    Love this site!

    I grew up on a farm. We raised hogs, cattle, had some riding horses and chickens. I moved away about 20 years ago and have always missed it. Well, bought 2 1/2 acres just inside the Jefferson County line in Kentucky. Love it. Got me some chickens and ducks! Now, when I was a kid, we had...

    2 Buff Orpington Hens Need A Loving Home

    We are moving and have two hens approximately 1 year and 4 months old that we cannot bring with us. They are very friendly and have been with other hens ( when we took in a pair briefly during the Idyllwild fires), they all got along well. Please call Misty at 951-345-0104 if you would like...

    Mating Issue. Moral Dilema

    In my relatively small flock we have two roosters who are brothers and have been hand raised (with their sister who they circled but a hawk got her one day) and are essentially stuck at the hip. While they will go separate ways for a small time they often follow each other and are almost never...

    Andalusian Comb and Egglaying

    Hello Everyone, On June 7, 2018 my Blue Andalusian laid her first egg. It was oddly long, but roughly the size of a normal store bought egg. Ever since she laid her first egg, her egg size has been decreasing. I don’t know what a “normal” size egg is supposed to look like, being new to raising...

    Yogurt!

    My little ladies have not been interested in treats. After many attempts I finally got them to have some plain yogurt today, after sprinkling some Scratch and Peck herbs on top. Nutritious, messy and entertaining!

    worried about my EE

    Hello, I have had mutiple concerns about my EE buddie, the sweetest girl. Just today I found her large bump on her comb, about the size of a small marble, to be scabbed up. This is kind of normal, because the past few weeks, the ladies have been picking her fluff feathers bare around her vent...

    Talk about.... Chick music

    Are any of you playing music for your chicks? Soothing nighttime compositions or upbeat playtime tunes? Do you find yourself singing to them when you tuck them in at night? I thought it might be fun to share your recommendations. My little Daisy D'uccle finally made it up onto the roost swing...

    Meet my little flock

    Just so you know it is darn near impossible to get all the chicks in one spot at a time. From 1st to last we have Bob, Twinkle, Sweet-pea, and Fluffy. We have had them 4 days, and honestly, my 4 yr old couldn't have chosen better names for them! They all have their own unique personalities.
