+I just love that.

I am not into chickens for the excitement. Sweetness is the #1 reason I have them.

Great job POCo! Good to see how they work. I like the idea of longer legs. I kept thinking the short ones were to short looking. The girls look great. They shoul;d breed good ,they look very healthy!

Grace's Dad,looks like it was a good sale! Did you buy anything or only sell? Hope the move works out for everyone. Maybe you can luck out and find a nice country place to hang your hat!

I hope this works- i am trying to post a link to some photos of some of the birds at the Crossroads show in Indianapolis this past weekend. I got this from the cochin thread so alot of the pics are of Cochins. I really wanted to go to the show. Hopefully I can next year. maybe it would be a bad idea though, someone said there were 1000 birds in the sale room!

Thanks for the cookie tin info. I don't have metal waterers, I'm not sure if it'd be safe to use them with plastic waterers, anyone know? Here's a link I found for 1 1/2 g heated dog bowls for $23 on Amazon.

I would think your group would be find in 100 sq ft. It's usually the winds that make it so dang unbearable. And if they're inside of a coop the wind is going to be blocked.
We got several of those oil filled heaters from WalMart last year when they were $35 and they're awesome! Nice and warm, hardly use an electricity and they're safe. I'm hanging one in each of the 2 chicken buildings about 3' up the wall with the food & water by it in the hopes it'll keep their water from freezing. It should. My precious Faverolles will have a 4'x4' coop built into one of the buildings with their own 8'x'10' pen. I'll sure sleep better knowing all the chickens are inside of an actual building. We won't dwell on the fact that I spent all my Christmas money and then some for chicken buildings and chickens pens

If not for the fact mine are actual pets I wouldn't be so concerned about it. Evidently I'm not capable of owning living creatures without going overboard and getting attached. Sigh.

Thank God for that!! I know how good you must feel to have her right there with you. Here's hoping she has an uneventful recovery.

Well you aren't the only one that goes overboard. My hubby says those chicken could never produce enough eggs to support themselves! I say they pay in enjoyment! I caught him in the pen feeding my polish by hand the other day

I don't get over being mad.
MJ, those Cochin bantam pics are soooo pretty!!! I don't know what my deal is but I just like the standard sized birds a lot better. Which is too bad because bantams eat a lot less and take up less room. I can only imagine what those people have to go through to keep those rooster tail feathers in perfect shape like some of those in the pictures. Wow.
Poco, that's the coolest milking stand. I wish I could make things like that. It seems like I've always got too many things that need doing and I don't get to do any of them right. I gotta say though, I do NOT miss my goats.
