Do not go out in the chicken coop with flip flops on. Toes are appetizing, apparently! I was trying to get windows open, to see if a breeze would help on this hot day, and I couldn't keep them away from my toes, lol!

Our local farm and ranch supply store (Campbell's Supply) has a few bags of "Pheasant Crumbles" sitting by their front door, with clearance stickers of $6.99 on them. Plain white bag, no picture...not even sure if there was a tag on them, with protein percentage, etc. because I was carrying a...

I am usually home during the day, so would have checked on the chicks several times throughout...went in to town to help my husband mow a 2 acre lot, and mow at his boss' landscape company. I have two heat lamps in the baby chick coop, and a third sitting on a shelf, that is hooked to a...

I had 10 blue copper Marans eggs, and then some EE eggs from a BYC'er here that had beautiful birds. Nothing. I haven't hatched for over a year, and granted, I just got the incubator going again (Brower top hatch) and they were shipped eggs, but still, nothing. I had some temp drops...

Not that I don't appreciate him picking it up, I really do! I told him to make sure it wasn't medicated, but didn't even think of the %...It's the same farm supply store, just the one on the other side of town, that apparently carries this one-both feeds are Nutrena, I normally buy the...

I have three of these (all came from the "Pullet" bin...two look to actually be pullets ) They came from Tractor Supply, who I believe, ordered from Privett's. The bottoms of their feet are not what I would call yellow, but more flesh toned, with maybe a little yellow tinge to them. Maybe...

I received all 93 chicks alive and chirping. I did get the first batch a day before the other, which did confuse me at first (Welp does drop ship from a few other hatcheries-my Brahmas and Speckled Sussex came from New Mexico) But I'm happy to see everyone alive, and eating and drinking with...

My husband laughed at me, as he answered my cell phone at 2:55 because I was sound asleep...be careful what you ask for! I had specifically went up to the distribution center (about 20 miles away) and had to get a number for the expeditor, and called him to see if he could call me, instead of...

I think these are Jersey Black Giants? Note the "Pullet" up front Sex Link: RIR...another "I think" lol: Love these two: My little Cochin is a Birchen, from what I can tell: Last one

But I did a pretty good pout the whole way home, I did have the TSC employee pull the two Silkies out of the Broiler bin though, poor things! I can usually get my husband to give in, but with 68 chicks coming this week it didn't work. Oh well, I like to think that I blessed another chicken...

So..I couldn't wait until April 18th, when my huge order is coming in...these little guys came home with me: I have 2 of these-pretty sure they are white Silkies: One of these-in the pullet bin: One of these-in the bantam bin: One of these-in the bantam bin: Three of these-in the...

What can I say, life took over, With 4 kids and a house to run, I haven't had much time for things I enjoy. l lost several chickens to a coyote attack-even my beloved Brahma rooster Rudy And I just haven't had my heart into it for some time. We've since rearranged our coops and I have a...

My DH just took Max, our Doberman into the vet. I was watching him yesterday while he was outside, and he was trying to go potty with no success. He didn't go at all yesterday, and you could tell he "had" to. When he didn't eat his food last night, I knew something was wrong. Max is an...

A few weeks ago, my boys became really sick. In the bathroom constantly, etc. We had gone through a bout of stomach flu right after new years, so figured it was just our luck to pick something up again. My 5 year old was down for several days, just laying around, no energy, etc. My 7 year...

Okay, I *know* I've done it before, so what on earth am I doing wrong? I go to my photobucket, click on the img code, and it just highlights it, instead of saying "image copied" or whatever it usually says. I tried to right click on a post anyway, to see if it would work, and "paste" is not...

Hey everyone! Yeah, I kind of slacked off in the chicken forum departments, this summer/fall/and now winter I got hooked back on my Breyer Horse forums, and ended up tripping on the cord to my incubator, and tossing it to the ground, in essence eliminating me from the "hatching crowd" That...

All three will be a year old this spring. I had my fun raising ducks, now someone else can have the messy little boogers Located in southeastern South Dakota, just south of Sioux Falls. Also have a Blue Cochin cockerel available.

Yep, I decided to leave them be-in the coop, and not seperate them into cages. I figured if they hatched, yay, if they gave up-which I figured at least one of them would, that's okay too. Of course, both of them pulled the distance, sometimes sharing the nest, sometimes taking over while the...

I went out to check on my younger chicks in the coop this morning, and found one of my two blue Orpington chicks dead I have a board going across the door, so when I open the coop door they don't start jumping out, or the big birds going in. The board was down partway, and had trapped the...

I thought this was a neat picture, on a rare sunny day This is looking down our driveway, from in front of our house. Looking towards the gravel road A cool planter that a family friend gave me, when she moved to an apt. So sweet of her! My new favorite annual this year And the other...
