@jeria chicken math = When I'm going to buy a small coop and 3 or 4 hens turns into 14 hens, 5 roos, 9 chicks in a brooder, and 14 eggs under 2 broodies with the addition of a 4x12 hoop coop, and 10x8 portion of the shed turned coop with 15x15 run attached.

@1cock2hens it's mainly Facebook posts and messaging. Great for me because I don't particularly like talking on the phone either. :D The way we caught him was to get it back somewhat in place and opened the doors. He kept trying to run back to it. Got him in and then I was able to cage him...

Glad you all were safe. We had some roof damage and my small home built coop was moved and tweaked. The poor roo inside made it out unscathed somehow and was just wet and scared. Got him caught and contained. Just fixed his coop today. He's still skittish but I don't blame him. The new business...

Welcome to all the new peeps! I've been absent fie a while. This school year has about done me in. Between my son's activities and starting my own small business along with my full time job, I haven't done much recreational reading. Going to try to give myself a set amount of time to do just...

@SueT I've heard of it but have never been. Would like to sometime though.

Anyone in the Joplin/Neosho area in need of a roo? I have two that really need new homes. We just have too many. They don't really get along and they are running the poor girls ragged. Will be getting a couple of pullets for my broody to raise and really need the space. Any takers? One is an...

They are silly. I am going to have to get them broken though. We are going out of town at the end of the month and no one to collect eggs. By the time we get back they'll be several days on the nest. Had the same thing happen over Labor Day and ended up with 7 chicks. Still have the two roos...

@microchick I have 2 sharing a box. One is fully committed and I rarely see her up. The other I'm not so sure on. Saw her out most of the day Sunday. Either way, neither are getting eggs right now. That's for sure. Way too cold and unpredictable weather this time of year. Not to mention I have...

Merry Christmas!

Anyone else feel the need to build an ark?

Snowed here this morning too.

The second roo was an unexpected surprise. Another family member gave him and the 2 hens to my nephew for his birthday. So far the boys are getting along. Rubble, the older bigger dominant roo, side steps Oliver occasionally but there have been no fights (knock on wood ). Rubble and Luna (head...

Have a chicken behavior question. My brother currently has 7 chickens, 2 roos and 5 hens. 1 roo and 2 of the hens are new to flock. They are all sleeping at night on a board across the nesting boxes except for the newer roo. He sleeps on the ground next to the boxes. None of them roost. My...

Ok seriously, what is up with all of this wind? Is it March already?

My only full silkie is my roo. The rest are his brood (mixes). I also have 2 mixes from another silkie roo I had last year.

Silkie, ee, Japanese bantam, barred rock tiny bantam, old English game hen tiny bantam, silver laced polish, and mixes from some of the aforementioned breeds. Currently at 23 chickens. I only had 4 this time last year!

@Kathyparks Neosho here. Have been to Crane for an archery tournament though.

Ooey gooey cake! Yum!

I have 5 girls who haven't started but the ones who were laying aren't now. One is broody so I know why on that one. One tried to go broody but broke out of it when I moved her so figure that has something to do with it. Tiger might be molting but I'm not sure. As for DJ, Cookie, Scarlett, and...

Seriously, day 3,not one egg....
