    Just started incubating Buttons yesterday

    Long ago — LONG AGO — I was given an adult pair of button quail who managed to raise a clutch in a flight cage for finches. Since we aren’t allowed to have chickens here I thought I would skirt around the issue a bit and try just a small amount of Buttons (18 eggs). At least I know that if...

    Hello!

    We are a homeschooling family in the Texas Panhandle working on building a homestead! We inherited our first set of hens, 5 Barred Rock, last weekend, from a family member who was no longer physically well enough to care for them. I love watching how interested the kids are in the chickens, and...

    Greetings from Vermont

    Greetings from Southern Vermont! I’m not new to chickens as I’ve had them about 6 years now. And I started looking at this site back when I started my first flock.
