Being an old recipe, it probably means normal vegetable oil. Personally I would change to olive oil just because I prefer it and it may have health benefits.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean 10-30 motor oil.
Met @sharon in Uniontown today! I was so excited!!!
My ducks didn't sell, but I did buy a little bantam hen. To keep Shimmer company inside this winter.
Her name's Penny. She's a very healthy girl, about a year old.
Pretty sure she's a nankin mix, probably nankin/oegb.
@Barbie, Awesome Job! Raccoons Beware!!
@Lisa, you can get Ivermectin at Tractor Supply. I usually up the protein when my birds are molting.
My Devan is doing well, she gets a break over the holidays and has her radiation therapy in January. She is back to work and even got a promotion, good stuff.
Don't these 2 look like they're posing?
We routinely give our birds left over carcasses from chicken, turkey or fish.... also dog or cat food on occasion. I am not a nutritionist by any means, but the only side effect I've noticed is that the birds come to expect treats more often! LOL
a neighbor used black piping (like the 1.5" semi rigid stuff) to heat his pool. he had like a hundred feet of it and ran it in a serpentine pattern on a south facing slope, it was on a circulation pump that moved the water like once a minute. It was very effective... You could do something similar on a roof. It wouldn't work all of the time, but you could supplement with a tank heater or something similar for the odd days the set up wouldn't work. Having a circulator on the tank would help also.
Not gross at all.... nothing more eye opening as to the true nature of our cute little fluffy butts than watching them tear a carcass apart!
not a sick mind at all!! A sick mind would give hens particular rooster parts when culling the aggressive ones...
So glad she is doing well and will have a break over the holidays... congrats on the promotion!
x2.... as far as worming... call around to some local vets to see what it would cost you to have a fecal test done. It would give you a guideline to determine if worming was needed or not.
Beautiful shot! It does look like they are posing and very proud of themselves! Rightfully so!

I think you are right about trying to crow. I was in the coop cleaning the poop board and I heard him make a sound like a half of a crow. Is he around the age to start to crow? He is getting so big and beautiful!! I haven't been on for a couple of days either so I didn't see your post until today. Thanks for the help!

or possibly pure old english, had a couple just like her this past summer
But I'll look into the pure Old English thing. She just looks like a good broody hen to me. Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll sit on eggs next spring or summer
Thank you! She's so funny. She definitely lets you know when something is out of the ordinary. She saw the dog when I was carrying her down to the garage for quarentine and went CRAZY.So glad to hear she is getting better!@Barbie, Awesome Job!
