    Free self watering plant pots.

    This is an awesome idea! Thank you so much for sharing! My recycling bin is out at the curb. I think I may go pull out some of my old water bottles!

    Crochet "Chat"

    Hello! I want to share a picture taken the other day. My niece's 3rd birthday party was on Saturday, and I made this ripple blanket for her. It seems like she enjoys it!

    Silkie chicks and packing peanuts.

    Craig's List is a good idea. You should have some luck there. Post something in your local feed store or wherever you buy your feed. You will be able to get homes for them somehow! If not, try to find a farmer. Good luck with your first chicks! They are a lot of fun, so enjoy!

    Please help me figure these out! :-D

    I was wondering that about the black chicks - the red feathers. They were very skittish when we first got them. Today was the first day I got into the coop with them, and they calmed down quite a bit. I think with a little work, they will be pretty tame. The barred chicks are definitely skittish!

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    Hello, everyone! I had chickens and turkeys several years ago, but I had to re-home all of them due to my neighbors not liking my roosters. The code enforcement guy made us get rid of them. However, I have been going through a rough time in my life. I have suffered from depression, but this...

    I am now on my laptop. I see I didn't get a good shot of their combs - they all have straight combs. Thank you for replying!

    My husband bought these chicks but I am not sure what breed they are. There are 4 black ones and their feathers have a green and purple sheen to them. There are also 2 that may be Barred Rocks?

    Crochet "Chat"

    Hello! I joined BYC back in 2009, but had to get rid of my too-large flock (I got carried away...) I have been battling depression, and my husband told me he thought I should get a few hens again, because they were the one hobby that I truly loved... well, until I learned how to crochet...

    Hello, everyone! It's been ages since I've posted on here. I had to get rid of all my chickens and turkeys a few years ago. I got carried away, and got in trouble with the neighbors and code enforcement officer. I've been having problems lately, and my husband told me I can get 3 or 4 hens...

    What are you canning now?

    I haven't canned in TWO long years. So today is the day - I have a beet patch that needs picking, and 2 brand new cases of jars just begging to be opened. Look out pressure cooker, here comes Momma! The next question is, what to plant next in the bare patch of soil I'll have... Hmmm, oh the...

    Square Foot Gardening Thread

    hollymh, those are awesome pictures!!! My garden is doing very well. We have a "wild" rabbit that is living in our gardens. We can get within 2 feet of him, so my daughter has named him "tomato". I don't mind a nibble here and there, but geez! I have NO lettuce, even after planting it twice...

    Standard or Broad Breasted Bronze, What is my Turkey Breed ?

    I have 4 BBB girls, but they are only a few months old. Mine have more "ticking" on their feathers, but then again they are still very young. I didn't realize how much the family would fall in love with these ladies, and wish they weren't broad breasted and "only" bronze.

    Square Foot Gardening Thread

    I was just out in my garden, and I'm loving how much growth I see already. Does anyone here use the vertical trellis for tomatoes and/or squash, and if you do could you please share a picture? I am trouble imagining how to prune them to work with the vertical gardening. DH doesn't know it yet...
