    Thank you - me, too! By the way, how does your beagle get along with your animals? We have a hound, also, and she's good with the chickens now, but we'll see with the goats.

    My proposed home-made chicken feed mix- does it sound right?

    It's no wonder our neighbor, the cattle farmer, can't keep chickens - he always hires the wrong watchdogs!

    Water's Frozen!

    Looks like you might have a Plott hound, too? Our Violet helps remind me to change the chicken water a few times a day...she always runs right up to the run because that's the routine!
