Ok here's what I need help on. I have a horse corall thats in a 50' radius, 5' high. I currently have 2" X 4" wire mesh fastened to the existing fence. I am looking to build a coop for Turkeys (BBW's), probably 25 to start with, until I get comfortable with growing them out. A local guy recently...

Interesting article.......Too bad the momma died because of it though.

Today was the final straw and I will be taking my son out of public school at the end of this year. I refuse to subject him to that environment any more. Long story and this is not a knee-jerk reaction. I have been working with the school since the start of the year to address some problems and...

I went outside today to replace the water in the coop and collect any eggs from the ones that choose to lay in the afternoon. Well, they knew what was coming and started squawking up a storm. Someone listening outside, would wonder if I was plucking their feather out by the handful! A little...

I found this article and after reading it, I really don't now how to respond. The tone sounds like a hard core union member beating their drum, but this level of ignorance surprises me, even for a union. EDITED To fix link

Anyone else watch Million Dollar Money Drop? At least 3 times I would have come home with at least $500k!! I had a friend tell me about the show and im NOT a reality show person. Its really good!!

I was looking through ebay and I seen this incubator . I have no experience and this will be my first time with an incubator. Like most people, money is tight but, I dont mind spending a few extra dollars now, to have a unit with nicer features for later.

Anybody else have their tree up yet? I bought ours at the local ACE Hardware store on Friday. "Any tree - $20.00". I got a 7' one........works for me!!

Does anyone here live in Ludlow Mass that raises chickens? I have a friend that just bought a house and was "Eggcited" about having some chickens. After looking at the town ordinances, it appears that one cannot have chickens unless on a farm of 5 or more acres. Anyone?

O.k, I have been watching my Rooster "go at it" with his select girls. How long does "the deed" take? Sometime it's like watching a rodeo where she runs around trying to get him off! How do I know if I have fertilized eggs or not? Is it just a few seconds?

I just spent a few minutes in the chatroom. While it takes a LOT to offend me, I had my 8YO on my lap and he was asking me about some of the comments. Please folks, im over 40 and I dont offend easily, but when my son is involved...........I try to use the remaining years to keep his thoughts...

After 9+ months of being laid off, I was offered a job today. I start tomorrow!!:bow:ya Right now, I dont even care if I annoy someone with all the dancing smiley's!!!!

Ok, I have decided to try my hand at turkeys - now that I seem to have this chicken thing pretty much down. I have read a fair portion of the threads here in the Turkey section and I have also read a quite a few post's that conflict each other. I dont want to ask a bunch of questions that most...

I looked around for a place that was worthy of my celebratory 150th post. Given that this post catapults be into another select group of users, I didnt want to just offer it up anywhere. Being that it's a "name changing" event - I felt it was important to place it in a place worthy of such an...

I ordered some nipples from Neil Grassbaugh here on the forum and they arrived today. FAST shipping and he was very helpful while answering all my questions before ordering them. He also provided me with a lot of other info on different things as well, to help me get my act together with the...

I received my BYC stickers and magnets today in the mail. I already put them on my fridge and truck! I have a few left over to give to friends. Super fast shipping. Thanks BYC!!

I have read a lot about feeding an egg to chickens and how much they enjoy it. I scrambled up some eggs for the kids this morning and I took a little to the chicks (3-4 weeks old, 1 is 5 weeks old) and they had no interest in it at all. They seemed more upset that the little dish was taking up...

After a few years of thinking about it, I finally went to Tractor Supply and bought 6 chicks. 4 Banty's and 2 RI reds. I sold the wife on them, with the idea that I thought it would be a "good experience for the kids". I got the "uh-huh" look but I was able to close the deal. Now there sitting...
