The time has arrived, and you don't know how happy I am! Lady Gaga is back in with his serama girls!
I watched them carefully until I made sure he bred all of them, to avoid any potential discrimination when it comes to which girl gets to feed.
The plan is this: wait 2 more weeks for...
No eggs.
For some of us, that's nothing new. For others, this is all new, and they're not sure what to do. So, what do you do to ensure you have some reserves for cooking and consumption?
Please share so that other peeps can take what they like and apply it to their situation.
From the 10...
Here's what's been going on. My loner male needed some company, but because he's a big boi, none of my hens were fit for the job. I got two mature brahma hens from an acquaintance, and I was supposed to get one serama cockerel and three serama pullets in two weeks. After having the brahma hens...
I know there are some threads about houseplant on here, but those focus on houseplants and succulents grown well...inside the house. Some people, myself included, grow houseplants and succulents outdoors, and sometimes even planted on the ground. So, this thread is for both the indoor and the...
OK so I was watching a video, and that person had a flock of kikirikis, and some of them looked extremely similar to Cruella, my pullet. I've always assumed she was some very beautiful mix but I couldn't think of what that mix could be. I know kikirikis are just a fancy way of saying a really...
This is a thread for all of us unlucky people who have yet to have a broody, or a broody successfully hatch out babies so that we don't annoy all of you normies with our constant complaining on the matter. You can each keep a record of how long you've been waiting for a broody (if you've ever...
Sooo, back in 2021 I got 10 birds (9 pullets and one cockerel) of a rare landrace breed called Tsouloufati. Right from the start, I noticed some irregularities. While still within "standard" (there isn't one, but most birds look this way) all the hens (except from one) have a lighter color, but...
I think I'm sort of closing two months of being on this forum, so I'd like to tell you what this forum has taught me/made me like up till now
1. Fluffy chicken butts. No I'm not explaining further
2. I'll probably be getting leghorns again
3. Pet chickens are a thing....apparently. Don't ask me...
This is my first bantam flock actually! After first failing with a small silkie flock, these guys came into the picture, and I might be slightly biased, but they're gorgeous! I'm usually a keep it pure kind of person but these guys are something else! So here it goes! Cruella (thank you @Isadora...
This thread is all about the breeding (hopefully) flock of a Greek landrace breed known as the Tsouloufati, or as the Vlahiki, or as Eliniki. This whole flock will be turning two in mid May and consists of 7 birds, 6 hens and one rooster. There is an ISA brown in this flock as well, so...
So, I may or may not have acquired some new birds. OK maybe the title is slightly misleading, I've only captured them a secret for about a day and a couple hours. These guys are three bantam mixes, so I'd like your help in what breeds they might be mixed with, and their color names. Two are...
I have shared a little of this on the broody hen thread, but I felt like I was taking up way too much space for my personal problems, so I thought I'd create a thread instead. Now, I've been keeping chickens long enough to know you can't force broodyness. That being said, certain people have...
The first day of spring is upon us! Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, our domestic fowl are laying and breeding! Hope everyone's spring will be amazing, share anything spring related on here, that being spring hatches, spring traditions, plant care, anything and everything! I'm a little...
If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of mixes. But there are some exceptions. Right now, the only two breeds I'm interested in breeding are the aseel, and a Greek landrace breed (and possibly yokohama but that's another thing). That being said, I'd like to start a project (so this would be the...

OK I promise, this is the last time (for this week) that I'm going to make a similar thread to this. After joining BYC I have completely fallen in love with two breeds. The brahma, and the cochin/pekin bantam. I have already received some recommendations for brahmas, and they seem like an...
Brahma weren't high up on my list of chickens I'd like to own, but now, (appart from my gamefowl) they're at the very top. I had no plans to get any more chicks after I hot my three beautiful silkies, but as you might know, they all passed from some kind of disease. I find that for some reason...
I don't know if this is the right way to post a video. Basically, some of you might know I bought 3 silkie chicks last week, and throughout the week more are dying. The first one died unexpectedly, and I thought that was it. Yesterday the second died and now this morning, the last chick is...
