He's really super pretty anyway. Any chance you might want some buff silkies lol? I just ended up with way too many.

Oh, that is tempting! I just looked up some photos and they are beautiful! I am in Anderson, just north of Indy. Where are you?

Just set my last batch of eggs for the season. (Maybe) lol! I got eggs from kabhyper1 due to hatch Easter. And then the shipped SLW eggs I just set tonight. I will transfer the shipped eggs into kabhyper1's bator to let the other eggs hatch in my bator (no mess in the barrowed bator). Thanks again for bator and fun evening at your place!! We all had fun! Will do again soon.

I love the "maybe" part - LOL!

I'm in indy.


I've got way too many birds on a tiny property sigh. 30 on a third of an acre, though 9 of them are silkies and 26 are babies or juveniles.

Hello! I'm from Tennessee, and have a question...

We are considering moving to your state soon and are clueless as to what to bring for our chickens...Can anyone suggest anything? I have a Columbian Rock, Golden Comet, RIR, and four mixed chicks.

We don't have much snow here, but I know you guys certainly do!

Any advice would help! PMs are even better <3

I've been looking for a old wooden door for my pallet palace coop. We've been to antique stores and a few yard sales, we've seen a couple but I just never bought one for one reason or another. So the other day we were at my moms visiting. I asked her if they had a door sitting around (they don't throw anything away). My stepdad (dad) said he thought there was one in the old shed! Sure enough there was and it was a perfect fit (almost had to trim a little length and width) and the color is great. I got it installed this morning and I think it turned out great!!! I'm not even going to clean off the dust and cobwebs it's a nice touch of character!

Here is a look from the inside

New hinges but the doorknob is original and works!

As to what to bring for as living conditions? A good draft free coop. As long as you aren't planing on using a lean to, you should be good to go. Though I am not a fan or premade coops, there are lots of stores and people throughout indiana who make them

Funny story from yesterday.......

I got up an hour late and left 15 minutes late. I think I get ready faster than I ever have in my life. 18 minutes! At the end of the class we were doing the lab part and a guy said we will forgive you for wearing that shirt here. I didn't get at first and then looked at my shirt. It dawned on my. I said I didn't watch sports or anything, it was just a shirt to wear. If no one guessed what shirt I was wearing, it was a IU shirt!

Depends on what part of the state. Will you be north or south?

I forgot to say, I wasn't saying not to use a lean to just because of weather, but also because it leaves them awful vulnerable to predators
