Thank you very much and we had delicious duck eggs this morning! YUM

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of you BYC folks! Well, I finally settled in with 3 breeds of chickens free ranging in different areas BO, EE and Cream legbars. Oh but that couldn't be enough, I still have the pond (or what's left of it) that needs some fixtures on it so I have new...

Help please! Hi folks...One of my 18-week-old pullets has what I think is a breathing problem. When she inhales there is a raspy growl type sound and when she exhales it sounds like a kitten meowing. I gave her a little Nutri-Drench by mouth and I swabbed some VetRX into the roof of her mouth...

Anyone interested in 17-month-old laying hens, Black Australorps and Buff Orpingtons? I get 12 to 13 eggs /day from 19 of them. PM me if interested. I also have for sale some Roosters from an English BO Roo and American BO hens that are 13 weeks and as large as my grown hens. Young Rooster

I copied this: Ammonia fumes can be dangerous to the chickens, causing eye and lung problems. (And did you know that bleach can mix with the ammonia in chicken poop and create toxic fumes? I clean everything with Oxine Animal Health Sanitizer (...

I got my first Cream Legbar eggs today. They didn't lay in the nest boxes but under the garden shed, two in a bale of pine straw and two in the gravel in a nest that resembles a Killdeer nest. They are small and a nice blue color. All my other chicken are laying well now. Collected at noon...

It seems when I post the forum goes dark! Well anyway I have a fine specimen that needs a new home. He is 20 weeks old, friendly and lives at the barn free to roam but hangs close. He is free to a fine backyard chicken person. He's a White Crested Black Polish Rooster with his crest up in...

Thanks kat! I keep a dusting box in all the coops but they free range on grass and sometimes get caught in a heavy rain on the way to the coop or garden shed. I don't have much to do with it, they handle that all alone.

Some of the chicks I hatched this year. I have two CL roos out of nine that hatched, I sold the others. The Buffs are from an English BO roo and American BO hens. They are 9 weeks old and really large. One of the CL pullets That's a turkey cooker I made into a feeder and it doesn't take...

Had a surprise this morning as I was checking chickens and gathering eggs. I have some free ranging EEs that roost in a hoop coop on the garden side of the lake. They turned 18 weeks yesterday and I changed them over to layer pellets. We give them fresh cold water every morning and check things...

I bought them as 2 day old and don't have a clue about parents. I bought 5 and they're all very different in color, size and shape. I beginning to like the splash more also as they get older.

If anyone is looking for CL Roos I have 7 and 14 week old for sale.

Time to get rid of an EE Roo, which one would you keep? I like both of them but one has to go. They're 14 weeks old.

Hi folks...I got my new coop finished and nest boxes are ready to go in but no hurry for that. Inside picture Outside with temporary turn out until I finish my fences. They'll have an acre to free range around the lake. Panels cover the door and windows in winter time Phillip with his...

New coop. The last one I built was a hoop coop tractor so I took this another step and am building an insulated hoop coop. This is under my shed roof at my shop and will be fenced off to the lake on one side and the existing fence on the other side to separate from my free ranging BOs. This one...

Sorry about your chicken, I wish I knew more to help but maybe one of these folks that treat their birds will chime in.

Hi Folks...back up and about building coops and working around the farm again after some health issues. I'm just now able to write about the loss of my best friend a couple of weeks back. RIP Harry! He lived and traveled with me for over 17 years, hiking in the mountains, swimming in the oceans...

My Bad, pardon me please. I like yardbird but quail or grouse wrapped in bacon is the Crème de la crème. Yum!

Those ribs and chicken halves look great!! Well if you're going to fire up the smoker you may as well put some meat on it! Making rubs and sauces and cooking with wood is one of my favorite hobbies!
