[/IMG] I now have a quint of partridge rock bantams I was given in trade for an equine massage treatment. The breeder won at every fair she entered her birds in this year so I'm excited to try myself. The pullets are still young and haven't started laying yet. Has anyone had these guys...

I sent you a pm, not sure if you saw it? Have you ever shipped to canada?

I want chickens to help me make use of kitchen scraps. Veggie tops and tails, apple and potato peelings, fish skins and bones, soft/rotten fruit. Makes more sense to me to feed to chickens and get eggs, than PAY to throw them in the garbage. And composting causes too many problems with the bears.

I can't remember the specifics of how it works now, but with paper piecing, ANY pattern is easy, once you get the general idea. you just sew on the lines, trim and flip. One year we did a variety of different styled christmas trees and worked them into place mats. there were probably 6 different...

hi everybody, I stumbled across this board tonight looking for information on quail, and thought I'd pop in and say boo. My farm-y-ness is still in its infancy... planning stages really. I know what I want, and I've known I want a couple acres and some animals for nearly my whole life, but for...
