Wow! That eas a long time ago, huh? Now my flock consists of a trio of Jersey Giants. My rooster thinks he's a bantam, and my preschooler thinks he belongs to her. She has her own bantam flock of 6 pullets (varying breeds, mostly cochin, 2 porcelain bantams) and 2 silkie cockerels. Oh! My...

You have 72 hours from the point when it's completely hatched.

Most breeds dingy start cruising until about 6 mos old. I'd expect a rir to start between 4 and 6 mos. If you want a bed that starts washy, get Egyptian fayoumi. Ours started crowing at about 5 weeks.

Looks lure a handsome cockerel to me.

they're use her all night staying warm and safe from predators. I'd bring then water at dawn and take it up at dusk.

Subscribed. I'll post some when I get a chance. Thanks for starting this post, it's sooooo funny!!! :)

I like this one. lol Oh, my. lol I think I had one like this. This is hilarious!!!!! :)

Thanks!!!

Anything coming up anytime soon?

I'm so, so, so sad!!!!! Since we moved very quickly, we didn't have time to figure out anything about the chickens. Now, we've come to the conclusion that we're going to have to get rid of almost all of them. Well, I'm selling them for $5 each. The listing is in my siggie, but anyone who...

I moved and now I have to get rid of almost all my chickens. I'm very sad about this, but DH is letting me keep a few of them. Here's what I have: 6 New Hampshire hens hatched in Sept 2014, 1 hatched in Feb 2015, 1 hatched in Aug 2015 (she was hatched from my broody hen; the older ones are...

Yes. If you send me a PM, I'll know right away b/c I'll receive an email.

Did you get your broody hen?

Very cool!!! =) I like that! I'll definitely incorporate this into our coop-building plans. We don't generally have very many extra roosters at a time either, so something this size would actually be perfect. The fence helps deter predators.

Since I'm starting over with coops and I get to build my own with new materials, instead of just slapping together whatever I find lying around...I was hoping for some ideas from those who know. I need to keep each of my roosters separately, which means several small/medium coops rather than one...

It's interesting, that's for sure. =) I'm not having to hunt eggs anymore. I'm getting almost all the eggs in the nest box by the shed and apparently one hen is laying in the nest box in the courtyard. Beyond that, we'll probably have to start doing daily Easter egg hunts again soon, a few of...

Well,we moved! =) Much nicer house, and I like the weather better. So everybody's happier. We were able to move all the chickens we had. We discovered that we'd lost a couple of Australorps, but that's life for free ranging chickens. We haven't lost anyone to predators at the new place and we...

Hi! =) I don't have much to say by way of update. I have seven eggs in the incubator. I haven't had a chance to candle them so I have no idea what's going on in there. Thank God for Brinsea. I don't have time to baby-sit an incubator and, even when I do have the time, I stink at it. Also...

Thank you all for the answers!!! :)
