    This is not for now but for the future event that I need to put down one of my 6 hens. I cannot do it, nor can my husband, and I dont want to have to take one of my girls to the vet and traumatize her (and pay a ton). Just looking to have someone on hand nearby I can call on if the need arises...

    What predator am I dealing with?

    Twice now I’ve lost a chicken to a myster predator. This is how it goes: I hear a chicken commotion- my flock is kind of making distressed and attention-seeking noises. I go out to check on them and one of them is missing. I look around the whole entire yard and no feathers, no blood, no signs...

    Feel Free to Duck-in to the Maine Duck Inn!

    In the depths of winter 2017, as blizzards howled outside our home on the coast of Maine, we responded to a Craigslist ad posted by Full Fork Farm in China, Maine. We wrote that we’d like to reserve six silver Appleyard ducklings. That one email has resulted in so much joy...and a huge learning...
