Hey everyone! I have not been on in, I don’t know how long...after being in school the last two years I’ve finally gotten a bit of a break and we decided to get chickens again! I have an available Black Copper Maran Rooster from GreenFire farms. We’re in Falcon, if anyone is interested, please...

I do like that we're getting more moisture, but this back and forth weather is really mess'n with me. I have cherry trees hanging out in the garage, waitin to be planted. I have raised beds waiting for planting. And my Apple trees do not know what to do. Crazy Colorado weather. Our chicks are 4...

Lol! Yes, it's the noise that really makes you crazy. I love hearing it while I'm in the house, and they are outside..but that high chick chirp being inside the house, is awful.

With our last flock, we donated hard boiled eggs to a church group that takes food to the homeless once a month. We got lucky, and someone that works with my husband was part of the group, and they asked if we'd like to donate. I ended up donating four or five dozen each time.

So, our 17 chicks are out of the house, and into the barn. We do like the effect being in the house for a couple weeks has on them, but I can only take it for so long. Noisy little buggars woke me up almost every day, the second a tiny bit of light was coming in. I honestly think 17 is way too...

Welcome! You have to post a certain number of times before you can add pics, if I remember correctly. ...just checked your post count, you have plenty, odd that you couldn't put up pics. Shipping tragedy, are you going to have more sent?

Hi guys! Well, I haven't been on in...forever. I hope everyone is doing well, and having great chicken luck. Our Mereks issues haven't kept us from keeping chickens. We have learned though, that our chicks must be vaccinated, especially if we're doing one of the imports, like Swedish flower...

This is that weird part of chicken keeping, that makes all of us wonder what the hell we're thinking keeping these things around. Are there certain birds your having more issues with? Like a particular breed? Crazy stuff you're dealing with right now.

It's been very nice outside today, we just cleaned out the garden for winter. Pulled up the dead plants, tilled everything and put down some composted shavings. Cleaned up the strawberry beds best I could, it's the first year with them so it's kind of a learn as we go. I have to wait for them to...

Having a disease hit your flock, when you had big plans, is devastating. It was months before we fully understood what was happening, and what we needed to do about it. With Mereks, you just watch them die, and see who comes out the other side still alive. It's quite sad. We were told that since...

I only have a minute, so didn't fully read both your comments, but had some thing to add. Our Cream Legbars and Swedish Flower Hens were hit the hardest by Mereks. The minute they turned four weeks, it's all down hill. On the other hand, any mixes have done fine. I did some reading on this and...

When I go through one of my giant red worm totes, it takes about four hours to remove all the worms from the casings. Messy, back aching work...but I still thinks it's pretty fun. The great thing is all I feed them is shredded junk mail and bills. I've been thinking about doing some mealworms...

Uzi, that pic of those two boys hating on each other, is great. I actually laughed at their stubbornness. I'm still amazed how tiny Odysseus is.

Everyone has those certain things they don't mind spending money on, it's not bad at all. I mean, I have a dog that eats 8-10 cups of food a day, and it is not cheap food either, I order it special online...without a second thought. Most of our family think we're crazy, but we just love him to...

Honestly, I would never take a chicken to a vet Possibly I might take a Peahen, if she were expensive or something like that, but never a chicken. I found this vet because I'm researching the idea of getting a pet bunny, and I needed to find vets that can neuter them, and treat them in case of...

That is helpful. And reminded me I found a place just two days ago, that has two vets that will see poultry. http://www.pikespeakveterinaryclinic.com

Double Kindness, how were your Cream Legbar Roos, personality wise?

Yeah, the calf manna isn't helping as much this time around. They're really looking trashed, I'm not quite sure why. We wormed them recently as well, so I know it's not that. I'll get it figured out just don't want them getting too cold in the next month or two.

We hatched them for a while, and I really disliked the Roos. They were just too aggressive. I have six or seven hens left, and we like their personalities well enough. Their mixed babies have become my favorite, very friendly, pretty birds. Wyandotte Cream and Cochin Creams. We've also found the...
