I would like to see examples of gates that can be hung on t-posts. I would especially like to see if it's possible to have a gate that is durable and not ugly, without having to concrete the support posts in the ground. Thanks in advance!

This thread is for people who have received the new strain of Delawares created by kathyinmo. We can share photos and discuss their progress.

I like the idea of using trough style feeders, but I have not had the best luck using them. First, I bought the metal one, made by Ware. The chickens knock it over easily. The roosters get their comb/wattles stuck in the scratch guard, causing it to tip. Then I bought some plastic sheetrock...

I'm looking for an old recipe for the old fashioned chicken & noodles that your grandmother used to make. I have heritage chickens that I've raised myself. I'd like to cook one using an old traditional recipe. I know how to make regular chicken noodle soup. For years, I've heard people talk...

I want to have a flock where broody hens raise the chicks, so that I don't have to use an incubator. With my first flock of chickens- a combination of hatchery birds and feral hens gathered from this rural region's treetops at night- I had broody hens hatching out huge numbers of chicks. I...

I needed a separate coop and breeding pen for my newest strain of Delaware chickens. I'm going to put it in my garden area. It will have two alternate runs, to be used like the Silveira coop/garden. It won't take up all the garden space- just one end, and the runs will also serve as part of the...

I am trying to figure out if some of my older hens are still laying eggs. I've been putting them in a small coop/cage and waiting for them to lay an egg. My question is, how long do I wait until I can make the determination that a hen is no longer laying eggs? The first few hens laid an egg...

Is this a split comb? And, does any one have a photo of what a slipped wing looks like? Is it simply when the wing is held at a low angle or does it also involve the feathers? I want to be able to recognize it if I see it. Thanks, Kim
