    Granny's gone and done it again

    Hi, Gang! Haven't been on BYC in ages, so you know the first place to check out had to be GrannyHatchet's thread! Granny, hope you are well. I stopped getting email notices etc and got busy with other things and next thing you know it's over a year? since popping in. Hi, CSolis! :frow...

    Dunghill Fowl

    Just stumbled onto this thread. Very exciting if you have managed to resurrect this variety of chicken! :jumpyCongrats! I hope someone posts a pic soon. Not sure what my chances are of ever getting to meet them in person. This has got me wondering . . . Would this type have been widespread...

    Oops, better get to bed. I LOVE when they push the clocks ahead, even though we lose the hour, but since we lost the hour, it will catch up when least expected. Cheers, All! :frow

    Busy. Should have gone to bed but you know how it is. . . Finally got Fios last month and my brother was having trouble hooking up the laptop so he said why don`t I just get a chromebook and so I did. So now I can :frow:pop:caf anytime. Have been looking at a lot of Youtube but made the...

    sigh If TSC gets a store in my area it`s going to be very tempting to give them my business instead of the feed store that`s been around for more than a half century.

    Dog name ideas?

    Pretty much everything I know about border collies and herding is from reading Nop`s Trials by Donald McCaig. Great story and lots of info about how border collies work. He mentioned something about brace? (it`s been ages so I may misremember the term) dogs that learn the opposite command so...

    Comment by 'ChirpnBern' in article 'Aggressive Baby Chicks and How to Stop the Behavior'

    The remedy I was told about 40 years ago was to put a piece of sod in with them. Always works for us. They peck the grass instead of each other. If they were out with Momma they`d be pecking and pulling on everything but options limited in a brooder, so 1 or 2 of them substitute mates` eyes...

    Dog name ideas?

    How exciting for you! It seems a very personal issue though. In my experience my animals have always sort of told me their names, as in I had to meet them and sometimes even have them for a bit to know what the best name would be. Good luck!

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    Hi! I go to Davis in Rushland. That`s maybe a half hour or so from me. Perkasie would be too much of a hike to go pretty much every weekend (which I do). Thanks for the tip about Pickering Valley. Might have to check them out if I`m feeling ambitious. And hello to dheltzel and Auroradream26...

    Ooooh, okay, couldn`t remember if I ever heard of these so just looked them up. That one page full of photos. . . They look Photoshopped or something! I can see why so many people want them. They are really special. Upside to being so broody I guess is you get a lot of them, but downside is...

    Talk me into? As in what breed(s)? I`m up for suggestions. It`s probably time for an infusion of young blood this year anyway. I go to Davis Feed Mill in Rushland, Bucks Co. One used to be able to get all kinds of cool birds like chukar, bobwhite (I think) quail, wild turkeys, ringneck...
