Here are the girls, convinced the camera must be treat of some sort.

Two Light Brahma (Midge and Rodan)and two gorgeous Rhode Island Reds(Scarjojo/Ruby) just over a yr and laying. Both sets are very sweet, and can be handled easily -very pet-like and love, love, love to free range. 30.00 for each set of hens. If you are looking into starting to raise chickens...

I haven't seen a post asking if she submits to you? I've had my chicks 3 going on 4 yrs now so not an expert but I have had animals of various stripes all my life. This seems to be a dominance issue. If she doesn't submit to you I would make her and keep doing it until she stops trying to attack...

I think I had a successful hatch and that one hatch would be the limit of my experience. The eggs were from two different producers and I received the eggs in the mail. I made quite a few mistakes including that I did not 'rest' the eggs after they arrived in the mail. I later found out that the...

Thank you! Hope so too.

Godzilla is still a growing boy at 6 months. His tail feathers are finally coming in and his legs are like stalks. He is very timid and other than the young pullets he was raised with is bossed around by all my older girls. He has yet to crow!!! I am sure it is only a matter of time. He would be...

This was a great read, thank you for such a helpful article! Step-by-step, detailed with pictures. Would love a list of the grains you have posted in that close-up pic. Are the greens split peas?

Thankyou for the great article! Would love to know how you got them to age 10 and so many? Over the last year we lost three. they were only 3yrs. Your chickens longevity is a testament, I think, to the care you must give them.!

You definitely need to post that sort of crazy elsewhere!

Thank you all for the responses, I appreciate the ideas and feedback! I ended up just walking over and tried to be as non judgemental as possible and it seemed to go well. I explained about ventilation and ice cubes in the water etc. He mentioned that he did noticed that when he opened the door...

I agree, the listening shuts down pretty quick if you think your being judge!

What I think I decided is to make a print out on what to do for chickens during hot weather from a Poultry vet website and hand it to him saying I thought his wife might find this helpful, that it's something I find helpful for my chickens etc and without actually saying too much that might be...

Yes I can see the whole coop and they have the door to the lower run closed! This whole week, week and a half I have not seen the wife maybe she is a way. The husband is gone all day comes home 7-730pm opens the door ? But doesn't let them out, insane!

My new neighbors have three chickens they bought several months ago(spring time, all feathered)and set up a tractor supply brand coup, a petmate that is supposidly good for 6+ chickens. We haven't been able to connect with these people it's more likely because we're the poor folk hillbillies of...
