Looking for someone that will sell and ship me cochin chicks, or have pick-up in Colorado. Large Fowl blue black and splash preferred. Having the hardest time finding good quality Cochins.

So, I'm always looking for fun things to grow with my daughters. After a little research, I see I can plant Black Oil Sunflower Seeds straight in the ground, and harvest or save for later. Anyone else try this? Those bags of BOSS are getting expensive.

I am incubating my own hens eggs, and quite a few have air cells off to the side, not centered. I store these eggs on the counter, in an egg flat with the pointy side down. Then they get put into the turner, pointy side down. At no time are they left on their side. Why are the air cells messed...

More chicks to hatch April 17. PM if interested. We live in Peyton, will possibly travel.

What is with all the ads all of a sudden? I'm on my iPad, on the mobile version of the actual website. I just replied in the CO thread, and my whole reply box was covered by a BEER ad, that had an x but wouldn't close. Then when I actually hit the submit button, the ad took over my whole screen...

My Silkie babies are 14 weeks, and I would really appreciate some help figuring out males and females. Any thoughts? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

So after our Silkie hatched out 4 of her own eggs, we realized she wasn't breeding with the Silkie Roo, but the Cohin Roo. Her daughters are pretty little things that should give us plenty of eggs, but her boys have to go. There are two, just at 5 months. I would like to fatten them up a bit, in...

Instead of throwing eggs in the trash after worming, can I put them in my compost tumbler?

So our Silkie was sitting on what we thought were pure Silkies, since we had never seen the Cochin Roo near her. By day three we knew the chicks were mixes, and now I need a little help figuring out gender. I think these two are female, their comb is still pretty flat. And I have two that...

So my husband and I have had chickens for just over a year, they lay just enough eggs for us and my in-laws. We decided a couple months ago on a new breed, that is more suited to free ranging for most of their own feed. It's a rarer breed, with none in this area, and we thought maybe we would...

I had 17, now there are only 14. What happened? Wow...bad math. That's what happens when I type while talking to my daughter...obviously, I only lost three.

I have three blackberry bushes on the way, and I'm trying to prepare the area, but I'm not sure how the bushes grow. Will they be a bush? Or a vine? Because something I just read said you can train them up a trellis? I wanted them as big bushes, for the main wall of our chicken run, is that a...

We have our coop in a stall in our barn, attached to the barn is a large enclosed run. We leave the door open and the chickens go in and out as they please. When it's the warmest part of the day they go into the barn, and of course, poop all over. I've been going in every morning and raking the...

It's leaves are crispy. We got it for in the run, so the chickies have shade, till more bushes fill out. Even before putting it in the ground it was getting crispy leaves, so I thought, wow, plant that poor thing. But it's still crispy. Wondering if it's just from the weather? And really hoping...

So about three years ago I bought a table. I thought it was the perfect table, dark wood, very pretty. Then the first scratch happened, and I realized it's that veneer junk, like plastic. Chalk that up to being young, and it being the first table I bought. It's still a good table, very big with...

I have 5 two week old chicks. Starting around six yesterday evening one was limping, and now she won't get up at all, and I've got a second one this morning that's just standing there. The other three are walking around pecking and happy. I'm assuming I should treat them with something, maybe...

My chicks are a week old today and I'm wondering when they can go out for the first time? We just want to give them an hour or two in the grass as it starts to cool off. But I thought I read that they can get sick if exposed to dirt too early? Any advice would be great.

So I found this a while back, and plan to over seed into my already growing field grass. But I need to know if this would be ok to feed chickens, like grown on a pallet and put into the run? I like that it grows year round, and uses minimal water. Any thoughts? www.earthturf.com

Well we just bought our home in April, and our little chicks will be here sometime this week. I really enjoy reading others stories and seeing their pics as they go along, so I decided to try a story of my own. We live in a smallish community of 2.5 acre lots. Our property was completely...

So we have a barn, built by the previous owner of our new home. It's actually really well built, except for the electric wiring the owner damaged upon his exit. (it just so happens that we found his name tag for his AF blues in the garage, so we're guessing he was an airman that did not...
