    American Bulldogs!

    Hey everyone! I am looking to see who else owns this amazing breed of dog. There isn't a lot where I am from (considering I had to travel 10 hours to Ohio and back for mine), and I want to see if there are any close to me! I will post a picture of my crazy boy next :)

    Egg laying at a halt.

    My chickens (two silkies right now) have put a stop to their egg laying. Now, it is wintertime and that's what I think the problem is, but being a first year chicken owner, I am not quite sure. The temperatures in PA haven't been at an all time low as past winters have been, so I have not...

    6 week old RIR hens.

    I have 6 week and 8 day old RIR hens. I have kept them in a smaller pen before introducing them to my flock, even though they are also young (3-5 months), have grown much faster than the RIRs. Is this common? We have moved them into a bigger pen thinking that with much more space they will grow...
