    I love having my birds we live in South Madison county, 1 mile from the city limits of Jackson. We got to watch one of my hens lay an egg (me my 5 yr old and 7 yr old) we go out and tend to them every day . I really enjoy my birds but I won't ever brood them in my house again lol -Heather

    We are now getting about3 eggs a day from our flock and this past Saturday my kids and I walked to the co-op to clean it and at the perfect time we got to watch one of the girls lay an egg. Its important for my kids (my two youngest 5and 7) to know where the eggs come from and why we have to...

    Welcome back to chickens, I hope you find the breed you are looking for. Benny and the jets is a great name. I love hearing what ever one names their chickens if they name them.

    So super excited. One of our Bard rock girls laid her first egg. I don't know which one but they all got berries as treats after we found it. She had laid it in the feed bucket because the top had gotten knocked off. Silly girls.

    Thank you Julie. My daughter loves our ducks. She has no fear of our feathered friends, if we need to see a chicken or duck up close we release the 4 year old and she brings one back to us. We have had her and our 7 yr old involved in their raising since the day we brought them home...

    My babies are 9 weeks old. This duck has a green bill and hardly quacks and when it does it is not nearly as loud as the other Rouen we have. Because of the quack could I have one female and one male? I am hoping for that or two females. We will love them regardless I only worry about two...

    My babies are now 6 weeks old. Their blue Speculum feathers are showing more and more. question is.. One of their "butts" seems larger than the other. Like more full and longer. Does that show a difference in sex?
