This is a video about a little girl who has autism. For ten years her family could not communicate with her and she could not communicate with anyone either. She had therapists working with her for hours per day for many years with little or no progress. Her doctors thought she was also...

My new black sex link "Betty" gave me three very large eggs then shut down on me! I started seeing a few feathers here and there, nothing really out of the ordinary but then... Feathers everywhere! Coop full! All from Betty and she's looking pretty scary, have to say. She apparently is an...

I have three dogs, two rat terriers and one chow. My chow is 14, my female rat terrier is 6 and my male rat terrier is 11. The chow believe it or not is the best behaved, always has been an absolute sweetheart. My female rat is my lil pork chop as she is plump, a lil too plump, but its because...

My Dad called me this evening and asked if I wanted a... He found him orphaned by the fence whimpering and crying. I brought him to my favorite local pet store. They know a guy named Mr. Maurice who is a rehabilitator. At the pet store we fed him formula but all he really wanted was his...

As some of you know by now I am a beekeeper and specialize in live honeybee removal and relocation of honeybees to my yards and others. Thought I'd share some pictures. Can you spot the queen on the last photo? ...JP

The weather was so nice yesterday, in fact I would say "perfect". Chickens were in their run, so I let the dogs out. Unbeknownst to me, Goldy, my favorite little, sweetest hen in the entire world/planet/no, universe learned to squeeze through into the outer fenced yard area and was "out". My...

Ok, I will now tell of a very strange encounter, but you have to tell about one of yours alright? When I was 3 yrs old, my sister and I were playing with carnival beads in my grandmother's master bedroom. My sister was a little more than a 1yr old. There were a few broken strings that spilled...

On a recent road trip, my buddy and I ate at two different popular breakfast places that feature waffles, both in Alabama. I honestly could not finish my eggs. They had zero flavor, zero. You just can't beat free range, I can't go back, ain't gonna happen. First thing I did after the trip was...

One of my hens, B.O., has been laying very small eggs for about two weeks now. All are just about the same exact size. They are very small, not odd shaped, just plum dang small. I have gotten perhaps a dozen & a half like this. Could she just be a smaller than normal small egg layer or could...

Thought it would be interesting to hear about your near death experiences. Pick the experience that almost took you, the one that still sends shivers up your spine. I'll start: Happened last year. A tree company wanted me to remove bees from a tree limb overhanging a powerline approximately 45'...

She is one of my EEs, approx 23 weeks old or so, not laying yet. This evening right before going in the coop for the night, the other seven birds were feeding merrily, Ms Purdy appeared to be acting funny. Just standing there as if asleep on her feet. The others noticed, a few got close to her...

This is Goldy, see that hole where her upper beak and comb meet? Is this a problem and if so what should I do about it? I noticed the hole two days ago. She seems fine otherwise and also started squatting to my touch, two days ago. Pics...

So I was doing a little wondering & would like to throw this out and get some feedback. Please explain in detail any learned chicken behavior you have observed. Anything that would possibly be out of the realm of ordinary. Say for example you have witnessed a particular chicken that could open...

After having built my first coop, ( http://picasaweb.google.com/pyxicephalus/November272009?authkey=Gv1sRgCPWv75CCq_PorQE# ) I thought I'd share my opinions and observations with new chicken keepers like myself. I observed the 3-4 sq' rule per chicken and this worked fine for my six hens, but I...

This morning after letting the hens out of the coop and feeding them, it was time for poop duty. The bottom of the coop is 1/2" hardware cloth. I have a pull out poop pan under one half the flooring as an experiment in dealing with the poop, etc... What I do is clean any excrement that has...

Man, just yesterday I was thinking how Hazel is becoming my favorite. Last week it was Cindy, a few days after that Goldy, and Goldy is still my favorite, especially after what I saw from Ms Priss, Hazel this evening. She would peck on the tail end of the others, saw her do this with two of...

Ok everyone, the coop is now done and the chickens are happy and content. The wife and I have really been enjoying them and have four of the six named already which is rather funny considering I didn't think any would get names. We let them out in the morning and they are at it all day peckin'...

Looking at building my coop this morning. I keep hearing 3 sq' per chicken with 4 sq' even better. I'm thinking of making it 6' tall and 4' wide but depending on feedback I may go larger. I will be housing no more than 6 laying hens. Is length better than height or just over all space in sq'...
