Good morning fellow chicken enthusiast, I have a Blue Egger Pullet who is almost 1 year old now, she has 5 other sisters 4 EE's and Biel. We have a 6x6 coop with a 8x12 run, that opens up to a 15x65 free range area full of jungle gyms, perches and things any chicken would love to scratch in...
Fellow chicken crew, I have an 11th month old BielFelder Pullet which started showing some signs of possible sour crop or maybe something else in which I need the experience of this group.
Our Pullets are all on Nutrena all flock 20% pellets with free choice of oyster shell whenever they need...
I just placed our newest order for babies from Myers today! I know, I know, but I wanted a few special breeds and such so I had to pull the pin and get my order in. Anyone else already placing orders for 2024, if so what's on your shopping list?
Ordered Speckled Sussex, Blue Americana, and...
I am coming to the best place to try and figure out what our Pullet might be. We received our girls the last week of May of this year, we ordered 5 EE's and 3 Bielefelders, and of course there was an extra chick included. 1 of our precious BF's passed on day 3 but all others are doing great...

Gross right? We'll I received word from my wife and daughter that 1 of our 12 week old Bielefelder Pullets beat and swallowed whole a large size frog that hopped into the wrong area at the wrong time. This did not seem to bother her at all, all other girls were jealous of course haha.

We were blessed to start our very first flock back in 2011 with 16 wonderful little chicks from Meyers Hatchery. We built them the "chicken mansion" and huge runs, and free range area for their growth and wellbeing. At the time there was just my wife, daughter and I to care for the 16 little...
I have a problem with heavy rains and drainage with little options at the moment. Our coop is in the city limits so we are limited in size and where we can install, so I'm within all my limits at the moment and cannot relocate. With heavy rains, about 1/3 of my run which is a 9ft by 16ft...
Our story begins on Wednesday May 24th 2023.
Our order of 8 baby chicks shipping out from Iowa on the way to NC and our eyes were glued to the tracking updates as we watched our little girls make their way to their new forever home. This was not the first time we have ordered our babies in the...
