Been off of BYC for a while...just let the girls out to roam with a break in the rain, they are grub destroying monsters!

Karen, roo boy is loaded up and I will see you early tomorrow!

That is not fun at all. having chicken children is tough, my husband and I are just realizing how attached you can get to some silly chickens.. I hope that they can improve.

Hello I have a question, I had to butcher one of my astrolorps the other day because of a injury (sigh, the one my daughter named and carried around...NO more named chickens) my question is this... she was about 9 months old and a great layer, but she was very fatty. Is this good or bad. I...

no fuzzy legs or crest, very pink legs, 5 toes so who knows come to think of it I had a small blue egg (i said hmm thats different) a couple of days ago that I thought was from my EE pocohanas, but looking at my tracker she has laid for almost a week straight...which she never does...so the...

So I have a conundrum 2 blue eggs in my nest today, which leads me to 2 possibilities 1. My EE laid a egg yesterday (I checked yesterday but not last night or this morning) and a smaller bluer egg today. 2. My dorking (5 toes)/wyandotte is a dorking/EE (read weebie) and laid her first egg...

This is the the roo my wyandotte is from? my husband was very impressed I take it Big'un is aptly named because he looks huge in this pic. Our boy at 9 weeks is almost as tall as my 17week Plymouth barred rocks...

I know at our williamsburg TSC one of the ladies there will take all roosters to send to freezer camp. It is not hard to do yourself, just make sure your knife is sharp.

My idea of a perfect day! Happy 4th everyone!

Ki4got here is my roadrunnner chicken....Is this a weeble/dorking cross?? (she scraped her head a couple weeks ago)

Pysankigirl- do you ferment your feed??

For VA peeps here is a link to a organic, soy free source of chicken feed. They have deliveries all over VA. http://www.countrysideorganics.com/home.php The farm I get milk, pork and beef from recommended them to me.

EEEEWWWWWWWWW That would freak me out, we had baby toads in our backyard in SC and my weims would eat them and then foam at the mouth, luckily I never saw snakes

^ that is frustrating that someone would try to pawn off a sick chicken. It could have taken out the whole flock. My multitasking fail for the day: dont forget you have eggs in your pockets when you start trying to do other chores...broken eggs in both pockets not cool at all

Candled! 7 of 8 eggs are developing well last one had no progress and when I cracked it open the yolk was scrambled
