Set of three ceramic chickens. Hand painted in your choice of colors. Each chicken is approximately three inches tall and is about 2 inches across at the widest point, almost. Because of the nature of handmade items there may be small differences in the colors or details, each piece is unique...

Hi all. I am looking for information on a chicken coop cam. I want somehting without a lotta wires, that I can check in on the hens with. I want something that gives a pretty good image, wireless would be ideal, that i can check on my computer or remotely if i am traveling, and doesn't cost a...

http://www.hobbyfarms.com/farm-industry-news/2011/02/01/catnip-proven-fly-repellent.aspx In this article it suggests that catnip oil would keep flies away (maybe mosquitoes too). I worry that it would attract all the neighborhood cats in too, bringing me a new problem! But, what about just...

The kids and I enjoy watching the neighborhood birds very much. Last year we know there were some hummingbirds in the area (some at our feeder) and sure enough we found their teeny tiny nests in the shrubbery (can't say that word without thinking of Monty Python). My question is; will they come...

Looking at them, how can you tell the difference? I was sold two pullets at the beginning of last year. I was sold them as Cuckoo marans, but i am unsure now because I am having trouble telling the difference when I look at photos. Can you tell me what I am looking for (other than egg color as...

I have seen the charts for chicken eggs, but I am wondering if there is one for ducks, one with photos of the eggs and what the adults look like?

On my facebook, my contacts have been talking about firing up their incubators, here at BYC there's incubator and hatching talk. Oh man oh man, I can feel the incubating fever begin to rise. Oh boy oh boy ohboy!!! Even the kids have been talking about maybe wanting to incubate again!! We'd...

Looking for laying age hens BCM BO EE RIR would be fine standard or banty.... and ds would like a banty cochin too. we had a banty barred cochin that was old, but adorable and friendly, would be great to find another. In total i can get ten, but price is going to dictate how many i can swing...

Ok, last night out of the blue it seems, Emily (bantam barred cochin) was sneezing and bubbles came from her eye. She was still active and playing and ahving a grand time. I still separated her and fed her some yogurt, put some ACV in her water and kept her apart last night. None of her coop...

It premiered with it's first issue today, and while scanning I found.... BackYardChickens.com mentioned at least twice!! I thought that was super cool.

I have two coops. one much larger than the other. I have bantams and standards. My bright idea was to switch all the bantams into the smaller - easier for them to use- coop and the standards only into the one that is more suited to their size. Now, everyone is fighting and mad. the bantam coop...

I got an egg today, an egg!!!! It was from one of the A&M's I have inside the house. Woooo hoooo!!!! I am so excited! Now...I need about 23 more for a bbq (gonna make itty bitty deviled eggs...) (ROFL, I will plan a BBQ around the itty bitty deviled eggs, lol THAT's how excited I am about this!)

I am going to get more chickens this week! I have the quarantine area all set up and ready to go. I am meeting up with a person that is selling me two white silkie hens, a BO pullet, a SLW pullet, and a RIR pullet. He's close enough that the drive won't be too bad on us all. I am so excited!!!!

I am interested in adding to our flock... Silkies Welsummers Coo Coo or Copper marans EE's BO RIR... really...we'd be interested in taking in just about any breed. No roos' though... I placed a craigslist ad also.

The other evening, Dh was soaking his bum knee in the jets of the hot tub. Our hot tub overlooks the coop and run. When My Grandma called and asked what we were up to I was able to answer her with... "Hubby is outside in the hot tub ogling some chicks" The line went quiet for a few seconds.

Holy MAckerel!! Muppet (Silkie) went broody on me. SHe went from following me around like a puppy to sitting on her nest and growing like a guarddog in no time flat. I moved her water close to her but am at a loss as to what to do for her otherwise. I have no roos, and no eggs to give her to...

hiya!! Just dropping a line to say all the quails you sent are doing wonderful! They are in their outdoor pen and I have a few questions... One has a bald back...could this be from over mating? Being a favorite of the roos maybe? None have begun to lay or crow thus far, are any of the rest of...

http://www.instructables.com/id/Modular-Water-Jug-Storage-Bins/ This was posted at another site but when i looked at it all i thought of was "would this work for chickens?? Nest box idea...

Laser, my last quail male was all alone. And he'd crow, morning noon and night. It was pretty bad. Enough that ...even with him inside the house...i was sure that the neighbors would complain soon. Now I have bunches of quails. I do want to keep a male for a few females. To breed for ourselves...

hatch quail eggs? I know they will try to hatch everything from pecans to golf balls. But I wonder if anyone here has had success with them hatching quail eggs.
