This is my story....This fine fellow is Rudy. He is a cochin x blue silkie Cockrell. I was told since fall that Rudy was a he. Well, this chicken momma said "no way! I never heard it crow". Nevermind the prominent walnut crest. I would not have it! Then, this morning I caught "him" doing...

I know 3 hours! Geez. But my hubs would drive me down there. I just need to settle down on even getting chicks for a few weeks anyway...addicted. lol!

I am considering shipping. My patience for new chicks is running thin. They are so addicting, but the weather needs to cooperate as well. Next week my run should be nothing but mud. If the weatherman is correct. I need to settle down on new chicks for now. Thanks Beer Can.

My only concern is the shipping. I like checking my chicks out personally. I have read many horror stories concerning shipped chicks, but if I can not find what I'm looking for then I may bite the bullet....

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for your post.

Does anyone know if there are any blue laced red wyandotte chicks available for purchase in NY state? I would prefer upstate area but am always game for a road trip....thanks!

Nothing says love like 3 roosters in your tub These boys would not go into their coop because the ramp had snow on it. I scooped them up and brought them inside. As soon a they were dry they started crowing. What a ruckus. It was funny...at first. Then I started getting the stink eye from...

@LuvMyChicks1491I am so sorry for your loss! How terrible.

we bought a 6x8 shed from an amish family on rte 3 in pulaski. They added nesting boxes, pop door, roost for my chickens and a metal roof. no plywood at all, all solid pine heavy duty and paid $500 at the time. I am very pleased with my coop. we did add some more ventilation as a precaution...

I was thinking....does she mean goat, looking good to me! But I don't have a goat...love computers....NOT!

Hi everyone! I brought my silkies in Sunday morning. They were doing great but their feathers on their heads were frosty. They stayed in til yesterday afternoon. I can tell you six rooster in the basement was quite obnoxious. Every time they heard my voice they crowed. It was very hard to...

OMG that's funny! I would only object to catching that chicken to clean their feet!

Yup....I am worried. They just said wind chills could be as low as -50 this weekend. seems drastic to me, especially for my lil Silkies. Although they do huddle together at night, my 4 batchelors are in a coop by themselves and it seems rather large to me now. I have extra pine shavings that...

I'm sorry for your troubles Rancher. Cancer sucks. I lost my dad to a rare form of cancer 6 months ago. It was an awful time for my family, not to mention, my dad. I now understand the old term "wasting disease". Many people, from the very young, to the old,seem to be getting this disease...

i have a SLW and she is not overly friendly either. bossy if you ask me, but pretty bird. on the other hand, i also have a GLW who is a sweetie pie and I LOVE her to the moon and back. Shes the first to greet me and follows me around like a dog. lays everyday.

i just started FF again. Tomorrow they get the first batch. Tried it during the summer and HELLO flies! They are eating me out of house and home with the dry feed and i am currently unemployed so every little bit helps. those darn Silkies are CRAZY! For the past 2 days I have been picking...

Baby its cold outside!!!! went out just before the sun rose this morning to give the chickens their water. Brrrr. Left the coop open for them to choose to go out or not. Yep. The LF were taking shelter under the batchelor pad and the silkies were in the run with one leg under them so off to...

BRRRRR....I just had the hubs get out from under his nice warm blankie to go to the coops with me to check on the chickens I was worried, they were fine. Had to remove the ice cube that was their water the third time today... The snow fence we put up is containing the chickens but the area...

Thanks! I will focus on keeping my coops moisture free. Seems easier to me.
