Long story short, I had some issues with my web cameras and ended up getting one replaced I wasn't expecting and now I have an extra camera. I currently have three cameras rotating on my webcam feed: www.arlee453.camstreams.com One is on the parakeets, one on the peacock's dance floor and the...

I'm so psyched!! I got my replacement camera today from the manufacturer to replace the camera that died a few weeks back. That gives me a total of three cameras now on rotation on the webcam! You can see the webcam at: www.arlee453.camstreams.com Camera #1 is in the parakeet aviary...

I have roosters that need to go! If I don't find them homes in the next week they will have to be decrowed permanently (euthanized). I can't have the neighbors complaining if I want to keep my birds... Here's what I got: 3 silky roosters. They are an interesting color - sort of black with...

Hi my BYC friends! I'm back after a LOOOONNNNGGGG hiatus. I know there are a lot of new BYC'rs out there but hope some of my old friends are still hanging around. I've not been on in a very long time. There's been a lot going on with us... so here's an update for anyone interested. One of...

Well, I'd processed a few spare roos back in the summer by just skinning and harvesting the meat I wanted off the birds, but I think I can consider us well and good into the meatbird club now... We processed 23 meat birds (only lost 1 after the initial couple-day-old stage) and 7 spare...

I'm just passing along this one - got an email from a lady I work with and was asked to spread the word, so I figured BYC might be a good place to find these guys a home. I don't know anything other than what is below. If you are looking for a Great Pyr in the Charlotte NC region, take a look...

This is as bad as waiting for the first chicken egg.... I have 10 button quail. I'm pretty sure at least 3 are males, from their white bibs under their chins, and at least 5-7 are girls, judging from their lack of splashy coloration and no bibs. They were hatched on 6/9. That makes them 9...

Here's an article for all of us who have those subdevelopment neighbors who all want a beautiful bucolic farm-life rural scene from their new McHomes but can't understand the flies, dust and manure... http://www.charlotteobserver.com/weird/story/106701.html Enjoy!

I was in the picture taking mood this afternoon.... I currently have 8 adult parakeets in the aviary, along with 10 buttons that are 7 wks old and 'Chirpy' the house wren we raised when he fell out of the nest. Chirpy is to be released into the wilds of my backyard in the next few days...

Just ranting.... Why is it I can look at everyone else's bird and instantly think 'rooster' or 'hen' but not the same at my house. I have 15 Ameraucanas - hatched out of DipseyDoodleDoo's eggs. They are now 12.5 weeks old. Should be able to start seeing definate sex characteristics...

My hubby took my oldest son down to his friend's farm for a sleep over/camp out tonight, so it just left me and the other 3 (girl 11.5, boy 8, boy 5.5yrs) kids home tonight. After we finished butchering and processing tomorrow night's chicken nuggets dinner, and feeding up all the animals, it...

Ah to the tomato sandwich, you summer time treat! You glorious juicy redness, peeled and salted, can't be beat! A little Duke's mayo A couple slices of bread The dripping gooey tomato slices bring a tasty explosion in my head! Nothing is the same the whole rest of the year The thoughts of July...

Well, this weekend was the first Sat in a long time that the temps weren't in the 90 degree range....so it was time to take down the Douglas Fir in the front yard. That tree was a root-ball christmas tree set out by the people who lived here before us. I was looking at the apprasal pics when...

These are my green egg babies hatched from Dipsy Doodle Doo's eggs back on May 6th. I've got a bunch of roosters - they keep moving around too much to count exactly, but at somewhere between 5 and 10... They are blue and black and some assorted weirdo colors. They were hatched out the most...

Well, It's my turn to join the meat chicken crowd, I think. I have 5 dark cornish hens that I got from the TSC assorted pullet bin. I've fed them long enough. They won't lay good, and they are creepy looking with their long legs and vulture heads. I thought about just giving them away, but...

I have a buddy that gets an 'all stock' feed that he feeds to most all his adult animals - goats, cows, ducks, chickens, horses, you name it. He gets it by the ton for $140 per ton and is encouraging me to go to the cheaper feed too. Anyone else feed 'all stock' to chickens? I'm leery - it's...

Short history - we are trying to get our financial house in order. We have good incomes, and good credit scores (700s) - no bankruptcies, loans in arrears, etc, but need to start saving more towards retirement, kids college etc. We also have more debt that we would like (who doesn't)...

OK, here's another deal of the century!! I have a Sabre (by John Deere) Lawn Tractor for FREE! You just pick it up at my house in Concord NC. The engine runs great, cuts grass OK, drive and blade belt replace two summers ago. New battery last fall. Hydrostatic automatic transmission works...

I have a 55 gal aquarium and wood stand I need to find a good home for. I also have a couple other sizes of aquariums - I think at least one 20 gal and another 25-30 gal? They are free for the pickup - just let me know and we can make arrangements to meet. The 55 gal is a bit sunburned on the...
