need ideas,,,put a bunch of chicken pieces in crock pot last night and went to work,,,came home to a very well done chicken (it was on high, thought I turned that down )  anyway as it fell apart taking it out of the crockpot it left behind a very thick and dark stock, looks yummy,,,now what can i put in that stock later today and then go to bed, looking to have a nice dinner when i get up tonight.......not chicken corn soup,,,no more corn for awhile (corn really does pass thru and stays whole,,how nutritious can that be )....

I might try carrots, potatoes, onion, etc. Like a beef stew. Can't be that bad!

Chicken Stew... Sounds great!!!

Hey:

Anyone looking for an americuna roo? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/809870/rooster

Yep agree with Wing: A) talk to them...B)talk to your landlord...C) get a BB gun (manual) and hit them in the tucas at 1/2 power....its enough to send them running and after a couple of times( they won't come back....(that goes for dogs or people, or ATVs)...my two cents

Note to self: do NOT walk across STAKE's property uninvited.

was at the dentist and got an overwhelming impulse to jump out of chair and flee. Anyone else ever have this happen?

I claustrophobic so I have to get a prescription for Valium before going to the dentist. I can't handle the feeling of being confined like that. Even though I am free to move, I can't have him in my face like that.

Please don't fire any gun, even a BB gun, at people or vehicles. You may find yourself in trouble with the law. Same goes with buildings. Back in the day, it may have been the country way, but times have changed.

Morning all.. ...or afternoon..which ever you prefer....

Note to self-preservation!.......

**If I still ate chicken...the stew does sound wonderful!! ..you could even throw in some thick noodles..quinoa...rice...keeping it on 'low'...

Question about the fermented feed. Can I use the pellets I use now? Do you leave the bucket covered with a lid or something more breathable like a cloth?

Nick, do you mind if I post some of my homemade cleaning recipes and laundry soap on your fb page? I know it's not chicken related but I haven't bought any in years and love making my own.

yes you can use pretty much anything...people have been fermenting things for ..well..ever... and do not cover it..if you have to put something over, make sure it can breathe......good luck!! it doesn't take long to get it going...

Aww how cute!

Hopefully the neighbours got the hint, I went out to close the coop for the girls and they were all in their yard talking when their 14yr old kid comes screaming down the side of OUR house on the 4 wheeler, across our backyard and I stood there shaking my head.  All I could hear when he reached them was his mum going "cody don't do that anymore!"

Yay, hopefully that means you have an ally you can go to when they don't respect the property line. Thank her for asking her son to not drive on your property. Maybe bring them some eggs, tell them how you love the quiet neighborhood and you're happy their family saved the neighborhood by buying the other property...and how you wish it was adjacent to theirs so they didn't have to trespass, with a wink and a smile...
Hopefully she'll get the message. Maybe you could even draft the 14 year old for some odd job, get to know him well enough that you'd be comfortable asking him yourself to stay off your lawn. Good luck!
The only trouble we've had with trespassers has been our chickens free ranging to the neighbors lawn occasionally. They hadn't gotten a warm welcome in the neighborhood, as they came with a sex offender notification(!) They politely asked us to collect the chickens so they could mow the lawn. We called the girls home and left them some eggs, even though it made us a little queasy. Now we wave to each other from a disyance and haven't gotten more chicken complaints, even though I know they sneak up there occasionally. They're renting and word is they will be gone soon. Our property is big but narrow, wish I could teach the chickens to read the survey map!
