set the trap last night and caught the little bugger. He or one of his buddies has been trying to get into our coop for 2 weeks now. I have been setting my clock during the night to get up and see if I could kill them, to no avail. They would always either already be gone or get gone before I...

We have 2 chicks, a Red Star, and a Golden Comet. About 2 weeks ago they both came down with something. They acted like they wanted to lay an egg but couldn't. (Egg Bound?) At the same time, I had started trying to get them started on nipple waterers. While checking on the sick chicks, I...

We are not experts with this chicky thing, but we have raised 4 batches of little ones with only one case of pasty butt. We found that giving them grit from day one seems to help. our only case was before the chicks got grit. We listened to some advice and didn't give the first group grit for...

Last April we had the twisters as everyone knows. We were just on the edge of an ef5 that came through our area, we survived any major damage and are all cleaned up and ready for a new spring. Now here is the reason for my title. We have not had a humming bird yet! Every year I put our...

Last Saturday night, we decided to have BLT's for supper. We are quite organized in the kitchen having been married 31 years with a lot of practice. I got the nuker bacon tray out loaded it with dead pig and put it in the microwave set the timer and pushed the start button. TW (the wife) got...

Well we have all wondered how to get rid of hawks, especially the redtail kind. Maybe this will work for y'all, it seems to be working for us. First, we love birds, we keep feeders out and have different houses that we built for them. We have owl, blue bird, and 2 years ago, we put up a...

Any of y'all out there hunting a heated waterer? Well check out Jeffers Livestock. Just ordered the one on page 44 of their catalog from their online store. I had found it on several other sites but they had the best online price. Ordered this thing Monday afternoon and it was at my house...

What type plants, if any, have y'all planted in your run. We have a run, (pen really) with 1500 sqft. we have planted 3 knock out roses, 1 leland cyprus, and 1 butterfly bush. When our chicks freeranged, they seemed to like these plants more than others in our yard. Since the dog attack and...

Don't know if this is the right place to post this or not but here goes. After the twister in April, we had our yard torn up removing debris. We were planting new grass and we had a left over bale of wheat straw. It had a few bugs in it so I gave it to the chicks. We just cut the strings and...
