They do have tails, yes! I prefer my chickens with tails too. I know there's nothing wrong with the rumpless chickens, but it just look a little weird to me haha😅 They are full sized, or they will be, right now they are about the size of a little bantam lol. In two weeks they will be joined by...

Just picked up my first little babies! They were a little confused where they were at first, I don't think they've been out on grass before, but they quickly started pecking and scratching around. :love Meet Biscuit And Name Pending 😅 Both are purebred araucanas and about 8-9 weeks old...

I will absolutely post pictures! Bird flu sucks. I'll have a covered run for them and I do plan on letting them out into the garden under supervision eventually, as long as I'm in the garden there won't be any wild birds. I really hope vaccination will be possible soon. It's outrageous that it...

Yes very good. But also very busy. I've been working really hard on my coop and it's almost finished. I'm getting the first little pullets this weekend as the seller needs the space, so they will be put up in temporary lodgings while I finish. Meaning I'm gonna build a little improvised door to...

That last picture! :lol: I'm glad your girl is okay again maceleneo

My chicken dream might come true a bit earlier than I thought! I'm breaking down my old garden shed and realized it's actually a perfect spot for a coop and run. I drew up some designs and showed my partner. He's still on the fence, but where it used to be a hard "no", it's now an "I don't...

That's at least a little reassuring for me, thanks :)

The avian flu is terrifying to me too. I don't have my own chickens but I know a lot of people who do and a few weeks ago animal control found 4 dead swans in a pasture in our area. It was bird flu. There aren't any chicken farms near us I think, we mostly have hobby people and zorgboerderijen...

Unbelievable! I am really raging! So glad he got at least some of his birds back and the thieves got what they had coming, but still! I'm a pretty friendly person and it takes A LOT to get me really angry, but this just makes my blood boil and makes me want to scratch their eyes out :mad: Is...

That is horrific! I am furious on your behalf! :mad:

@BDutch How would you know if there is a high infection pressure?

BABY! :love

Hope your husband recovers well! what kind of breeds are you hatching?

sure! https://cluckin.net/breeding-chickens.html This is the first entry of the blog in case you want to go through the whole thing like I am. As far as I know he doesn't have an archive on his site so I had to click through quite a few times to get to the first entry haha He does have linked...

Food is so interesting for me too! I'm reading my way through the blog of a Yorkshire breeder who mainly has barneveld chickens, but also a lot of heritage breeds and some hybrids. He also occasionally rescues ex battery hens. He has a lot of information about feed and nutrition and decades of...

Oh really? All the hobby farms, zorgboerderijen and backyard keepers around me are just letting them out. Hobbyfarms and BYK in their gardens or runs and zorgboerderijen in their courtyards or pastures/ open runs. I think I saw one lady who covered her fenced field with netting to keep wild...

I agree, in my chicken plan I am including both a large covered run, a chicken moat around my veggie garden and access to an area of grass where I might also plant berry bushes. All very much in the future, but I'm one of those people who loves to make detailed plans about things. I get to feel...

Yeah I know, some on my wishlist are gonna require some serious sleuthing. But I'm pretty good at googling my way to an answer, so I think (hope!) that it'll work out. Question for everyone: What do you feed your chickens? I've read SO MUCH about different kinds of chicken feed and it's...

Hello everyone! I'm a new member who finally decided to register after a few weeks of just reading along. This thread was actually the tipping point because I really wanted to be able to join in with the other europeans. I'm from the Netherlands. I live in the northernmost province of...
