Ideal Poultry is located here in Texas and they don't have a minimum number of chicks, just a minimum dollar amount ($25). However, you'd have to wait till warmer weather if you didn't want to deal with "packing peanuts" (male chicks included in the order to keep small orders of chicks from...

I love my Easter Eggers! Orpingtons are supposed to be big teddy bears. I don't have any yet, but I have some lavender orpington eggs due to hatch on NYD, so I'll know soon enough. From what I've read and my own experiences so far, I'd say just pick the breeds that appeal to you and be sure...

Very nice! Congrats on the chickens and the coveted "first egg"!

That looks wonderful!

Oh no! I am so sorry about Max.

Nope, bantam cochins do not fly well at all. They can manage a kind of hop accompanied by mad wing flapping that accomplishes little but to throw leaves and dirt everywhere. My LF EEs and Australorpes fly better than them. However, my D'uccles are very excellent fliers and love to get up...

What an awesome find!

It might have been the Ayam Cemani that was linked (by Ms. Jellybean I think). They are stunning birds.

Oh yeah. They adore peanut butter. I figured with the cold the extra fat and protein would do em some good. I don't know what the low was here last night but it is only 14* right now and supposed to be down to 8* tonight. It is too cold!

That sounds like the type of concoction I make for mine when it is nasty out, and they go bonkers for it. Yesterday I was out of molasses so they got peanut butter in it instead, and I usually whisk in some eggs after I turn off the burner to make a kind of oatmeal custard. They gobble up...

Ugh. It is tooooo darn cold! Texas is not allowed to get this cold!

That s a beautiful kitty. Love the elongated ears on the wildcats.

That looks really awesome! I'm jealous.

Awww. Sorry you aren't feeling well and for the loss of your birds.

Oh, mine also love the mesquite trees. They make nice hiding spots and they attract walking sticks which the chickens and ducks gobble like chickie french fries. And you can't kill those even if you try so I'm doubting chickens can do them much harm. And the beans make wondrous jelly and...

Mine love lounging under the rose bushes and pomegranate trees/bushes, and they don't seem to cause any distress to either one. Sunchokes might be a good idea too. I plan to plant a corner of them. I've read they are virtually impossible to get rid of (even if you want to) and chickens are...

I don't know what the color would be but it sure is a pretty bird.

Ok, that would be awesome. I can just imagine it.
