BF and I have been talking tonight and he wanted to one day raise some standard size silkies. I've seen bantams in bunch of hatcheries, but have been having trouble finding standard sized ones. Can anyone help? He is not looking to get them yet, but maybe in a year or so.
We got a bantam silkie yesterday, put it under a broody hen. Doesn't look like she took to it. About 2 hours ago I put him under her again, and he was energetic and was fine. I came out just few minutes ago to check on them, and he was laying a bit away from a brooder lamp and is pretty weak. I...
So our buff cochin, Mongo, is broody for the first time. Actually, she has been broody for the last 2 week, but we stupdely let her remain in the coop, and she kept moving the clutch, then abandoned it for a new clutch. On Sunday we brought her inside the house and decided we were going to try...
So I searched on the net about it but didn't see to find an answer. What is it with ducks and mud puddles. It's raining pretty hard here, and our 2 Cayuga's are running around rooting in mud puddles all super happy. They have done it before, where they would rather play in the mud puddle made by...

So hubby and I processed some of our Barred Rocks today, and I kept their feet separately. I have a crazy idea that I want to dry 2 of them, so I could send them to an anthropologist friend of ours that would get a kick out of it. At the moment, the feet are in the freezer. How should I go about...
When Hubby and I moved from the city into the country, we brought our cat. We had not a slightest idea that she would actually start mouse hunting. She was so young when we found her, only 5 weeks old. And we had 2 parakeets, yet she never hurt them. In fact, a few times one got out of the cage...
I love cast iron cookware. I just got into it a little bit ago. In the last 3 months I got a 3 skillet set of Wagner ware, and yesterday I picked up #3, #6 and #9 Griswold nickel plated skillets. As guys on Wags forum say... it's an addiction and they seem to multiple.
So, anyone here collects...
