    Rooster making a nest...

    We were wondering if anyone had ever seen a rooster making a nest for his hens? A couple of our hens go into cages at night and to lay their eggs. A few weeks ago, and every time since, we watched in amazement as, after we put fresh hay in the cages our RIR roo hopped into the cage and started...

    Egg Conversions?

    Hi! A couple of months I was surfing the net and found a list that showed how many quail eggs = a chicken egg, how many quinea eggs = a chicken egg, bantam, duck, and goose eggs. I thought it would be handy, but silly me, I didn't print the information out. I was wondering if anyone had the...

    Do You Dream In Color?

    I dream often and in color although I have had black and white dreams where one color, like red or blue, would stand out. I love dreaming now, but I had horrible nightmares as a kid. They were the bane of my youth, then I learned to control them and am a lucid dreamer. I get a modge podge of...

    We're curious what these might have in them...

    Thank you so much. I appreciate the ideas of what might be there. I know they're pretty muddled but I was just hoping for some ideas and I've got a few now. My grandmother is tickled. I have noticed a few that don't appear to have tails, I'm assuming that's from the EE, maybe some Araucana...

    We're curious what these might have in them...

    My mom and sis left us with a few chickens a couple of years back. We now have 2 roos and 2 hens from the same batch. All my mom and sis knew was that there might be some "game" in them. At the time, my grandmother and I didn't know much about chicken breeds. Since then, we've gotten a lot...

    Sleep talking! Post your looniest statements...

    It's so nice to know I'm not alone. As a kid I sleepwalked a bit. I scared the be-jeezus out of my aunt several times when she'd go to the kitchen for a snack, turn on the light, and find me sitting on the kitchen table with my ankles crossed and swinging. Other times, there were furtive...

    Sister Wives.. anyone watching it tonight?

    Ooo...I wanna watch but forgot it was coming on. Everytime my fiance sees the ad he asks if I want a sister wife, I tell him only when he gets a brother husband. And I have seen at least 2 programs with a woman with multiple husbands. In one, this was years ago, the courts were threatening to...

    Drakes - Can I have more than One Muscovy Drake

    We have several boys and girls, mostly boys. Initially, they all ran loose and there was minimal fighting, everyone had room to run away if they got into a scuff. Later we had to pen up the hens, they were getting picked off by predators. All the males mingle fine loose together, they just...

    She passed yesterday. Thank you for your help, though.

    thinking about a guinea?

    We have a single guinea in a run with a few chickens. Originally, there were 6 hand raised keets that had grown up in the house and were friendly enough to be handled. We put them out in the run, they got on fine, and a raccoon or opossum came in the night and slaughtered all but 1. It was...

    Reason #973 why I don't go barefoot anymore...

    I grew up with tons of cats and have found and been subject to many "gifts." One was a live rabbit that died later another time it was finding a mouse head in the bed. It's disgusting but hard to get angry when you know they're just trying to contribute to the family. My current kitty, the...

    Hen has been sick for weeks, could it be encephalitis?

    No replies, yet. My grandmother and I are at our wits ends, we just don't know what else we can do to help this hen. We're so worried that the crooked neck is permanent. *sigh* I just hope she starts eating finally and starts perking up soon.

    Feathers! What do you all do with those beautiful feathers?

    Last fall I noticed all the beautiful Muscovy feathers that littered my grandmother's lawn and thought it was a shame to just leave them all to the cats to play with. My grandmother, our friends, and I all like to smudge with sage. I was in a shop one day and noticed how expensive...

    Hen has been sick for weeks, could it be encephalitis?

    We have a buff bantam hen who is maybe a year or 2 old. Some friends gave her to us so there isn't any real telling how old she actually is and how she was raised. We've had her for maybe 6 to 7 months. She's been a consistent layer but a little mean to a young Brahma hen in the coop. Then...

    Hello there from FL!

    Hello all! I'm new to this site and have been thoroughly enjoying perusing the site which I found when searching for info about our chickens. I was born and raised on a dairy where we had a variety of chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, just about everything else at one point or another. About...
