I give them most anything as a treat, but there are a couple of hens that if they see me holding bread, they will hold out and not eat any treats/leftovers...
I just added the pictures of the Ark type chicken tractor. It is a combination of lots I have seen. It is pretty well predator proof (except for bears) with...
oh, love it! just showed it to dh and asked him to please use his new table saw and build me at least one Ark-chicken tractor! I'll have to be a very good...
I just browsed through our photos section. I love the silver bantam polish chickens in lily's album! I have some black white-crested polish chickens but...
Leigh Anne, You be a very good girl then. LOL I had to build my 2 when my wife was out of town as she sees my chicken addiction as a waste of my efforts when...
Yes they are nice. I too have some bantam Polish, but not these type. If you like the feather pattern and can't find any Polish, maybe you would like Silver...
amen to that! Steve asks me periodically how many chickens I need? being of a business mind, he wants most everything to "pay" for themselves. the chickens...
I'll have to check out the silver sebrights too! oh, my little feathered friends are soooo addictive! <mailto:patchworkparrot@...> Leigh Anne Haygood,...
Yes, seeing chicks hatch is pretty cool, but seeing a hen with new baby chicks is even better. I don't brood many of the ones I hatch out, I just stick them...
they are fun and I don't brood many either. I did about 28 eggs this past spring, but since then have just the girls brood as they saw fit. love seeing them...
Hi, I"m new here and I live in upstate NY. We are going to a chicken show tomorrow. I'd like to know what is the best bantam breed to look for as far as being...
Sheila, That is a very tough question. It depends upon what you like. There are a lot that could fit the bill. A good place to start is to look up a chart...
Also, if you do not have a heated coop or a drafty one, you will need a more cold tolerant breed for the winter (not Seramas). That chart says what their cold...
thank you for your response Mark After looking at the chart I think my best bet is Wyndottes or Orphingtons. Now to find them. Hopefully there will be some at...
Here are the pics I promised of my new bantams we discussed awhile back. The red ones are suppose to be a smaller version of the New Hampshire Reds. ~AuntyB~ ...
Sheila, I hope you found some as bantams of those two are hard to find. I just got in some Bantam Wyandotte eggs a week ago and will hatch them out to see if...
AuntyB, Some of us don't see pictures if you attach them, so it is best to load them in an album in the photos section of the board. I would love to see them....
Thanks for the welcome Mark! My name is Lewella Tembreull and I live in MN. With the exception of one Silver Sebright chick I was raising in the house I...
Lewella, Wow! I hope you make your pens more predator proof or get rid of the dog(s) that killed all of your pets so it won't happen again with the new ones....
Hi Mark, The dog in question has been taken care of. She literally ripped the 1 inch chicken wire to pieces - I've never seen anything like it and I've spent...
Sorry about that, Mark! I just added the pictures in the photo album section...under 'AuntyB's Chickens'. The guy I got these from also has some buff columbian...
My husband and I went to the show in bath. We got 4 beautiful golden seamist from a lovely older gentleman. We also got 2 nice barred rock. We spent yesterday...
Lewella, I have heard that dogs can make the 1 inch hole in regular chicken wire big enough for them to get through. Hearing that, I never have used it. I...
AuntyB, Nice birds. I have heard that white (with black tail) Delaware Broiler Cross was sometimes referred to as a Columbian and the ones on e-Bay that they ...
Sheila, People with standard chickens just use milk crates (used to hold 4 one gallon jugs) or the things that look like them you cay buy at Wal-Mart in the...
Thanks for your response Mark. Should I put the nest boxes on the floor or raised up? If raised, how high? Sheila **************Psssst...Have you heard the...
