    Huku Haus

    My husband used his chainsaw to cut it, as that's what he was working with at the time. He says a bandsaw or similar will do a better job, but he was on the job and not wanting to mess around with changing tools. He cut just the end, with the first cut being across the width, and the 2nd down...

    Huku Haus

    Hello All, My husband is a Marine, and everything is done to Marine standards - even building the flaming chicken coop! At the time he was driving me crazy, but, now that it's done, I'm the proudest mama of hens of all the land! Look at all this gorgeousness! It has a window box, complete...

    Mystery Rooster - What is he?

    Hello Experts, We were given this mystery rooster when we went to get our ladies. Does anyone recognize what he is? When we first got him, he crowed all the time. We don't hear him crow any more, but he seems healthy and happy, nonetheless. He is the only rooster we have. We got six...

    He would tuck his feet beneath the scales on the back of the dragon's neck, hunch down, and allow the wind to whistle over his feathers as the dragon swooped and swirled through the heat hazes above the desert.

    Americana rooster for free (bryan, TX)

    My hubby says it would be a full day's drive to get to you and back and it's not worth it for one chicken. If you were willing to meet us halfway, or post him (we'd pay costs), we'll take him. But if not, we'll need to pass. I would love to take him, he sounds great for our needs! We have eight...

    What can I use to treat fire ant bites on a 5 week old chick?

    Oh wow, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was an African remedy! I went to fetch my bottle to let you know where I got it and, sure enough, it's from Africa. The stuff is over the counter there and we use it a LOT! I've searched through all the options I could find to track down the real stuff...

    What can I use to treat fire ant bites on a 5 week old chick?

    Potassium permanganate will help her heal. You use a TINY amount of it, about 1/4 teaspoon, mixed well in a cup of tepid-to-mildly-warm water and bathe her in the water. The water turns a scary purple, but she won't. ;) It will get her healing really fast, doesn't sting at all, and the warmth...

    We live in Medina, TX. We'd like him, but will need to make a plan to get to you. Request a stay of execution, your honor! ;) Hubs would like to know how old he is? We don't mind his age, just curious. Checked: it's a 4 1/2 hour drive to you. Would you post him to us?

    An African Chick in Texas

    Yup. We used to get them as 4-month old pullets from a local factory. They laid huge brown eggs but not one ever sat longer than it took to pop an egg out. We got two roadrunners, one black, one white, and they were prolific setters. Between the two of them, at one point, we had about three...
