I have not been happy with any timer I have had to date to run the lights for the coop. I give the girls 13.5 hours per day of light to keep some of them laying. For now I get up before they do and turn the lights on manually. Here is what I am looking for in timer, is it made? 1) Battery...

I picked up a pair of GEMs (Green Egg Machines), they are cream isbar over white leghorn. The cream isbar has barring, I want to cross these with my EEs which of course have the ameraucana. My old guy is from a bantam silkie frizzle and a blue ameraucana, both show birds. I am using his son...

Ok one of my hobbies is wine making, and the blackberries produced well this year, almost 60 lbs. And what did I do with the pulp, yep I tossed it out to the chickens! Well this one little bird eats well more than his share. I go out later and he is laying there, like he was sun bathing in the...

This year has been one for me to gain birds. Earlier this year 2 rooster showed up, I found both of them a flock (thanks the BYC). So I go out to gather eggs, and toss the girls some grain, there is a bird there that must have invisibility. Not one of the girls, not even the old gal gave it a...

I have never had chicks that would let me, or anyone else pick them up, until this hatch! (4/21,22) The Grandkids were here playing in the yard, I look out and one of them is holding a chick, with the rest of the chicks standing around them. I watch and they are not chasing them, so nothing need...

No it's not like that, my girls are safe, my hawks are gone! 3 1/2 pairs, they have been here for years, with one nest in site of my coop. They hunted daily in the valley bellow the house, it's to quiet out, what happened to them? Would they just move away? I sure hope someone did not shoot...

My chicks were hatched the 21/22 of last month, yesterday the heat went off (brooder) and lights out last night, food picked up/put up. This morning when I put the food out a BSL (oddball) came over checked it out and started chuckling/dancing, all the others ran over and started eating. Why...

The 21st of last month my chicks started hatching. I noticed a hen standing near the window and watching intently. Like "I hear chicks, but who's setting". About a week ago the chicks went outside to the brood house, and I got caught by a hen I call Moma. Her head held high and definitely...

Take 1 or both, the little guy is gorgeous! . . Both are strays that came out of the woods or from other folks who just dont care. I have held them for long enuf and it is time to move on. I would luv to find both of them a home with others of their size/kind. I would guess them to both...

Ok I was just looking at an add for chickens, in said add they are advertising an F4 hybrid OE. I have info on F1's and F2's, but have seen notta on an F3 or F4 hybrid. So is this just a way for her to sell these birds, or did I miss something? (I have bought a wabbit from her,,,) Here is the...

Ok let me say first, this is not a good neighbor (long story), and I think this little guy is all he has left. But I dont want his DNA in my flock. He is gorgeous, and I would never harm him. I have caught him and put him over the fence, he jumps right back. I have caught him and put him in a...

I have seen him around, roosts in the woods, but he came in my area. What can I tell folks he is so I can rehome him. [

I have been looking for some new DNA for my flock, a splash EE rooster. I had no luck finding one close to me, and made a 5 hour round trip to get this pretty boy. Now for this $5 roo, I spent $60 in fuel, and $6 on toll roads,,, he's about 1 YO

My top roo does not like it when I try to take pictures of him. He will hide when I point it anywhere near him, and call alerts. Now this camera has auto focus, can he see the infrared focusing beams? One would think he is being attacked by a hawk,,,,

And I wish I had taken pics,, I was watching a pair of GEMs (Green Egg Machines) I recently picked up. The flock had moved on without them, they took off, yes air born! I watched as they got to at least 20 feet in the air! I was at first amazed then OMG they could just fly off! And they...
