That's right! The 3rd Annual NYD Hatch is not even over yet and more eggs are going in the bator. Anyone else certifiable or am I out on this limb all by myself?

I have had chickens for years and they are ridiculously easy to get information on, yay me. Now I have turkeys too and I keep trying to find some basic details but so far, have missed some things. 1. How old do they need to be to start laying? 2. Once they start laying, what is their laying...

To a wedding this weekend And Christams is coming which means arranging and rearranging the decorations in the new house And all those holiday recipes that I've been collecting over this past year can finally be put to good use I'm looking out the office window and there's not a cloud int...

I live in Alaska, much of my winter is around between 20F and -10F (or so) with occasional dips to -35F. I have just completed construction on our barn that will be the new chicken coop and need to decide how much ventilation to add. We have a very dry climate, our outdoor winter humidity is...

I've had chickens for a few years, most of that time my birds have lived in an 8 X 8 storage shed with no window Today, construction is starting on our new chicken house. You wouldn't believe how many builders laughed at me (or just didn't submit a bid) because I want a 20 X 40 chicken house...

Roo or Hen? After a dog killed most of my laying flock I found my last blue egg in the brush under the trees, she must have laid it right before the dog got her I took the egg straight into the house and plopped it into the incubator. 3 weeks later this little ball of black fluff popped out...

I have some turkeys, that I hatched with a batch of Icelandic Chickens, who act just like the chickens and roost up high, in the rafters of the coop. I have another batch of turkeys that hatched all by themselves and have never lived with chickens, so I don't know what to expect. Where do...

I am in need of a game involving chickens, for non-chicken people to play. There will be video, it will be YouTube-ed. Be a part of history, help me come up with rules for a game where non-chicken people have to catch a chicken. The event will take place July 16th, as part of my Hubby To Be's...

Tell me what you like about your favorite breed. I have been looking, and really, there are just so many varieties and so little room in the coop. I have room for about 50 or so in the coop. Last year I hatched about 75 or 80 chicks, most of which I sold or gave away. This year I want to pick...

Has anyone ever used cookie cutters to shape treats? How did that work? I cook a lot but I don't make rice krispie treats, so any advice or helpful hints would be much appreciated. Thanks,

The newest member of her flock was hatched at 1:30 this afternoon. 6 lbs 15oz. Mom said everyone was doing well YourLinkGoesHere

I have a very amazing friend. She greets every day with a smile and no matter what challenges she faces, she keeps a positive attitude. She's the first one to drop what she's doing and pitch in anytime someone needs help. Now she needs our help, by way of votes. She's battled with her weight all...

Has no one screamed Happy Birthday to you yet?!?!?! I've been slacking, sorry about that. Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Hi all, Gaited Horse does not have access to BYC right now, and he messaged me last night asking me to help him find the breed standard for Barred Rocks and Buff Orpingtons. I hate to tell the kid I don't have time to help him but I really don't. I'm hoping one of you'all will have time to...

My polish have all had their head feathers picked out. I've never had the time to sit and watch and see who's pulling out the girls head feathers. It could be a roo or another hen. They have been in the coop a lot over the winter and I know they get bored and pick at each other when they are...

And a Happy Birthday to you too.

Hi ya'all, Gaited Horse is getting ready for a show and his barred rock needs a leg band. How does he figure out what size band he needs? He can't post on BYC right now so I said I'd pose the question for him. Let me know how to figure this out and I'll forward the info to him. thanks so much...
