    Feather Picking Emergency!!!

    Pine tar is something else that I would recommend putting on those that have bare skin. That will keep them from pecking it into open wounds.

    The movie "Fresh"

    Search for "fresh part 1" on youtube. I don't know if all of it is still on there.

    What to do during college????!!??!??!?

    I think the costs is very dependent on what school/city you are in. I am currently in college and it's $850 cheaper every quarter for me to live off-campus in a much nicer one-bedroom (with my own bath, kitchen, and living room) than it is to share a 15x12 ft dorm room with a corridor bath. We...

    Feeder ideas for 50 flock

    We have 50 per tractor and use rain gutters on the sides (raised). No fancy system, we just dump the feed in through the wire on down the line. You're right about the circle feeders (even multiple of them) presenting problems when more than 20 want to eat at one time. The rain gutters have...

    Horse people... Remember I was looking for a new mount for DD?

    Quote: I agree. I have to say I'm really surprised and confused at the board's reaction to the last horse and all the positive feedback with this one. She clearly has a quiet and tolerant attitude but she looks very inexperienced and plain sloppy at best. As is, she wouldn't even stand a...

    Sewing machine recommendation

    I love my old Singer! Can't always just expect to go out and find one, but they do show up dirt cheap in all kinds of places.

    Dressing up horses for costume class

    If she's small enough you could manipulate some XL overalls to fit her front legs! Add a straw hat and you're good to go! You could also do the Indian princess with a cardboard canoe attached to the horse's sides. Another idea is grapes! Purple sleazy and blanket with styrofoam balls...

    Meyer Rainbow pullets

    I have been very pleased with the Rainbow pullet pack we got from Meyer. They shipped 26. All arrived healthy and we didn't lose a single one.

    Question about Jersey Giants?

    Where did you get them from and how much white? It's entirely possible for black Jersey Giants to have white feathers, although it is very undesirable. I raised and showed black and white Jersey Giants in 4-H and this was one of the first things I looked at when selecting and culling birds...

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    Quote: Our blacks will have those white feathers every now and again. They lose them within a few weeks, though.

    FREE, Beautiful Bantam Brassyback Cochin - PIC inside

    NO SHIPPING, for pick-up or delivery only! The longstanding amicable relationships between the roosters in our barnyard ended yesterday when our bantam Cochin "Bob" challenged on of our 17 lb. Jersey Giants to a duel. Bob may have definitely lost the battle, but he doesn't believe he has lost...

    Good Price for Meaties

    Quote: That's why it's nicknamed "Whole Paycheck." The brown eggs at the one here are $4.50/dozen. So glad I have chickens! $10 per bird seems fairly cheap, imo! Costs may be different there but I know I wouldn't break even with that.

    Meatie housing question

    We raise ours in tractors and we'll never go back to coop housing! We move them 2-3 times a day. The birds themselves stay much cleaner and there is so much less poop and stink to deal with. I don't think the tractor method would fair well in a good snowfall, so we don't raise ours in the...
