I have a lot of chickens, yes they are just a "farm animal". But any chicken owner will agree they all have different personalities, and they become pampered pets. My first two girls were a Buff Orpington we named Fuzzy Butt & a Columbine Wynadotte that was named Boobies. Both of this girls were...

Took our 3 pullets who actually were roos, back to the breeder, yesterday afternoon. He had a group of 20 5-8 weeks old pullets, that were to old for the feed store. He said to pick out a half dozen. I picked out 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Barred Rocks(I just love the fuzzy butts) a black Armeracuna...

I got a young pullet 7-8 weeks old. She has white legs, no yellowish tinge, but white. She is also all white feathers. Broad breasted. She is shape like my 12 week old White Rock, but all my Rocks(White & Barred), have yellow legs. My Orpingtons all have white legs, but I considered that she is...

Too funny, have to share.

We in North Texas had such a mild winter & the drought. The flies are out of control. Battling them in the Barn, Bunny hutches and the coops are so bad. Cleaning,raking up spilled food, DE, shavings-every day. Then they are bothering the dogs and following them into the house. My twelve year old...

I have hatched chicken eggs before-with success. I ordered 5 Darth Vader & 5 White Button, was sent those and 4 extras. I candle them for shadows-I know I have one that is not vaiable. 100% with high humidty. My calender hatch date was the 3rd, nothing is happening. This waiting is killing...

I have been in bed with kidney stones for the past few days. Feeling bad. If you seen one of my past threads I had a White Faced Black Spanish(Domino) pullet(2.5 months), who had a broken leg. We removed her from the coop with the little girls(2 months). Her leg is now healed, we tried to put...

My 12 year old son gave me my mother's day gift today. A day early, I told him he could wait and give it to me tomorrow. He wanted to give it to me today. Okay, I look in the gift bag, and pull out a box. I clear box from the pet store--that contained crickets. He got me a box of 24 live...

My Silver Lakenvelder had not laid an egg for 5 weeks, she has in 6 days laid 5 eggs. I took them all since we have no Roo. She is now protecting a trio of golf balls. If any of the girls go near her, she carries on, makes noise creating a racket. I have never had a bird go broody, but I think...

I was moving my 8 week old girls cage, tripped over the dog and dropped the cage. My White Faced Black Spanish, now has a broken leg? I feel like a bad chicken mama. I have two cut down cotton swabs, supporting the leg wrapped in quaze then tape. She is drinking water. What else can I do for...

My RIR & Cuckoo Maran are 20 weeks, then my Barred Rock is 22 weeks. When will these girls start laying? They have been on complete layer feed a full month now. They are as big as my other laying hens(Orpington, Wynadotte, EE & Lakenvelder). They are free-ranged, have access to feed...

Watching all the girls wander the yard, a hierarchy stands out. Fuzzy Butt & Boobies are the graceful matrons. Shirley, Susan & Sparkles are busy bodies, and want to be in everyone’s business. Oreo, Blaze & Licorice are the young ladies trying to act dignified. Loppy, Starr, Flo, Estrella...
