    OK who is ready for the conversion?

    I'm psyched! I find the home page, graphics and layout really refreshing. It will take some playing around to get to know how to navigate successfully but I'm looking forward to it.

    Opinions Plz: Durango woman’s dog shot, killed after chicken attack

    I hate to admit this, but I do think it is possible. Of course it depends on the demographic of the area. It sounds like the kind of place that has quite a few gun toting ranchers so that is a hopeful sign. I am a dog lover and have a great dane and a sharpei but I wouldn't begrudge a neighbor...

    Is Brooding Contagious?

    I have 9 hens. One of them went broody at least 2 months ago, she is a cochin. She still is even though she isn't sitting on any eggs. One week after she went broody we noticed another of the girls doing the same. Approximately 2 weeks after that a third girl went broody. Next my silkie girl...
