Goofy question lol. Most of my chicks love trying to get my hair, all except one. She likes to snuggle up in my hair and go to sleep lol. She just started doing that this week and she's 3 weeks old. Is this normal or just weird lol. She's the only brahma mix I have (nobody else has brahma in them) is it a brahma thing?

Baby chicks often snuggle between the broody's body and her wing in the fine downy feathers, so it may just be that your hair is providing her the same sort of environment or sensation. Even when the chicks are getting older I will often find them still sneaking under the broody's wing, even though when the are standing on the ground their head sticks out above the wing!

The grand daughter and pup are adorable...
And your hens look gorgeous! Talk about some fluffy butts! I am jealous! 3 or 4 of ours molted since January and still look like ragamuffins...

Thank you! The chickens decided to do their "molt-thang" in the middle of all the crazy cold stuff this winter. It was pretty bad, I didn't know if My BL(Ginger) would make it..she would just sit there and look so out of it. She wouldn't eat, she would sit in the far end corner of the coop all pooffed up looking real bad. They eat like horses!! Can't wait to use the garden as supplement!!

we miss you here..

I miss everyone here too!!

...Do you know if Green Dragon is open "Good"Friday?....Todd and I will be there that day if they are..would LOVE to bump into anyone willing to be there too!

This is the coolest thing! My mom gave this to me, she does the on-line auctions...great stuff at great prices!!! This was in a 'lot' she purchased...it is perfect for collecting eggs, and when not in use, it collapses for storage.

CC or silkie, I need more info on the turkey eggs, like how many, when, what breed.

really wish I could get over this driving thing, panic attacks behind the wheel are real bad....I have chicks that I still need to get here, and now piglets that need to get here, still looking for anyone that may be going into maryland in may......how about you CC, care for a joint venture into swine....

I need to also make some decisions,,,, hubby says if I really want the piggies, I have to sell some birds, his way of being sure that he will not end up taking care of them....

and also not sure where they will go, wonder how well pigs can live with messy ducks

omgosh!! Piggies!!!! SO flippin' awesome Wing!! I just started "pinning" about those too....I could really get into big trouble if I didn't control myself...

You know how *Sharron has a miniature bull and heifer, their breed names escape at the moment, anyway...I found that there are many breeds of miniature cows and such !!! Even Guernsey!!! Oh, If I had just a bit more elbow room here.....

Don't get me started on mini cows! I have been wanting them for a while!
Wing, how many pigs are going to market, and what are your thoughts on pigs on Hogs?
I am going to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz next Wednesday. If you (Wing and CC was it?) live along the way to Stake's, I can get the birds that ... Okay, I forget who has/wanted what. The person that wanted two breeds that two people have, but live too far away. If I can get them, and bring them this far, I can't possibly live too far from the person that wants them. Does all that make sense?

I know this post is something separate but I drive to DC for work every 4 days. I just moved to York county so if that is somewhat close I could probably work something out with you. only thing is that I leave for work at 3:00 in the morning. PM me if you have any questions or would like and try to work something out.

Hi! I'm in southwestern Washington Co. I'm a new chicken momma and theres a couple breeds I would love to try. I would love Araucana, Ameraucana, Swedish Flower Hen, lavender Orps and Dominique. Is there anyone within driving distance that might have a couple of some of these? Thanks!

Actually, I think all of those needs, or most, are represented on this thread. I have the Swedish flowers, but I'm near Lancaster.

I have the dominique, but also in lancaster county

This is what I was talking about.

Clearfield is 5 and a half hours from Southwestern Washington County. But nice of you to offer...were you going to smuggle these chicks in your jacket on the back of the bike?

Jryan! How nice of you to offer to transport pigs! My kinda guy!! Is your last name Ryan per chance?

Kitten update...
Night had 8 kittens. The blue mackerel tabby died. She has 3 solid blacks, one black tortie, an orange that looks spotted tabby (the runt) and two tabbies (one classic and one mackerel) that may or may not be calico. They look like they have orange spots, but I really can't tell.

She had them back to back. She didn't take the time to help break sacs or clear noses. I am sure the one that died was the one I helped and was trying to clear his nose. He was in his sac the longest and I had to break it open because he wasn't able to. She did finally take care of the placentas. It took her until after 2pm. She kept resting. She's tired, hungry and dehydrated. She left them once already and I was concerned about whether or not she was going to go back to them. It took her a bit, but she did and gave me an evil look like I was trying to steal them.
