LOL! She was not into modeling today!

That looks so fun!!!!!

No advice, but just wanted to say I am sorry your poor girl is not well. I hope you can find something to ease her discomfort. What is a swap like? Like most things up here in the wilderness we don't seem to have such a thing, at least I have never heard of it. I assume much like a swap meet...

OOOOOH! That would be cool! THANKS!

YIKES!!!!! I am glad you caught the intruder!!!!!

Awwwwwe! Ok. Yeah. That is pretty darn cute! My only experience is with Canada Geese and my neighbor's goose that both attack my car on my way to work. The one day there was a big goose, an Australian shepherd and a goat all walking up the middle of the road like some kind of feel good...

My chicks from Meyers arrived today. 23 ordered. 22 arrived alive, 1 DOA. I ordered 6 assorted rare breeds. I haven't worked out which is which or what breeds I got. The dead one had feathered feet, black legs and a mostly black body with silver touches. If the dead one was a rare assorted...

Today was chick day! 22 of the 23 made it alive. They seem to be happy and are putting away the food and water. Now to try to figure out which is which!

I love it! So far our potential names are: 2 White Cochins- Smarshmallow and Pshhhhht (my MIL calls rediwhip whipped cream pshhhhht so my 19 year old suggested that for a big white chicken) 1 white crested black Polish-Audrey Hepburn 1 buff laced Polish-Kathryn Nikoli (the 2 year old's...

Tomorrow is supposed to be hatch day for my Meyers chicks. Time to prep the brooder! My toddler is very excited for baby chicks.

LOL! At least they are cute?! We had a lovely guinea pig for about 5 years. She adored my husband and would lose her ever loving mind when he came in the house and she heard his voice. The rest of us were chopped liver. However, she could be bribed with yogurt bites. We've repurposed her...

I have spent days reading and learning. I have perused the coop build articles. In addition to considering the Woods Fresh-Air scaled to about 8x16 (if that is correct proportions), I am looking for options for large coops to house at least 30, maybe 40 standard size hens. I already have...

We've used it previously. It is a woven electric fence originally used for goats. We've had many that flew right over it to get out to free range. Even with a huge area to forage within the fence. Grass is greener? LOL We'll see how it goes. I have always leaned towards free ranging...

Excellent coop advice! You are all awesome! I appreciate the welcome and information so much! I have two metal pipe frames, from those tarp covered carports. One is about 10x10 and one is about 10x12. Those will become a run with HWC. With some extra pipes, I can easily extend them. I...

THANKS! Yep that is the site I was on earlier. Definitely booking marking it!
