Quote: Was this to me? I'm north of town, we have 11 acres. I would love to find another Sumatran rooster but I think it will have to wait until spring. I have a few barnyard mutts coming next week to keep my girls company though! I'm glad all your girls made it through, I hope we're done with...

Quote: Apparently not...lost 10 chickens yesterday to the heat. Everyone okay by you? Oh im so sorry Everyone is good here. I put frozen jugs out for them yesterday and a sprinkler out there, seemed to help. They loved the jugs. How many chickens do you have? I have 2 now A Blue...

Quote: We're from Broomfield, moved to Iowa a year ago! Welcome! Stay cool and inside...

Quote: Hi there! I'm in Maquoketa, so really close to you! Welcome! Super close! Awesome. My SIL is by Lost Nation we go up there often. How are you guys beating this heat? Apparently not...lost 10 chickens yesterday to the heat. Everyone okay by you?

Woohoo! I'm getting eggs now! My Easter Eggers are laying very nice blue-green eggs. They're the first of my hens to produce eggs, I always heard they're later layers but my other hens just kind of wander around. : But yay for eggs! Now to teach them to lay in the nestboxes, not under the truck.

Anyone need some roosters? I have too many. I have a Blue Andalusian, Silver Polish, two Gold-Laced Wyandottes and an Easter Egger (plus I'm keeping three!). I'm over in Maquoketa but I'd meet someone somewhere too.

He's pretty sweet, like a normal EE. He just learned to crow this week and he's very proud of himself. I'd never seen coloration like his before!

Quote: Hahaha I think he looks like he has a mullet.

Thought I'd share a funny picture this morning- this is my EE roo, ICP. I named him that because he looks like one of the insane clown posse people. Isn't he the weirdest looking roo?

Hey Iowa! We finally got a stretch of good weather and I've been out in the garden and pastures. Had a funny chicken experience today, thought I'd share: We have a Blue Andalusian rooster (Papa Smurf) who is the top of the coop. He follows me around demanding treats. We have one other for sure...

Quote: I really like my Brinsea Octagon. It doesn't hold as many eggs but I've had excellent hatches in it, plus it's temp-controlled and has a fan. It's under 100 dollars.

My 11-week old Blue Andalusian rooster crowed for the first time today. He looked so proud of himself! It made me laugh. Just wanted to share!

Quote: What kind of goats, and how much? Congrats on the job, Tiramisu!

Anyone coming over to Maquoketa's swap this Saturday? I love swap time! I have baby chicks (mixed barnyard mutts) hatching today and it's a gorgeous (if windy) day! Gooooood morning Iowa!

Quote: Sorry to hear that! Poor little guy. Sad to hear about the puppy! Such sad news. Stay safe everyone- we have almost 6 inches of snow and it's supposed to snow/sleet tonight. Yuck. Placed my order for new spring chicks- some polish, golden-laced wyandottes, sumatras and blue...

Quote: Sorry to hear about the pup. Cute goat pictures! May I ask what you do with 300 baby goats? Tiramisu- awesome Buttercups chickens! I hadn't heard of the breed until recently and now I want some!

Quote: Oh no! So sorry for your loss It's too bad the wild critters love our chickens as much as we do. That is too bad. Of course they like the poultry for a different reason sometimes.... Did the coyote do any damage or break in? Do you think you have a pack of those nasty things in...

ARGH!! Coyote got two chickens last night! I am so bummed. It got my Black Copper Marans and my young Australorp who looked like a maybe-rooster. Sigh. I am pushing for our new giant coop to be built now, instead of waiting until spring like the hubs wants. Pics of the puppies, please...

Quote: We're practically neighbors! 45 minutes! If you want 35 birds why not push for a new coop? Heh heh. Enjoy the little babies when they come, I still have to make my breed decisions...
