Hello again everyone, I haven't been on here in forever. Since then I have gotten pregnant and had a baby (who's about to turn 1)! Anyway, I had four of my chickens die because they jumped a six foot fence into the neighbor's yard and the neighbor has a dog.... So I ordered another batch this...

I am going to try to make it to the fair (shouldn't be hard since I live witin walking distance ) So the chickens are leaving on Sunday? That means I guess I should try to go tomorrow. Hmmm... I wonder if my family's up for a trip to the fair. Scares me though that some of the chickens...

Okay, rabbits are SO super cute! DH won't let me get any though unless we breed them to eat and I just don't have the heart so no little bunnies for me. Nice to see the cute pic though . I feel like I am a neglectful chicken mommy now since I am back in school. My girls whine at me when I...

Mojo Chick'n : No, Mr. Speckles needed another home - and he is with his girls who he's been with for so long. I am just upset because I need a reason for Mr. Feathers to die, ya know? I mean, I suppose it's a good death for him (if ya got to go, go in your sleep and make it a sudden thing) but...

Quote: I was wondering if anyone was going to the fair. I live almost within walking distance of it (if you're up for a long walk, lol). I have certainly been there but since this is my first year with chickens I wasn't buying anything I just looked at them and went, "wow, maybe I'll get...

Mojo Chick'n : Quote: Congrats I've been getting more and more pullet eggs lately. It's always nice when they start to lay. btw - Mr. Feathers is a Manly Man While the other three cockerels hang out together, Mr. Feathers has all the girls following him. He's a very good roo - I hope...

Okay, good, I was making sure I had it right just in case it comes up at the meeting. But in rereading it I realized something... technically I am allowed 5 hens and 1 rooster for every plot of land that is less than .5 acres. We actually own 2 plots as we got the side lot next to our house...

Quote: Okay, darn, am I reading this wrong? I thought this said 5 non-crowing, one crowing. But it IS a legal document so I may be misunderstanding it. "All crowing and non-crowing poultry must be kept on tracts or lots of at least .5 acres or more, unless a tract or lot is on less than .5...

Meri, As far as Feathers goes, if you can find him a good home then that would be okay. But wait just a week or so because of something I read today. We never go to our neighborhood association meetings but I noticed in the bulletin today they are having someone from metro animal services...

Mojo Chick'n : waiting, waiting..... Most of my pullets ought to be laying soon - my guess is within the next month at most, and the next two weeks at the soonest. I have 2 buff orps laying right now, and some barred rock girls getting red faces. I had a "chat" with hubby tonight, you know...

Meri, it is really cute to think of them playing in the rain So my chickens are getting bigger and I am waiting to see them start squatting when I come around so I can start looking for eggs. I am hoping sometime in the next month. Pixie is definitely living up to her name. She became top...

Quote: Aww, welcome to the thread! Your pics are cute!

Quote: Congratulations Shelley!! Good luck with the rest of it as well. I just took some new pics of my little flock, but I can't find the cord to my camera . It's probably in with all the stuff I brought home from school. I'll post some pics when I find it. Meri, we are missing...

I did get my chicks from Healthy Chicks and More. I had to find a company that sold in small batches. My Pet Chicken was outrageously high for shipping. So I found that site where I could order 10. They sent me a free "rare bird" (that was Feathers) and a packing peanut which was a BR roo...

Well, Meri, it was so nice to meet you and your hubby and see your lovely farm. I loved seeing Feathers out flirting with the girls, he seemed so happy. And he can crow his heart out there without any neighbors to complain. It is nice to see some pictures of him. It was definitely worth the...

Mojo Chick'n : Quote: I'd be happy to take him, but I live quite far from ya - I'm down at least two hours from Lousiville. (bottom end of Adair County). I started out with 25 light brahmas, not sure if any of them are roos (or what quality they'll be). Looks like I got a LOT of girls. They...

I know that this is a hopelessly pointless question, but I thought I'd ask just in case. I have a light brahma roo who is just over 12 weeks old. I love him to death and don't want to lose him but his crowing at 5:30 is bothering the neighbors. I was thinking of trying to build him a little...

Quote: How are you ? you are ver close to my home, we are about 12 miles from frankfort, may be one day we meet at the frankfort chicken show. Omran. Hi Omran! I saw your posts about the bucket feeder somewhere else on the site awhile back, nice to see you here!! In other news, I...

Quote: Awww, how cute! I love the little fuzzies and the momma is beautiful too! Congrats!

Mojo Chick'n : I need folks to come to the farm more often I get more "extras" sales that way. meri I would love to come visit sometime, if you'd have me (I know I am new here and all), though I don't think I'll be getting anymore chickens for at least a few years now barring catastrophe...
