And, welcome to our thread, the nicest people around. What kind of chickens do you have?
Are you in a neighborhood? On a large piece of land? We need to know! We like to buy, exchange, and see photos, and, tease each other, and, buy eggs, and, trade eggs, and, well, you get the picture! Come on in, and tell all!

Hi Everyone! Just a quick post, because I have to be up to go to work in 6 hours....

Diana (Sundancen) called me just before we were going to walk out the door to head to WVC and said she wanted my Cochin chicks for a friend. So we boxed them up and hauled them with! I FINALLY got to meet Sundancen! She's such a sweetheart! She brought me an adorable little pair of Seramas, as well. I'm in love already.

Here's a picture my DH took of us. Oh yes, and the adorable Jacques!

Sasha, looks like you had some fun on your drive! Cute picture of you two.

Buffbard, welcome!! So, yes, we need to know all about you. Do you have your chickens yet? What kind>? huh, huh!



Anybody want roosters between here and SLC? I posted 8 of the boys from the GSL hatch last week, and a couple 4 wk old EE/leghorn boys too on ksl today. I always hate sending them to unknown parts, I would be much more enthusiastic to take them to a BYC'er...we are coming to SLC next Saturday, easy peasy to drop them off.

G'nite all!

Just popped in for a quick sec before I go back to bed. I need to keep up on what y'all are doing, you know............

Copied this from what I just said over on another thread, sorry. I wanted to share:


My remaining egg from Flekka is working on hatching. I've been watching it for the last couple of days and didn't see any movement whatsoever, nor did it respond to light like it usually does. There was a bump on the shell where it looked like it had tried to pip, but couldn't break through the membrane. I was sure it was dead after a while, so I took a needle and very carefully lanced it, adjusted the humidity in the bator, and put the egg back overnight. I checked it this morning and found, much to my surprise, that it was moving again and trying to pip internally. I think it finally did pip internally this evening, but I've been moistening the little hole in the shell and checking on it every so often. I'm sorry, but I am just worried about this little one and had the feeling that I needed to help. I have no idea what day it's on. I'll be checking it again in the morning before work, and then again when I get home. I'm doing everything I can to try and avoid it getting shrink-wrapped in there.

Red, how is that egg going?

Buffbard, welcome! I'm in Clinton, so we're practically neighbors. I want to hear more about your flock too.

Kimmypie, the new yard sounds like it'll be great. If you were having poor luck with your garden, that's probably more about bad soil conditions and light than anything else. If you are living in a newish house (like less than 20 years), that could be your problem. Many builders will scrape the top couple feet off of the land to sell as "topsoil", and then build the house. So the ground doesn't have as many nutrients as it ought to. The first two houses we were in, I had to work much harder to get the gardens to work right. We'd bought each of them new. This house is a 60s era house, and they'd done a LOT of gardening/farming in the back, and my garden is pretty much effortless. Except weeds. Lots of weeds.

Sasha, glad you and Sundancen finally got to meet.

Lisa, I need more roosters like I need a hole in the head. At this moment, I finally have exactly what I want as far as roosters.

This is a lesson on how to get the chicken coop cleaned. Put an add on KSL offering hatching eggs. get a phone call from someone wanting chicken poop. Tell them you have lots of chicken poop mixed with shavings on your coop. Accept an off to clean your coop if they can have contents. Of course I accepted. Set time to have slaves come over. Slaves appear on time man and woman. Woman very very smart. She wore three inch heels. Pretty funny watching fashionista in three inch heels cleaning coop with devoted boyfriend. Enter Ruby the RIR. She insisted the three inch heels hold her. Boyfriend finish cleaning the coop while heels held ruby who is easily the ugliest chicken ever seen due to moulting and massive feather loss. After coop is cleaned and chicken poop in bags tucked in car trunk . Accept insisted payment of $20.00 for chicken poop. I told them it was worth watching that lady clean the coop in heels but they insisted anyway. Nice people
