I keep my feed in a galvanized feed bin in a cool, dry garage. Nutrena has been my feed of choice because of the smaller pellets. But, since early this year, I've found debris that appears to be recycling material (fibrousy blue stuff woven into the pellets and hard pieces of wood) and the...

I have three SFH roos hatched April 30th that are in need of a home. If interested, I may deliver if within several hours from me. I thought I would try here before craigslist. I've included photos of their parents. Thanks for looking. Parents:

Help!!! I thought I could just add mom and her brood back in with the other cochins, but she wants away from them now! She paces back and forth to get out. She is terrorizing the little ones....some have gone to roost already and it's only 6pm. When she moves around, they flee for their...

Butch, my cochin roo, was killed last night by something that scaled the chicken wire and got over the 6 foot chicken wire and under the heavy deer cloth on the top. This was going to be a temporary setup....actually, today, I had planned to put him in with three hens. I feel SO bad that I had...

Early this morning, I noticed one of my hens could not stand. I remember yesterday noticing she was sitting on her egg in the pen area. I didn't think anything of it at the time because she went broody along with the Swedish Flower Hen she is in with that now is mothering (4 ) two and a half...

I put in an order for a Brinsea Mini Advance to arrive Jan. 2, but it has been delayed due to the weather. My dilemna is that I have jumped the gun by gathering the eggs and placing them in a plastic shoebox atop a hot water bottle resting on a nice cotton/muslim pillowcase. I then placed this...

I found homes for 6 roos out of my earlier 10 chicks, so made room for these beauties. What do you think of these 12 week old Swedish Flower Hens? They are huge for 12 weeks! I wonder how their plummage will change...I see a bit of reddish brown emerging in the black hen, Ingrid. The roo is...

Hi, I have been feeding and caring for 13 neglected (free ranged, I believe he calls it) on my property since April. The neighbor finally caught 7 of them and passed them on to another individual. Unable to catch the rest, I decided to build them a coop and get a few more chickens to lure...
