Hello to all! My husband, 20 year-old step-son and I live off the grid in a 5th wheel trailer in NE New Mexico with our 2 dogs, 2 cats and 7 chickens.
We started living off the grid in rural NE Nevada in April 2016. We had a total of 14 various breeds of hens and 1 light brahma rooster...
hi! My name is Wende and I’ve got four Columbian Wyandottes on the way, three girls and a boy. I’m not sure why I got the boy in retrospect other than to have as a pet. I will have him fixed so I don’t end up with chicklets.

Hi, we are new to this site. We have a Light Brahma rooster and an assortment of hens. We have hatched White Leghorn hens and Easter eggers with the rooster, and they are doing fine (5 in total). Recently, we hatched our brown egger White Rock, and the chicks are all black, 4 weeks old still...

We have 5 chicks, currently 8 weeks old. They were given to us without any info on what breed they are, most likely mutts. Our friend who hatched them received their eggs from the Agricultural Commission where they were allowed to borrow an incubator to hatch them for children to observe. We...
Hello and good day! We started raising poultry in 2016 and growing in size and understanding every day. Our first Chick Day at the local lumber yard was a site not for the weak at heart. Reserving chicks didn't occur because I couldn't make my mind up in time. Lucky for us, they had extras and...
This light brahma is supposed to be 14 weeks old. I was convinced for the last month that it's a cockerel because the comb started to grow and redden, and because this chicken is HUGE, but was waiting for confirmation. Now as more feathers come it I feel less certain. Any thoughts?
(When I...
