Hey everybody. I was just reading the thread in here about bringing back the BB to what it used to be. I'll bet my story isn't much different than some others. I found this sight because I started raisning chickens in my back yard in the city and don't know jack about what I'm doing. So far most of my info has come from just reading all the threads. It has also been very helpful when I have specific questions. Folks have been very kind and helped me with my exact...

Chick Chair sighting

feeds@yuku.com (Sunnyup) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:19:40 GMT

Chick Chair was looking well when sighted over the weekend. My dh and I went to Poulsbo on Saturday and we had a very nice visit with Cindi and her daughter Hailey. CC said that she is lonely for her BYC friends and she appreciates the cards folks have sent. She has been out of touch after mishaps with her computers. She hasn't had Internet access for about a month now. Hopefully her computer will get returned fixed this week.

Local residents were surprised last week when CC and...

A heart stopping moment!

I went to the coop early this morning to open the door, there sat one of my black hens outside with her head bent down to the ground. My heart leaped and I said, "OH, NO!" She jerked her head up, looked around as though to say, "I guess I didn't make curfew last night!" Julie

Here are a couple from today.

Just a reminder of just how tiny she was.

Hi fellow peeps. Haven't had much time lately. We are raising our 20 mo old GS. and I've forgot how to be young and energitic. And how to budget my time. I have a few minutes so I'm trying to post a pic. If I do it will be a first.

This is an old pic of me. Let me know if anyone can see it. Renae

More on Bonnie and Clyde... pics included

feeds@yuku.com (mailmam71) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:46:25 GMT

The babies are growing and love their outside time. Here they are, safe on their blanket with the chickens roaming around. They are both very interested in Herbert and Bonnie is even contemplating stalking him.

When suddenly Herbert catches on, turns and says, "I say now, what are you up to??"

Lost Miss Penny...

feeds@yuku.com (babyjo) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:32:18 GMT

Hi everyone..
I lost my princess Penny on Wed ...We think she was either severely impacted(impacted crop?), or her kidney failed... during her surgery the vet accidentally cut one of her ureters that went to her kidney, so he had to close off that kidney.. giving her one kidney. He said there was a risk of her kidney failing and her getting gout.. (gout is something gross on their feet that can kill them too but she didnt have that) She was acting perfectly normal.. but on tuesday when i...

Need a BBQ design;)

feeds@yuku.com (Farmwoman) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:20:41 GMT

This may get moved to the coops and run section but I'm mainly doing this for fun. I need advice and ideas from all you creative folks who share my sense of humor!
My hen house is actually an old road side BBQ stand that my oldest son salvaged for me. He was only 17 at the time and had heard me commenting on what a perfect chicken house it would make. I absolutely love it! I finally got around to painting it but now I need help. I have always intended to paint a roadside BBQ sign on...

I haven't posted in a while and thought I'd update yall. DH and I finally sold the farm in Tennessee and we made it back home to Wyoming last week. It is so good to be home. We are looking at places to buy that will allow poultry and horses that is relatively close to town. With these gas prices and me working in town at the hospital that is limiting our choices. There are places to be had, just gotta look. While we were unloading in the storage shed I came across boxes marked...

Of course I spent some time talking to the chicken guy about the backyard chickens web site! The festival was HUGE, lasted 3 days and I didn't even see everything. These are some of the "art cars", the one with the swans on top was the Visionary Art Museum bus. It was covered with mosaic pieces of...
