Those little fuzzy butts sure are fun. I only have two but that's two more than I had. We are going to have to move soon. I sure hope I don't have to give them up.

@fishstick :welcome

Hey maybe you could post on facebook to see if anyone knows. It's amazing the different mutual friends you get on facebook.

Those dang roosters! I need to get rid of one. My poor little girls backs are pretty much bald. He really, really loves his girls a lot! I would butcher them but it's been so hot and I have to get up so early to do it.

Howdy @PLayne. I live in Scott County near the Oklahoma border.

Your welcome. My grands love my chickens even the one that was scratched. Of course he's a boy and not scared of nothing.

Howdy Lunalala. My suggestion for making chickens safe for children is to not get them use to being handled. My roosters that were hand raised and petted turned into the meanest critters attacking everyone. I go chase my roosters around waving my arms so they stay a friendly distance away and on...

Look what I found today. Five little babies running between Mamas and one still in the nest resting from the tough job of hatching out.

I have two broodies sitting on a nest. I noticed a little fuzzy butt hopping around this a.m. and I'm hoping for more. One hen started sitting about a week before the other so I don't how they are going to settle who's is who's chicks. Maybe they will co-parent. I used to have a pair of game...

I wish one of my girls would go broody. I would slip some chicks under her. They do such a good job at raising chicks. I have 5 chicks in a brooder now. They are about 3 or 4 weeks old now. Hopefully they will be feathered out enough to put outside soon. I'm keeping them in an unheated garage...

Howdy from Waldron. Hey what's with Santa?

Puddin Fluff glad to see you again. I know what you mean. Sometimes the online stuff just gets too, too much and I need a break. I do that a lot with Facebook. I am up to ...with the politics and opinions, lol. Why can't we all just have fun? Pretty soon all the posts will start dropping off...

Has anyone seen a chicken swim?

I check all the pullets and definitely only one pullet is laying. I guess I was lucky to be get 6 eggs a week or at least I was before the big 2 inch snow of 2017, lol. Finally, four days later I have an egg.

Well I grabbed up one of my PR pullets yesterday that I thought was probably laying but she is only two fingers wide. I may only have one or two laying since I am only getting one egg per day. I need to check out all my girls instead of guessing. Since they are all about eight months old I...

Wow! With only four layers I'm getting an egg a day or at least until the snow hit that is. I haven't had any since. They wouldn't even come out their dark coop until yesterday.

Scorcher that's great news about your layers. My pullets too have begin laying. I get on egg per day most days. They are PR's and one is a blue cochin mix but I'm sure she hasn't started yet. An egg a day is better than no eggs, lol.

I live in Waldron and go to Ft. Smith frequently, in fact just yesterday when DH broke his phone. The thread hasn't really been very active since cool weather hit. I don't know why. I do check on it every day or two. Puddin Fluff we did go to Ozark a couple of weeks ago to see our sons bulldogs...

Well since my last post I got 3 more eggs and from the chicken coop no less! I have decide these 4 eggs have cost $49.50. Those 5 little pullets are going to have to get busy if they are going to bring that cost down but on the bright side DH says they are the best eggs he ever ate, lol.

Yeah, my Production Red's are seven months old and the little cochin mutt is about six months old. A couple of the PR's have bright red combs so I know it was most likely one of them. It's been two days and no more eggs though.
