That's awesome!!

Probably the stupid question of the month here but is there any way to combine the cone and the hatchet? To me the hatchet sounds quicker. The one time I helped my dad butcher with a block and hatchet (I was 8 yrs old) the roosters ran right in my direction --campfire smoke follows me too ;)...

Thankyou RRW V- chances are I would have left too much of a tail and not given it much thought til the damage was done.

nzpouter -- those are Bull Terriers right? If not, I stand corrected :) Regardless they are power houses.

Excellent, excellent, excellent advice from two people who are obviously dedicated and experienced dog owners. And additionally they have Bull Terriers and a GSD. Those are breeds that IMO are best living with just as they are...people who work hard to understand and respect their dogs needs to...

Because our 14 yr old daughter is a Brain Cancer Survivor (dx at 3yrs 2 mos), I am very picky about chemicals being used in and around our home--- especially pesticides. We have four dogs (two labs, a border collie and a beagle) as well as two cats that much to my husband's dislike, are house...

Being upset is understandable but you should be giving yourself a HUGE pat on the back. 1- You researched A LOT. You even researched what kinds of chickens would be the best fit. 2- You had a coop ready and waiting 3- You had supplies and equipment ready and waiting 4- You have let your...

LOL thanks. My Buf Orp is fun. She is definitely in charge of things in the pen. She talks a lot, always has and has to know everything or try to be involved in everything I am doing. When I fill the gallon waterer she is right there drinking out of the steam of water like a dog would. The...

Hi from up in LaPorte County. Glad you joined us.

Chickens at a Nature Center is a great idea. Your work sounds very interesting and rewarding. Glad you joined us.

Glad you're here

Glad you could join us. I too am a recovering lurker of BYC Loved your intro. When you think back to before the beginning of 2012 isn't it hard to remember what you *did before* the chickens? Just as you said "enjoyable work".

Wow. Too bad you didn't have time to video that. They are all serious about their territory! ETA - and work together too.

Hey thanks for starting this thread! A few weeks ago I had looked for one, didn't find any and then forgot about it. We have one RSL, my kids prefer to call her a Golden Comet. Love that pullet and the girl can fly!!! Hopefully I am setting up a higher roosting bar for her today after I...

Welcome from NW Indiana. Worry, worry, worry, yeah I know. It's just as bad as 'Mother's Guilt' isn't it?!!! LOL Our first ever flock is almost 18 weeks and I'm driving myself nuts[and everyone else] looking and hoping to find that first egg. Cooking and sharing it--that's a cool idea...

Welcome to BYC from NW Indiana. What you are doing is so great. My elderly mother lives with us and sits outdoors for an hour every afternoon to watch the chickens. She fins it relaxing. Since she started doing this I have noticed how many photos posted here by members have lawn chairs...

That's an idea. Thanks. Are zip ties as easy to put on and remove as the leg bands?

For the broilers there are people advertising $3 per pound here.

My RSL and BO are 16 weeks and five days. This morning I noticed their combs are very bright pink and the little RSL seems to have more color altogether. Checking for eggs has been a daily thing recently but seeing that visible change in them really has me on pins and needles. When people...

LMBO!!!! Loved that!!! Yay! Can't wait to be there. Both my RSL and Buf Orp will be 17 wks on Thursday. I've been anxiously checking every day.
