    Raising daughters

    My daughter has always helped me with the chickens with her brother. She would pick up rooster and hen alike, parade them around showing them to whoever was available, sometimes taking them as far as the neighbors and even the nearby village. I'm so glad she's here with me now, or I wouldn't...

    I think he is trying to mate me?

    Hello Yes, it does seem as if that's what he's doing. I happened to have a gander like this many years ago. He would do the same thing, even though I'm most certainly not female. I just showed him who's boss and that was that. grab him by his neck and place the overeager chap somewhere away...

    Guid eenin from Scotland!

    Hello there. Long time chicken handler here: almost 70 years now, and not afraid to admit it! I love my chooks: many rare breeds but mostly commons. All are tame as a loyal dog, and come when I call. Also have some highlander cattle, sheep, and geese. Joined BYC because of my daughter, who is...
