Backstory, my coworkers and I are dressing up as farmers for Halloween. We work in a nursing facility of a very rural state where most people were at least raised on farms, we thought it would be fun for our residents. One coworker doesn't own any "farmer" clothes so I suggested pajama pants...

Hi, NC peeps. Missing being around people who think like I do. NC, born and raised, moved to ND not quite 3 months ago. For the most part people are nice but the chicken folk on here don't chat much. I am at my whits end right now. We bought a place up here and were told our flock was welcome...

Needing to rehome a silkie rooster. He's been a pet, is healthy and handled easily, partridge colored. Don't want to rehome but we have to since we moved up here so I would like him to go to someone that would keep him with some ladies. Message me if interested, we're near Mercer.

Wow, I will have to call around and see if I can find anyone willing to give it a try then. Thanks

Hi all, a quick update on moving the flock. We did it. Last week we moved from NC to ND. It took 3 FULL days of driving to get here. We purchased an enclosed trailer and had extra vents installed. The entire flock made it safely. We were very blessed that we didn't lose anyone on the trip.

Hello folks. I moved to ND during the last week from NC, long drive. My hubby has been here for a while and we were finally able to join him. Does anyone know of a vet in Bismarck or Minot that will see ducks/chickens? Just in case we need one?

Love the stories everyone!!! Sadly our friendliest rooster, Lunkhead, passed this weekend. He was sexed incorrectly at the hatchery, there was actually 4 incorrect chicks, but we decided to keep him. So happy we did. He was huge but such a big ol love. He was way to full of himself to come up...

So sorry for my extreme tardiness. Life has been a mess the last few months. I agree with Bobbi-j, that looks like a Barred Rock. The comb is the wrong shape for a Dominique.

Hi, I think the Pekins are less moody than the Swedish. We have 1 blue female 3y/o, 1 black female 1/yo and 1 black male age unknown as he was a rescue. The 2 females were hand raised just like the others and still don't really have a use for me. The pekins are a more friendly and although they...

Thank you very much I noticed that too, always found it odd that houses are built so close together. It is happening more and more here too. Developers will tear down one house and put 2 or 3 on the same property. I had found a few in the outskirts of that area a while back. Thank you! Good to...

lol, I went back and did see the addition. I have bookmarked the offices so I can call them tomorrow. We are looking to be within a max of one hours distance to Bismarck since my hubby already works there and it will most likely be the location of my job as well.

That was very helpful! Thank you! We are looking for the country primarily but have only found houses in the cities.. Most of them are in small towns like the ones I mentioned and are not surrounded by houses. By property I mean that we would love to have more than an acre but are not looking...

If the young one is otherwise healthy I personally wouldn't put it down. I would bring it in and put it in a crate so you can supervise it though. Our crested did this a lot when she was small, she eventually did stop but that may not always be the case. She walked like a weeble wobble her whole...

Not too sure about what to do for that. You can try putting him in a submissive position repeatedly everyday so you become the dominant chicken in the flock, this worked on one of my aggressive hens. You could also file his spurs or remove them, I file the spurs off my banty hens. When I had an...

Please help me out... I have a question about ordinances up there. My husband is still in Bismarck and we are still actively looking for a house with property. What are the ordinances in the smaller towns like, towns like Reagan, Tuttle, Steele, etc? Are you allowed to have flocks? Does the...

They are all so adorable! I have had a change of the friendly guard myself recently. Last spring one of our silkies decided she needed to be a mommy and before I knew it she had 2 eggs developing. One was a chicken and one was a duck. Well, as you could imagine since duck eggs take longer than...

Quote: Look at that adorable face! How sweet. We too hatched an only chick earlier this year. Lilly doesn't think she is a chicken. She refuses to go into the chicken pen and follows me around like a dog, even sleeps in a crate in the house at night.

Diva has a very unique look and is quite cute. She kinda reminds me of the buzzard in the old looney tunes cartoons. You are lucky to have such a friendly girl that looks forward to sitting with you like that. So lucky! All of ours have decided to be independent women, they have no need for us...

Don't you just love to watch them come flying in low, in such a hurry. You are suddenly the center of their universe and they just know you MUST have something for them. So Sorry!! Sounds like he had a long and happy life though. It is amazing how attached we get to our critters. People think I...

LOL, looks like she has a starter patch of chest hair that young boys are always so excited to get . She is quite pretty and looks like she knows it, too. Maybe you are right, I will have to look into getting a hen one day. Wow! That is a pretty flock of babies. Sounds like they love you just...
