off and its not like the kids don't pee in the pool, or drunk adults as well. Here are my three babies on their duck island a few minutes ago! They are so fun to watch...
