When ever I go to the page it just shows a post form 6-6-12 then a response from the auther, my post and then nothing. I can't see any other posts other than that.

oh they are both definately males... Scar's coloring when dry is total grey. when he is wet it looks brown etc. Who knows. .. I just think they are pretty dang cute... either way they both are getting fixed when they are old enough. lol...their mama is a grey white colored persian. Dad is Yellow white cream colored.

I took all the chicken nuggets outside and put them in a pen so I could clean their cage. They loved scratching around in the grass.. now all back in the house and singing like crazy..

better pic of scar..he didn't want to hold still so this is him dryed off... lol

Scar looked calico in the last picture. He's cute.

So, you remember the other day when I posted about the 18'x7' three door building that I found on craigslist that I wanted and could not get?
Well I still don't get it

BUT..... I was just informed that there is a 10'x14' Latte stand that is available to me for FREE!

I will find out tomorrow.
The only things I wlill have to do is put wire mesh on the windows, cut a chicken door, put up nest boxes and the roosts! Oh boy so I have my fingers crossed.

That would be sooooo cool. If I had the room I was thinking it would be cool to convert one of those into a chicken house.

How are the silkies doing?

I had a great time in Seattle today. I took 6 raspberry and 2 gooseberry plants over to Rainwolf's. Then we drove to Home Depot and got some of the supplies for her new fence. Came home with 3 new chickens, 3 jars of homemade jam and a jar of pickled beets. Somehow I think I came out the best today. Thank you Dellana. And tell your mom thank you too. You are both lovely real people, inspirations.

Is anyone interested in approximately 50+lbs of Scratch and Peck Grower feed? After debating with myself and considering all options, I have decided this isn't the best feed for my flock. They simply aren't growing as fast as many other birds their age (when compared to my friends' flocks) and I think they aren't absorbing the nutrients like they should. I provide grit but it isn't helping the matter, and despite how much I love my chickens (as evidenced by the fact I sleep in the guestroom with sick birds, LOL!), I just don't want to hassle with scooping out all the extra crumbs from that particular feed and mixing it in with something else so they will eat it. What I have left is worth at least $30 dollars and I'm asking $20 for it, just to pay for another bag of feed. It's currently in my airtight feed container so you'll need your own pillow case to transport it home. It's Grower, for 8-20 weeks. Let me know!

Also...who has pullets (off a heat lamp) ready to go to a new home? I would like 2-3 more 6-16 week olds. Light colored Easter Eggers and/or Marans preferred. They will live separately in the new hutch I posted pics of until they are comparable size to my current flock. Let me know if you have anything that might work for me!

Oh...I'd trade the feed I listed above for a pullet as well

Here's the new hutch. What do you think? Can I use it for brooding mamas and babes and/or new pullets and if so, how do I make it work well for them?

I like it, FWJ! Nice score. I agree with VF's suggestion of putting some wood down, especially if some of the younger chicks' feet might be too small for the wire holes at first.

Very Welcome and Thank you!

I could make hutches like that, not too expensive either -- oh .. someone asked about treadle feeders -- Kim I think -- would anyone else be interested in those?

I might be!

Congrats, I hope the latte stand works out well for you. And the price is right!
