I hope to see everyone at Chickenstock on May 18th! I have very little to sell but I have to go because it is so awesome! I know I will see some of you there but anyone considering it needs to make plans to go. It is so much fun!

I really want to go but my husband is working and i have my 2 kids & it's a long drive. Hmmmmm wish I could get someone to go with me.

I ended up with 3 chicks that hatched. They are so adorable but I wished more survived.

Also I have been battleing Bumble foot with one of my hens. Poor girl.

Welcome to all the newbies!!!

Dang it the chicken stock is already here.I'm not ready lol I wanted to win the lotto first so I could buy what I want. Anyone got some lucky numbers I can use?

We haven't seen the sun in nearly two weeks here in Lancaster...and we won't see it til Wednesday or so. I am thankful that all this rain has wiped out the drought here in SC...but I would SURE like to see some sunshine soon!

@RedBugPoultry...I see you raise Guinea hens....and I've also noticed (after reading Backyard Poultry magazine) folks also raise pheasant. Is that because they are being raised for meat? I'm curious....and are the birds free range in fields?

@Mike Richey - Hey!

Not sure of redbugs answer, but for me, Guinea's are for insect contral and exercise. they eat bugs, we walk the field hunting eggs.

Is this crazy weather screwing with your laying hens like it is mine. I got 2 eggs out of 12 hens yesterday.

Never has this happened. The only thing I can think of is this weather!

My hens have been all messed up too. 17 hens, one still raising a chick, so usually I get 12-15 a day. I've been getting 7-8 a day since the monsoon season started. I got 10 yesterday though, so I'm hoping they are back on track today.

I got 3 out of my 3 yesterday and I was thrilled! I'm telling you... they are part duck!
