Wow, I haven't been in this thread in forever. I've read back a little.... I really love seeing everyone's photos. Aria, I'm sorry to hear that you lost silkies in a hawk attack :( I was just in the buy/sell/trade area and there's a gal giving away silkies for free, but she's in PA. I don't...
Thanks, Rancher! You're excellent!
I have a raised wooden coop, but in the winter time, they hate the snow. So, they all hang out under the overhang portion right by my house and the door. As a result - it's a poopfest. I'm hoping to fence that off this year so they can't get close to the...
Rancher - I was thinking about you earlier today. I have decided to set up a hoop structure in the back for the chickens this year. Figured it would be easier than not having to shovel snow for them to play around on the ground.
Could you post a photo of your hoop setup again??
I'm not too...
Hi Cheeka :)
Hey everyone!! Been a long time!
Anyone know of any swaps/meetups happening near Sullivan County? I have some extra chickens that need to be rehomed.
Hey guys!
Just wanted to tell ya'll to be careful driving, wear your seatbelts, and make sure all of your insurance is up to date.
The night before last, we were coming home from a road trip to PA to pick up a couple spinning wheels I found on CL, when on the way back, we.... HIT A...
Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a wonderful morning :)
Anyone know of any swaps coming up in NY? I contacted the Tractor Supply in Liberty for permission to hold a swap in their parking lot this summer. I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress. In the meantime, I was hoping there would be...
Adm and VM.... thanks for the info! I'd be glad to see photos of the chicks as they get older. I'm like a 7 year old kid with all of these chicks. One more of the leghorn egg hatched and another is pipping. I should check the combs on mine....
Glad to see everyone hatching! It's so much fun. Sorry to read about all the broody mishaps, though!
VM, what to your leghorn/Ameraucana crosses look like? Are they truly crossed to an Ameraucana or an Easter Egger? Which was the Leghorn?
I only ask because I have an Easter Egger rooster...
Hey guys! Man, I've been neglecting BYC! I haven't been in this thread since we were on page 980-something.
Hope you are all having a wonderful spring!
I have eggs hatching as I type this....a really messed up (but is doing surprisingly well hatch) of both Coturnix Quail and Easter Eggers...
Guys, there IS a like button now on the new forum!
Along with that is all other sorts of fun stuff we can do with our text.....

CONGRATS barnswallow!!!!!!!!!!!! That's so exciting!!!!!!!
InHis- I'll send ya a convo a little later. That may just work out! I really, REALLY want some eggs. lol
And.... Could it be any more beautiful today? I don't think it could get any better out there......
Thanks for the condolences on my quail, guys! My boyfriend went outside tonight and happened to look in one of the raised bed gardens where there's some rye grass growing. Who did he see? The little tuxedo dude eating some grass. He slowly walked over to him, but the bird flew off again! At...
I lost a quail yesterday. I have some coturnix. I opened up their house and he flew right out. Tried to catch him, but he flew further and then we couldn't find him. He blended right in...... :(
Now I'm REALLY happy. I'll wait until he's been here a week and start saving them. I can't wait to see what those babies look like. There are some interesting mixes.
