Thank you for the comment on the pics. So sorry to hear about your dogs and husband. Hope they both do well for a long time to come.

I'm still a newbie but if the separation has gotten her to start eating and she can see the chicks are safe I'd stick with it. If she's eating oatmeal maybe mixing in some of the nutritious chick feed with give her a more rounded diet. My broody was only eating chick feed after they hatched and...

Dogs are so wonderful, probably the most loyal companions ever. They'll work their hearts out for you or just be there for you whenever you need them to be. It's always so hard when we lose them, they're so much like kids. Frazzemrat: Sometimes their teeth don't always keep their tongues in...

They can be. The two in front are half siblings, 3 years apart. We got Abby (the dark gray one) then adopted Gunner ( light gray) a year later, he just needed a new home. The black one is Apollo, my son and his wife's puppy. They vary in price around here from about $400 on up. They are great...

:yuckyuck I found this about herds: "a large group of animals, especially hoofed mammals, that live, feed, or migrate together or are kept together as livestock. synonyms: drove, flock, pack, fold " See, chickens are kinda like a herd, so there's no need to hide under a chair! ;)

They're great pics! Thx. Showed my wife the others you posted and her jaw dropped, "Is that what ours will look like?" she asked. I said there's a good chance and she was tickled. Lol

Been on BYC for a little while now. I started keeping a few chickens early last fall but the numbers seem to keep rising! Been told its chicken math. LOL That's ok cause I'm having a great time. I'm glad BYC is doing their upgrade because it brought me here. I didn't know BYH existed and I've...

OMGosh! My pics show a bit of the leg/feet feathering but when you see them from the back they are extreme fuzzy butts. I laugh every time I see them waddling away. We'll be ticklled if they look like yours!!! :celebrate

I appreciate BYH for putting up with us. Going through withdrawals would have been horrible! I also want to say its been great browsing through the rest of the site. Lots of great info and people here too!

I know this thread was started for sexing. Mine are only 6 weeks today but color types were mentioned so I hope you don't my asking what these would be considered. Thanks for any thoughts. Blue or Lavender? And a Partridge? This one was kind of all amber at 4 days old but is now creamy white...

Mama left the nest to go stretch and eat so I was able to get their pic.

Hello! We know there's food up there!

We had 3 out of the 4 hatch yesterday. Looks like one of them started but it looks like mama may have squished it before it got out. The egg was slightly flattened with bits of shell missing but the membrane was unbroken. :( The good news is the others look happy and healthy all tucked in under...

She's been perfect, especially for a first timer. I must have missed Ralphies post. Sorry but please explain OE. I'm still a newbie.

I qont be able to keep them all so if you're anywhere close to East TN I'll have some available soon. :)

I have several BOs and a Gold Laced Orp. Papa is a Blu Orp. All the eggs are a mix of the Buffs and Gold Laced with Papa Blue. I'm really curious to see what they look like when they grow out.

Just joined today since BYC is updating... We had a hen go broody about a month ago and decided to let her hatch chicks mother nature's way. We set 12 eggs under her, lost a few to crushing when another went broody and started crowding her in the nest but she hatched the remaining 8 and the...
