Thank you all for you kind words. It really means a TREMENDOUS amount to me to know people care. It eases the sadness. And yeah appylover, I just can't believe my brother ran RIGHT beside a burning collapsing house with burning tree limbs falling around him to save my chickens. My dad had...

It definitely hasn't been easy by any means. It's an experience I wish on no one. Here's a before and after pic. The coop isn't too badly burned like I mentioned. Shocking considering we lost the whole house, everything in it, my dad's garage shop that his dad built and a car. A tree had even...

Floyd is around 10 months old now. He's still as sweet as can be, though he's a bit rough on the girls' backs. I sewed them up some "chicken saddles" and it seems to be helping drastically. On April 14th, a man who bought the property behind my house had a brush fire going and it got out of...

Yep! I saved Floyd and then had to get his a buddy, and now I'm brooding more girls :) I love them all!

Thanks so much ButchGood. It's been an adventure for sure :)

All because a cat wanted a chick dinner! The coop was made with all recycled material. Not a piece purchased besides the paint, fencing, and locks. The "new girl" in pic two came wandering into my field and had been just living there by herself for awhile until I caught her. She was beat...

Thanks y'all! That cat is still around. I doubt Floyd remembers it was THAT cat, but he runs from only that one Should see him get after the other cats AND dogs we have. They're all afraid of him now. Floyd still lets me pick him up, carry him around, love on and nuzzle him. He's such a sweet...

We're all great here! Calissa is laying pinkish green HUUUUGE eggs, about one a day! And Floyd is huge and gorgeous and doing great! I'm working on a 17ftx16ft closed in run and coop for them (yes, my dad and I have finally started building :P) Right now they've been living... everywhere...

Thanks magnolia! Good luck on your babies. I know you're so excited!! And Floyd crows!

I think I'm just going to pick a perfect small coop from the coops section since the boyfriend said he would get me all the materials to build it. I know, my face when he said that was like I found this http://bham.craigslist.org/grd/2669984620.html which is very cheap but I'm afraid it would...

Quote: I would SO buy that. It's really cheap and would fit perfectly in their area, but unfortunately by the time that I got down there to get it I'd have spent $100 in gas. I'm about an hour north of Birmingham. I'm going to check craig's list again to see if there's anything new up. Thanks...

Thanks Pharm! I'm glad you found sweet little Nando a good home Been staying up to date with him And I realized how long it REALLY has been. So you guys definitely deserve to see some better pics! Look at her little puffs She is SO SWEET. By far a LOT sweeter than Floyd. Full body pic...

Back from the dead! I hope you all are doing awesome I've still been poking around BYC but haven't really had the time to post OR make a coop!!! But I did make them a huge 5ftx4ft area box so they have enough room to hang out during the day before I can come home and give them some outside...

They're great! Thanks for asking. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've had exams like you wouldn't believe in my classes and it's been very hectic organizing the babies and getting in time to study. I love it though and no worries! All A's still across the board. Floyd and Calissa are...

Oh yeah my babies are wasteful little squirts. Wish I could tell them there's poor chickens in India who would kill for their leftovers! I think Floyd is about 6 weeks, give or take a couple days. Not too sure, he could be younger! I'll check out the pellets and see if they like them. Thanks...

Quote: Not really sure. Whatever this is is what I'm using right now. They pick the biggest pieces and keep digging to find more, dumping the rest out into their area And when I mean big pieces, I mean the pieces that weren't crushed all that well by the manufacturer and look like a pellet.

Thanks for all the tips. I swear you people are a godsend. I couldn't do it without you guys. So I've been using A LOT of chick feed lately. Like over 5 pounds in less than a week... well... I was wondering where it was going and at the bottom of their tub is about an inch of the small parts of...

Calissa is still super hyper, but ever since her little episode outside with the twitching legs and being unable to stand, she has completely stopped drinking any water and her back feathers are puffed up. I've really jinxed myself talking about how she's so healthy I've been forcing her to...

Oh my goodness that is one HUGE EGG. I've never seen one that big Uncle Tommy, you're a hoot. And Floyd is growing again I bought some food grade DE just for giggles. How do I use it?

Yesterday I had my babies out in the sun since Floyd was feeling better. He dustbathed Then I noticed Calissa was taking a very long dust bath... and went over to check her out. Her little legs were twitching and she couldn't stand up I rushed her inside and set her under the heat lamp and she...
