Okay - here's my submission! The gals are all waiting to get back in after I've painted the coop! Cathy

Even though I can't make it to the swap, I thought I'd let folks know that I have two adorable bantams that I'm selling. I've posted it on Craigs list, but possibly some of you are interested. They are brother & sister, descendants of ZooMummzy's lovely bantams (Delphine momma and Louis - who...

I've thought long and hard about this, and unfortunately I can't see any way to add this to my schedule. I've been slightly overwhelmed by adding meat rabbits to my yard chickens, plus all the harvesting/preserving that is typical in summer/fall. Plus I took the Master Preserver course at the...

Thanks so much, Jeanine - it was a wonderfully organized event, and thanks, also for letting me share your tent. I'm so glad to have met many of you! I had a good time, and hope I'll see many of you in October. Rustler, the little red metal chick is sitting amongst my houseplants because I can't...

I've got the truck cab packed and the rest of it ready to pack tomorrow! (It's been raining here off and on all day - fingers crossed for tomorrow). I have a bunch of new aprons, towels and potholders - come check out the table! (I'll be with Cloverleaf, so hard to miss me! ;-)) See you all...

Since Cloverleaf said okay to me, feel free to open it to another - I see there is at least one other!

Thanks so much, GrumypantsMomma - so good to know I'll fit in somewhere! I'll hang with Cloverleaf unless she overfills her tent, but thanks for the backup!

Well, it's not like you were busy doing anything else, LOL Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to it and I wouldn't want my FREE SAMPLE COOKIES to get wet! I really appreciate the favor!

I've asked before and gotten no response, but is there anyone who has a corner of their rain/shade tarp they can let me "borrow"? I have a card table for my jams (and chicken poetry books) and a coatrack/hatstand kind of pole for the chicken tea cozies and potholders. That's all the space I...

Someone posted a reply, and it looks like it's something called "Lash" - an odd thing that seems to be correlated to hens hormones... not harmful, I'm glad to say!

Yes! That's exactly what it looked like!! Thanks so much for the links - that reassures me a lot. It also might rule out one of the hens (who lays green eggs and is producing pretty regularly)... I'll just keep watch and see if I can figure it out... and hope it doesn't happen again.

Hi, all - I just posted a question on the Emergencies Forum, but wanted to also ask you-all, since you seem so knowlegeable...so that I don't repeat, the topic under Emergencies is: two very weird eggs in a month? Caution - yukky photos And I'd love to know if you think I need to be...

I am not sure which hen has laid these two (if it's one hen) - four are in the area where I found these. They are more weird than the usual paper-thin eggshell, and I'd like to know if anyone thinks I should be concerned. None of my flock seem odd, lethargic or sick. This egg I found today...
