About 5ish years ago I tried to divorce my husband. But, alas, he convinced me to pack up everything, move myself and our kids to South Texas, and give it another shot. So I did. I can't say I regret that decision. The kids are thriving, I absolutely love it here, and I have a lovely home with...

So back during tractor supply chick days I bought a few straight run babies. Because I was afraid of getting all boys I threw in one from tbeir black sex link chicks so I could know I had at least one girl. I have only had a sex link once and she was black with some reddish feathers. This...

Hi. Before I even begin, I will explain why this little lady is so tiny. She is only about 3 weeks old and the mother abandoned the litter. She was already going to be mine so now I am stuck bottle feeding until she is weaned. Anyway, the mother is a registeted chocolate lab that belongs to a...

Alright, this pic was when I first got her. She is a TINY bantam. Right now she is about 7 weeks old and doesn't in any way look like she could have developed from that chick. It has been suggested she is probably an OEGB. She looks like one and I was thinking so until I looked at chick...

The entire time I have lived in Texas we have been in extreme drought conditions. Well, the insane amount of rainfall has eliminated that. I feel so incredibly sad for everyone who lost loved ones and homes to the flooding. I think the rain has finally stopped for a bit, at least down here. As I...

My poor, sweet, Winter. She is young and a bit inexperienced I suppose. She went broody and since we have a roo (and she's my third broody so far this year) I figured she could have some babies. First, she was very dedicated, getting off the nest every one to two days very briefly then...

I have been wanting goats for awhile to start producing my own milk. I have read a bit but wasn't thinking I would have them really soon. Anyway, some friends bought two male and two female goats planning to breed and sell them but have changed their mind. I will probably end up buying 2 of...

I guess my first and main question is, can a guinea clear a 5' fence? The other morning my husband was headed to work. It wasn't yet daylight so my birds were still tucked in for the night. I have chickens and 3 pekin ducks. He came back inside and said there was some strange, probably wild...

We live in South Texas. My 15 y/o son is on a band trip to Saint Louis, MO. They headed home this afternoon to arrive home tomorrow. My son just sent me a text a few minutes ago telling me that they are under a tornado warning and they have the kids in a truck stop. They are in Joplin, MO. :( I...

I got two slw chicks from tractor supply. They are about 4 1/2 weeks now. These are such strange little chicks. Neither really has much of a tail but one has significantly more than the other. This made me think the tailess one is a cockerel but the other one has a larger comb and neither comb...

Hopefully this won't end up too long, but I will apologize in advance. :) I really want to process my birds. Raising meat humanely for my family is important to me. But I just can't. I have no interest in ever butchering one of my laying hens...those are my sweethearts. However, I can't any of...

Since the minimum chick purchase at my TSC is 6 (and I really only wanted 4) I threw in a couple of bantams to use as yard art. :) They are adorable but I have no clue what they are. I am also putting a pic of the second (the black one) chick's legs as they are rather heavily feathered. The...

Hi! I used to be a member years ago but I am new now! :) I live in a little town South of San Antonio called Floresville. I am married and have 4 sons ages 17, 15, 13, and 4. We are a military family but my husband is retiring in August. We have a dog, a ton of stray cats, 3 guinea pigs, and...
