If you have owned poultry you have probably dealt with mites, lice, or other creepy crawlers. One of the cock birds at home turned up with northern mites (correct me if I'm wrong). They are very tiny little bugs, smaller than lice. They appear to be specs of dirt moving around on the bird. Most...
I figured this maybe the best place to ask about people's experiences renting and owning chickens. I am not looking to rent right now. More like 6-12+ months down the road. I am currently living at my parents with all my birds. I know I won't be able to have the numbers I have here now (...
I myself do not own dairy cattle, goats, or other dairy livestock but I enjot learning and following others on facebook to see their farms and what they do. I had started following a dairy farm on facebook (shall not be named) because it was a family owned buisness and the animals looked happy...
Hello all. I am in the works of creating an illustrated book for the SOP of the wyandotte. I want to publish it but I want to be sure I am not infringing on any of the American Poultry Associations rights.
I am not quoting the Standard of the Perfection because I know the APA owns the rights...
...them shortly after.
Also this is open to anyone around the world since these are prints and not live chickens :o)
Best of luck to everyone!

One of my hens I let go broody and hatch babies recently became injured. Yesterday I noticed her beak was injured pretty badly... She can eat but it seems to be difficult since her top beak is longer than the bottom. She acts fine and the only reason it caught my eye was due to taking photos...
On my little farm we finally decided to get a Great Pyrenees as a guardian dog and loving companion for my brother named Gwynn. She has done amazing with baby goats and piglets protecting them like her own puppies. She is just about to turn a year old and we have had her since about 8-10 weeks...
A strange peacock recently arrived at our house. Either abandoned or wondered but he completely uprooted the balance we had with our peacocks. He chased our white eyed pied india blue male off our property. We tried to find the males owner with no luck and decided to catch him and bring him to a...
...Lady Amherst's and NOT Red/gold x amherst hybrids. Lady Amherst are hard to find and adults are even harder. Take a hold of this rare opportunity!
***For trio is $180. Sadly we cannot ship due to lack of time and proper shipping boxes.

I was collecting eggs from my barn flock when I dropped an egg. Picked it up and all of these "bubbles" were in the egg. I have no idea what it is .... Thought maybe someone has seen this before?
The hen is healthy. The only thing that is "different" about her is that she was inside for severe...
My family and I had originally rescued a baby potbellied pig from some idiot college students that needed to get rid of him due to the land lord not wanting him there. They had put him on Craigslist and our friends son saw him and immediately rescued him and asked us to care for him so they knew...
Recently one of my dogs was ill. Her name is Monchou which is short for "my little cabbage" in French. She is a goofy, black great dane who will always put a smile on your face. About 3 weeks ago my brother walked into our living room and found a huge pool of blood. When I say huge I am meaning...
The other day I saw 3 of my orpington roosters being very rough with one of my hens. I watched them and she ran into the coop. Her sister was pestered by the boys but she told them to stop. They overwhelm the other girl and she was just not as assertive as the other girl. I didn't like the...
I found this news report while working and thought if anybody can/ would be able to help it would be BYCer's. To put the story short a cock fighting ring was raided and 49 roosters were taken. Some were already dead when they arrived. Now they have all of these roosters in a Cleveland, OH SPCA...
Hello everyone I want to ask a favor of my fellow BYCers. I am hoping to start a new Wyandotte (or other breed) illustration but I only have good reference photos of silver laced and partridge wyandottes. I am hoping to do a piece with a different colored Wyandotte. Not sure what color yet but I...
I was recently told about this horrible case. A lady in Broad Run, Va is running a puppy mill out of her house! The conditions are deplorable and just sickens me to know those poor dogs are living in those conditions. The court hearing is tomorrow at 2:00pm if anyone wants to go and voice their...
Not many people at school understand what I am going through so I thought I would ramble on here. Right now I am a full time student in Ohio while my parents and farm are in Virginia. I have seriously started dealing with poultry and have been "getting my ducks in a row". I have a page on...
