Lol everyone of my friends hens (the friend that got me into chickens) roost in her lilac tree and she has 20! Lol at night it looks like a tree with feathers! Lol
Lol it's one of my husbands favs too! He has bitten me once but that's because I had to grab him cuz he got out of their yard, he gets out about twice a day and has taught a few of the girls also but at the moment we don't have the money for mesh to fix the problem so I'm just going to have to...
Hello again everyone.... Yet another question... I'm not sure if you remember me or not (hopes you do). I'm pretty certain I have a roo now!!! The girls are still not laying yet but the one I guessed was a roo is biting them on the back of their neck and mounting them.... At what point are they...
When we moved back to Wy from Wi last oct we had to move to Rock Springs inially and stayed with DH's mom (ugh!) but thankfully we were able to get back to Etown where we lived for 15yrs before moving to Wi 3/11. I really didn't care for RS at all... Felt as though it might as well have been Wi...
So I haven't been very active for a couple of days... After 24 yrs next month I'm not sure if my marriage is over... Ugh.. It's not the chickens, DH just doesn't want to live in this town.. :( just moved back after 3yrs in March to be by the kids..... I'm over it!! Ok so sorry.. Done venting! :)
Oh my gosh! I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my babes! Glad you found them all!
I love this pic Cheeka!!!
That sure is a cute baby!! Now to get DH to let me have a goat!! ;)
Howdy everyone! I have some great news! While I was out today my son made himself and my husband 3 egg omlets using all of the 5 eggs in the house which sent my DH out to the coop to get the 6th. When I got home found out what had been cooked and asked my DH if we were out of eggs, he shocked me...
;) maybe that's an idea! Tell DH that we are eating more than Lacy and Ninja can give and it will take probably 2 months for the other girls to start laying... Only makes sense right?? Lol ...
Omg I absolutely love reading everyone's posts!! I got 2 today from Ninja and Lacy so that was awesome although they lay between 2-4 hrs apart and of course I don't wait until the eve to gather so that means 2 trips to the boxes for me :) !! How do I wait for the 8-10 weekers to start laying...
Oh and to answer an earlier question, yes Ninja does lay a bluish green egg :)
How funny!! Ninja doesn't care for the meal worms lol I threw a couple down and she raced over and grabbed one, spit it out (did tis about 3 times) then stomped on it and walked away giving me a look like " really...
Does the thrill of getting eggs ever become routine with you all? I sure hope not! I have fun getting eggs from the big girls already but can not wait until my other girls start to lay!! :)
Plecckkk! That just sounds disgusting! I just hope mine aren't poo eaters!! I don't care so much about the puppy eating theirs cuz I don't do puppy kisses ( they lick their bums!).
Ok, I have what might be a stupid question but here goes.... Do I have to worry about the chickie babies trying to eat dog poop if they happen to find an odd piece while free ranging?
