Reading about your Rooster behavior makes me sweat, our four Sulmtalers boys have been sizing each other up more and more, no one seems to actually get physical, but they do give each other a jump and a flare. I need to get these breeding stalls up so everyone can assert themselves in their own...
Cyn, what're your thoughts on the Rocks sold from Brinkhaven in Ohio?? I just won 20+ chicks from them in the Barred and Silver Penciled varieties. Excited to have them. Haven't had rocks since High school.
He told me they ordered from ideal at some point, but they stopped last spring. I forget the place he said they order from. Something farms in Ohio. I wish I had written it down, I think I was excited and ready to get them home.
I actually raised SLW from Ideal in High-school in 2010 when...
Bah, sorry to hear Dusty's crop is still acting up. I think you're right in guessing that her body is getting ready to make the great exit. You're making it very comfortable for her. If she pulls through, she'll be grateful I'm sure. :)
We picked up 5 Wyandottes from the Feed store. I...
That poor hen. Peoples disregard for other living beings is always troublesome to me. I hope the tortoise found the way it came from and finds itself a new place before it has the same fate.
@getaclue I will keep you in my thoughts, I hope for the speediest and most positive outcome for all your procedures :-)
Cows.... I love to watch them from a distance, but I am only 5 foot and about 90 pounds, so working with animals any larger than a sheep kind of freaks me out. I've always...
We're travelling from Jacksonville to Ft Myers Fllorida and we are so grumpy about the 30s/40s..... We didn't sign up for this!
Also, I hadn't realized this was how Dulce De Leche was made! I told my mother and grandmother the caramel recipe and they sorta chuckled "Ay Mijo..." They'd...
Cyn!! You are bad! I have about 15 cans of the stuff left over from making Flan and Coquito (coconut nog) for the Holidays, now it looks like I'll have some Caramel too...
Same here! Briefly let the turkeys and chickens out while I tended to the Garlic/Onions I planted, but otherwise, everyone has preferred to stay dry today. It's not even a steady trickle. Just enough rain to keep everything wet and gross.
...stressful already. Spent most of our day triple reinforcing a pen that took us a week to build because they were smaller than anticipated! (*and* they brought us an extra, unannounced, and for free!) Even then, we had two break-outs, and towards the evening we were distraught because we...
Look at what we got yesterday! Not much of an addition to our chickens.... but these guys are sweet as a button. Old-spot x Blue-butt x 1/4 Wild Boar (I don't even want to imagine what what means...). Don't mean to hijack your thread, wanted to share some exciting news
Eww, stay safe y'all!
Down here, we're having the most mild of winters.... the only distressing thing going on around here is that the Sulmtaler boys are learning to crow... and we all know that that goes when it's 4 of 'em in conjunction.
His ear tips are so sweet looking! I'm not partial to Huskies only due to an awful experience with my Aunt's, but I will say, my experience was completely different from that of those who were with that animal every day. Her loyalty was unquestionable.
Crele has always been one of my favorites. In my youth, I saved one of my uncle's crele fighting cocks from the fighting pits and adopted him, ever since, Crele brings back the fondest memory tide. Isabel has also started to be one of those varieties that hits a soft spot with me. Just love...
Love to see other Floridian with big ol' coops! :) we ourselves are having three designed by a local designer. One bachelor pad, a laying hen house, and a 8-stalled breeding pen for our eventual breeding quads. :)
