Well, I'm not sure she broke anything. Right now she's acting pretty normal, like clucking and everything... though she's also trying not to fall asleep, and then suddenly she'll fall backwards, she can't really extend her neck and she flaps her wings like crazy. I've given her some calcium...

Yesterday I found one of my girls sitting in the corner of the coop, rolling her head around backwards. She was sitting on the ground and looked like she was straining. I checked to see if she was bound but felt nothing in her vent and her abdomen felt normal. I checked her poops and they...

So what kind of thing would tear something up?? Could it be that squirrel?

Hey guys. I've been trying to live trap an opossum for at least two months. I have bated the trap with veggies, peanut butter, crackers and it always seems to figure out how to get the food without actually going inside the trap. Today I caught a squirrel instead of the opossum. Any advice...

Welcome!! Many of us are from Lawrence and the surrounding areas. Hopefully we can help!

I kind of think that this new editor is a little wonky. I had problems with it earlier. Could you post links to the photos?? I usually do that and load the photos to flickr or my blog.

OMG the wind!!! I was so scared for my girls. I know the coop is pretty well sealed and insulated, but it was brutal. Though, today I got out there and one of the girls had laid TWO eggs!!!! I think she's a beast. If I were her I would have refused in that weather. It's too cold and I'm...

I'd be interested in your recipe! I bought a book (Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll) and I can't put it down. Do you have an online product/ingredient supplier you prefer? I'm trying to find local dairies which may sell raw milk, but it's harder than I thought it would be.

super cute!

I couldn't really find a thread for this. I'm a newbie to it, I've mostly made soft cheeses. I'm contemplating my first attempt at hard cheeses. Anyone have any experience/advice/tips/stories?

Quote: I feel for you danz! I both just cleaned out my father-in-laws house after his passing as well as ours before we moved and I am sick of organizing and rearranging and cleaning! And on-top of the surgery! kudos! Speaking of chick dust.. I am trying to determine where we will keep the...

Chooks: I love that you remember my girl's names! haha P.S- I'm trying to talk my DH into two more. Do you have anything coming soon? hawkeye: I believe they're around 27 weeks or so. Chooks would know for sure since I got them from her. You guys should have seen me. I ran through...

I just wanted to quickly pop by and say... I GOT MY FIRST EGG!!!!!! Click the link to see the photo I posted on my tiny blog.

Yeah I posted the link to the photo. It's light brown. My Marans hangs out in the spot I found it, but it's not the right color for her.
