I'm on about 1/2 acre but I'm still in a subdivision so my neighbors are pretty close. The neighbor to one side has chickens so there's no worries over there. The neighbor on the other side seemed ok with my girls but to be sure I took them some eggs a couple days ago. The next time I see...
One of our local tattoo artists did this one. I think it's on her husband...
She has tattooed my wife, brother, sister-in-law and dad. I went through about 3.5 hours of pain with her last week and will be going through another 3.5 hours or so on June 1st to finish up the color and shading.
Saw this in the local Craigslist... Looks like it could be a decent deal. At least for materials if nothing else.

I started trying to photograph my girls recently and I caught Summer practicing her Hokey Pokey moves... You can tell by the look on her face that she was really concentrating on getting it right.
Ya put yer left foot in...

Ok...... I've been wrestling with this in my mind for awhile. I recently saw a post asking about the easiest, most humane way to...
Couldn't find anything in the search...
Just currious... I've got four hens on Tylan and since we can't eat the eggs, can I scramble some up and feed them back to them?
I just wanted to thank everyone involved in this site. Being a very analytical person I wanted to do a lot of research before I began my chicken journey and BYC has been my main source for learning EVERYTHING. Every time I've had a question the answer was always a quick search away. There is...
Of my four girls, as of today, three are now laying. WOOHOO!! My EE and Australorp have been laying very well for a few weeks but the Welsumer wasn't. A few days ago I added some cayenne(sp?) pepper to there feed and voila! My DW called me at work today all excited when she heard the third...
My lovely bride found out about a new (new to us at least) way to dye eggs and I thought they came out really great!
We did the Silk Tie method where you wrap the eggs in silk then you wrap them in white cotton/linen and then boil them with about 3 tablespoons of vinegar added to the water...
I've had my four girls for about two weeks now and today the Silkie (she is about 25 weeks old) all of a sudden has her right nostril completely closed up, green and crusty. Tried cleaning it out with a warm wet wash rag but it's pretty solid. She's also a little stinky. After some searching...
Hello everyone! I am very new to the chicken world and thought I'd share my progress...
Built a basic coop in the garage. It's almost 5' x 5' x 4' high. The front and back of the coop is completely ventilated under the roof.
Covered the floor with some scrap linoleum I had.
My...
I'm new to the chicken world and have been lurking on BYC for about a week now trying to learn a few things before I start. So much to learn!!!! A big thank you to all who post here!
I'm starting out small and I guess we'll see if the addiction grabs hold and if I need to expand or not...
