Jeannie, I have a spot for another lavender roo. I'd like to know where yours came from, I'm trying to be sure I don't have inbreeding. I have a roo from Josie that is with my buff orps, I don't want to move him because they're just such a pleasant group. I have some girls from Danz but...

Danz, did you say earlier that you had birds that you got at Christmas time that are already laying? I know you're going to get your internet stuff figured out soon but I feel terrible that you are having to go through so much for something that seems so simple. It just makes me cringe that...

Hi all. I just got all caught up on reading again. Looks like you all have been as busy as we have been. I loved all of the pics of the new hoop coops, and Trish, your coop looks amazing. Josie, so glad that your coops are coming together. Sounds like some of you had a fun trip to a poultry...

Thanks for all of the happy thoughts and wishes for my new grandbaby. I'm missing him already. It was so hard to leave, yet I wanted to be back home so badly. I checked on all my chicks, I can't believe how much they've grown. I hope the weather warms up soon so we can start moving them...

Hi all! I've been following along all week but haven't had time to post. My daughter had her baby, and he is just perfect. He weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. and we 3 weeks early. He didn't have any trouble though. Hawkeye, was it you that posted a link about infectious coryza? That sure does...

Hi all. It's been 23 crazy days since I've been on here. I hope that everyone is well. Our Internet has been miserably slow and discourages me from checking in. A few weeks ago my 11yo dd asked her dad to build her some dog kennels because she wants to raise and breed dogs. Of course, he...

Danz, my bread starter is fed with sugar, water and potato flakes. I really want to try one that doesn’t have sugar. I tried to grow one that was just flour and water but it kept getting stinky and I never got to use it. I should try that again. I know there is another that is typically...

Thanks for the info Hawkeye, I’ll keep them in mind and I’m not ready to switch on what I’m feeding the chicks yet. When I figure out what I want to try instead I may divide a hatch into two groups so I can compare notes. Josie, Toby was beautiful when I got him but gosh, he just keeps...

Yes, Prince Toby Tinkle Toes...

Danz, how are you liking using brewer's yeast to ferment the feed? I've tried using regular baking yeast just to use it up, what I had was over a year old. It worked great.

Who was it that was talking about thiamine defficiency in chicks? I just read that there is a drug called amprollium in medicated chick starter. I didn't read this on any official study, but I think it was from a link that Trish posted, not the same page but from the same site. I think it was...

Danz, you're going to have to take lots of pics so we can see all of this amazing work! I don't think those birds are calling it a 'shack' either, they have shelter and they're living in the luxury suite. :)

Michelle, we do have chain link and it's 6 ft. tall. We have nothing on top of it as of yet. We haven't had a lot of predator troubles but just recently something got our turkey. Why on earth the turkey with all those chicks out there? I'll never figure that out. The turkey was injured by...

Maidenwolf, I found a few more pics of your chicks on my camera and I uploaded them to the same folder. http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/mommyshome/Ambers%20Chicks/ BYC doesn’t like to upload pics for me so I’m uploading the pics I took yesterday onto photobucket. Included in this...

So was the avatar a Mandarin or a Wood duck? It is beautiful, I wonder if he’d think I lost it if I had some of those out on the pond. Thanks for think link Hawkeye, I joined. Thanks Trish, I will check them out.

Hi all. If anyone has extra time please post a response to this thread... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/738112/why-did-the-chicken-cross-the-road It's a child, so keep it appropriate please. Not that I thought you all wouldn't.

Thanks Ocap, I will look them up. What is that colorful bird in your avatar? They brought my new pens home, they are really super heavy. They already warned me they’re not moving them again. It's already in the brooder room. I don't know what I'm going to do with all of these brooder...

Sharol, that's an amazing story. I'm so glad she was able to recover so well. I love happy stories.

kansas chick, I love it when some get that tame that they beg for attention. I remember how it surprised me the first time I saw one of our chickens do that. It's so sweet.

Thanks Sharol, I will check them out now.
