Thanks Carolyn, that is so good to know!

Thank you lalany, Spoke with him today and doesn't look like I will be able to get the pullets that I want. He seems to be more driven by "chick sales". At least he was honest about that. Looks like I am going to make the big drive to Connecticut for pullets again! Glad to hear that your...

Sorry for your loss Lalany, You are the 3rd person that I heard of in the last month to have lost their beloved pet. It is so difficult when they leave us. I lost my sweet boy, (A white boxer) a year and a half ago. I now have 2 standard poodles that keep me busy and make me laugh. The good...

I quickly went out yesterday and changed all the wood shavings in the coop so they were nice ans dry, added some herbs and chopped straw to the nest boxes, cleaned and refilled all waterers and stocked up on the food. It is so windy and gusty! I am so glad that I wrapped the run with plexiglass...

Two unique events for me this week: Broody Breaking and Never Again Wasting the Dregs of Chicken Feed. 1- First time any of my hens went broody.  It was the little black Frizzled Cochin that I got from ChickenFairyGodmother Roberta a few months ago.   Found her in the nest box yesterday with a...

Hi Everyone, I hope that you remember me! My girls made it well through the winter. Of course, they stopped laying when they molted, but are all back to laying. After not buying eggs since last Easter when they 1st started laying, I had to actually purchase some. What a disappointment. I...

BTW...did my 1st Bumblefoot surgery 2 weeks ago. Poppy is doing great. I will be less nervous and shaky the next time as I have 3 more waiting to be treated. Without it, Poppy would have eventually died. Luckily, I have some medical background, not squeamish at all. Although I am married to a...

Article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal about Chicken Keeping and lack of Health Care or Vets who know what to do. A few of us were interviewed, myself included and our own Carolyn Hecht was quoted as well as Kathy Mormino.. Short and sweet, felt wanting for more but it is there...

Thanks for the info. Just got back from Oregon and will email Jon Kamp. We are subscribers to the WSJ, so this is exciting. If he is looking for someone who doesn't know that much about chickens.... I am the person!

Found the "Redneck" air conditioner on BYC posted by 2manychickens. The top one is the 1st one I made but then bumped it up to a bigger and thicker cooler with a stronger fan. I also have a commercial Ice maker which makes this feasible. It does help! The air is cooler. Have to go out every...

WOW!!!! What a nice job! It looks great. Amazing what paint can do......

Mine all slept in the nest box when they were little, I also got them inNovember when it ws cold. I see no problem becasue when it was time, they abandoned the nest box for the roost. They then used that nest box for when they began laying eggs abut later switched to another one. Now they all...

I do DLM in the winter for extra warmth/insulation but not in the summer. Inside the coop which is raised 4x6 for 5 pullet I have 2-4 inches of wood shavings and use a long handled kitty litter to scoop it all towards me and then remove it to a garbage can. The floor of the run is mostly sand...
