It just so happens that I have all four flavors of eggs in my fridge. Shall I lick each of them when I get home and see if our assumptions are true? You always test your hypothesis, don't you? :D
So, about egg licking, funny post by the way, if one assumes that brown eggs and white eggs are chocolate and vanilla flavored, what flavor are blue eggs? Or Olive eggs? Lol! :D
Talk about Chimera/Gynandomorph Chickens has made me really want one, they are so neat. The genetics behind it is really cool and very interesting. They look awesome too.
The two welsummer chicks I have are doing great and their wing feathers have definitely come in quickly, they love to throw...
I'm afraid I've been absent for a while. Not much has been going on lately, although I did get two Welsummer chicks to hatch on the 21st. One boy and one girl, very cute....and loud, they get our two cats into a hungry mood. I've been avoiding the local farmstores because they all have tub loads...
Thanks for all the helpful information on the Preschoolers and Chickens. I'll be sure to follow the advice.
The question on sand was a good one. I've been trying to decide on whether I should use Sand or Shavings. I think I've decided on sand though but I may change my mind later.
I'm so...
Pginsber: Thanks, and I actually thought that it would be good if I put a harness attachment on the diaper. Sort of a harness/diaper combonation so that instead of having the hassle of carrying a kitty carrier loaded with pounds of live, flapping chickens. I guess if this goes you'd officially...
I've caught the Spring Bug as well. I'm putting the finishing touches on my coop blueprints and am going to figure out what I want to put in my small garden plot my dad might give me. :fl Hope to have some Grape and Cherry tomatoes and Bell peppers and a bunch of other good things.
I've been...
Thanks Jchny about the Rooster advice. My younger boys are little angels even though they have discovered raging hormones and chase the pullets around they haven't once started a spar with me. Big Red though seems to have grown up rather slowly. He's nearly three years old and just now learning...
@ Leah's Mom: Yes, Inside Is good. Poor thing would have become a frozen pin cushion. Herding her around! Ha, yeah I bet she would hate being picked up. Then she'd really feel like a pin cushion. :) Hope she gets those feathers out soon.
@ ChickCrazed: I am so sorry about your Rooster. He...
Poor thing. She looks sorta like a porcupine. How long did it take all her feathers to fall out? Either I haven't seen my hens molt or they are too vain to drop all their feathers at once. :P
Well, winter has begun, its been freezing out on the plains of Montgomrery County here. Or maybe it's just because there are no trees nearby anymore so the wind is always whipping around. I've been toting one gallon waterers around to water the birdies. So far the new coop, (or what will be the...
These past few months have been horribly busy and jam packed. Good news is that my family has successfully moved into our new house! Yay! Also, my chickens are very happy, they have a new and bigger coop to play around in. But I've got four roos and roos to be together out of thirteen birds. Oh...
OKAY! I'm all caught up, thank goodness!
Mother2Hens; that story about the kitty brothers is adorable. Their very pretty lil' guys too!
Speaking of kittens I should get some pictures of our family of four. The three kittens are learning that the world isn't restricted to the garage. Lol...
So while I'm catching up I decided I would give an update on my 'Disappearing Chicken Mystery'case here on the little farm. I'm now missing a grand total of 4 birds. Two of my two and a half/ three month old chicks and two of my laying hens. I'm very annoyed its frustrating, there is literally...
