Sure, you've all posted here and there about your Deviled Eggs. I wanted to try to get them all on one thread (couldn't find a previously posted one). I make the usual Deviled Egg recipe with mayo, a bit of mustard, S&P, and Paprika on top. LOVE it. Just wanted to branch out a bit and found...

Husband's Note To Wife On The Fridge: Someone from the Gyna Colleges called. They said the Pabst beer is normal. I didn't know you liked beer!

I'm trying to put together a "sticky" post of everything organic. Got the okay from the big rooster himself. I wanted to do so a few weeks ago, but have had so many things going on lately. Birthdays, anniversaries, work, guests, travel, and so on. If you can PM, email me, or post your...

This morning, my hubby and I went out to take some treats to our flock of 14. Our 2 dogs were off running around somewhere in the distance, as usual, chasing the ball or looking for squirrels (we are on 8 acres). We stopped by the garden and picked some lettuce, carrot greens, and cilantro to...

Eww....so gross! But they loved it! Poor little lizard never had a chance. One of the girls was running around like crazy with the lizard in her beak...trying to keep the other 12 girls and 1 roo from grabbing it. Needless to say, it didn't end pretty. Didn't know they'd go for something...

So, I see that a lot of people advertise to sell farm fresh eggs on craigslist. Rather than jump through all of the legal hoops to sell at a farmer's market of off property, I figured I try to do so from home...although it may be a challenge given my location. I'd really appreciate some...

I have found that a lot of people use pencils, grease pencils, or sharpies to mark eggs for hatching. But... Do any of you have a date marking system for eggs that are for consumption? I am getting a heck of a lot more eggs than my hubby and I could ever eat before they get old...assuming 30...

[I apologize in advance if this is a beaten to death topic. Upon searching "hen humping hen", I was given the search alternative of "men humping men"...yikes! I didn't want to GO there!] I witnessed one of my laying hens (yes, she is female) "humping" another hen ala rooster style. She...

Trying to find info on selling eggs. I'm in California, which no doubt means that there are a bajillion laws and regs that are probably in place to screw the little guy like me. Does ANYbody have ANY info pertinent to CALI? I've looked at a bunch of Gov websites, but am lost. Ugh...red tape...

Not sure which forum to put this in... [Moderator, please move thread to a more appropriate area if desired] So, I've been trying to find info on washing eggs (the germaphobe in me). I realize that it is NOT a good thing if storing, but I would like to be able to do so right before use IF a...

...one of the people that we bought our hens from this past week informed us (being the newbies that we are), that we, "shouldn't just think of them as cute pets...that they sometimes can jump up on you and go for your eyes!" OMG!!!! Are you kidding me!? Okay, I'm still freaked out from...

...one of my pullets laid a rubber egg today. Ba-dum-bum, ching! Sorry! I'm sure that one's been used here before, but, I couldn't resist. I know about the oyster shell, calcium connection. I think it the feed/scratch/treats/grit is fine, and was due to stress as we just acquired all of...

So, our lil' flock of 14 is still in the coop and run until the portable one is built soon. If I want to give them some yard and garden greens and weeds, do I just toss them in their run whole? Or do I chop it up, or what??? Some of the things here that I think might appeal to the chickens...

We have an LS-1, long travel sand car. It's a big step up from a "dune buggy". We go to sand dunes in the Imperial Sand Dune Recreational Area (ISDRA) of the Algodones Dunes in southern California. Otherwise known as Glamis. http://www.duneguide.com/sand_dune_guide_isdra.htm...

We live on 8 acres in Southern California. We are in the beginning stages of building our home - plans are at the County for approval as we speak. Bought the property alone, as the home on it went into foreclosure, was vacant for nearly a year, and burnt down in the Witch Creek Wildfire of...

Chicken newby here! I'm in Southern California, just northeast of San Diego in Ramona. Hubby and I bought 8 acres last year and have finally decided to do the ol' laying hen thing. We get winters that have the occasional freezing night temperatures, as well as many 100*+ summer days. One...

Hi all...first post here! From what I've seen from searching around here this morning, this forum seems to be VERY informative! My hubby and I are in the planning stages of becoming "new parents" to about 10 chickens. I suppose we will be purchasing a variety of pullets (??? forgive my...
