    An Eglu

    Yup, An Eglu: Posted on February 27, 2009 When we looked into chickens, my husband was all for the greatest-cleanliness-with-lowest-maintenance approach. So he ordered an Eglu, THEN called me to see if it was okay. I was in major sticker shock. We aren't wealthy. He's a teacher, and I'm a...

    How we started with chickens: Updated on July 10, 2008 Like a lot of other folks, we wanted fresh eggs and help with the gardening. We knew we couldn't have roosters because we live in a neighborhood, and it would seriously bug the neighbors. We decided to get them locally, and what was...

    Which breeds have the softest feathers?

    Have you seen egganic industries new Coop?

    Okay, I'm in giggling fits. This is like something out of Nick Park's animation. This SO could have been straight out of Chicken Run (eerily, either Ginger OR one of those evil chicken profiteering companies could have been the architects...). Now they need a coop that looks like a...

    Crafts for Halloween!

    I started looking through nccatnip's thread on Christmas crafts and thought, wow, I'm still thinking about Halloween! I usually make Mexican sugar skulls around the beginning of the month for decorations throughout October. For Halloween, I make a treat bag for my niece, nephews, and little...

    Strange little wild bird, sad story.

    It's weird though. I hunt and fish occasionally throughout the year and never feel weird like this about killing game animals. I think the difference is killing something respectfully for food and killing something cruelly just for the sake of killing. What a jerk! :mad: I really hate...

    Free Black Australorp roosters - South Carolina - TAKEN

    Yay! A really nice lady from my local Freecycle is taking all 6 of our roosters. I'm excited- she's had roosters before (20 or so at a time), and once she heard that they get along just fine in one enclosure together, she was happy to take them as a group. She said her family just likes to...

    Free Black Australorp roosters - South Carolina - TAKEN

    We have 2 Black Australorp roosters that need a home. They are about 7 weeks old. They will tolerate having their chests rubbed if there's something in it for them (getting out of the pen or treats), but it takes a lot more patience & calmness than it does with our Barred Rock and RIR roos...
