    Thanksgiving- What are your plans?

    Hosting the In-Laws....cooking the turkey we hatched back in March. The thing I love most about Thanksgiving is that my FIL and DH both enjoy getting up early on Thanksgiving day to handle the turkey and dressing. That just leaves me with the sides!

    I just heard the "egg song" for the first time today!!

    I thought we were the only ones who called it the "egg song". It's so cool! We have a rooster named Seargent. He can always tell if it's one of his ladies and he'll answer her back from where ever in the yard he is.. Congratulations!!

    Spaetzle recipe

    Quote: If you have a potato ricer you can use that.....I've also just put the dough into a gallon size zip bag.....I just snip off one of the corners and squeeze. As you are squeezing the dough out you can snip dumpling size pieces off.

    "Farm Fresh Eggs Are Pooped On" R U Kidding?

    The first time I took a dozen eggs to work to sell I got all kinds of questions. I worked with mostly young ladies in their early 20's and I apparently was the closest thing they knew to "farm living". I was asked "aren't eggs just chicken poop?" and "Can turkeys and chicken have babies...

    "My Life as a Turkey"

    I'm just glad we watched this before we processed our Thanksgiving flock earlier that same day....we would have had a few disappointed customers when we called and told them their dinner had been given a pardon!

    How many people eat there chickens on this form

    When we order turkey poults they are usually shipped with rooster chicks we usually process those as keeping them all would cause our hen to rooster ratio to be off. We have also raised a small flock of meat birds that we only processed the roosters from. We kept the hens for layers. There is a...

    I'm confused. Can I have my Turkey with chickens or not?

    We have a mixed flock of 14 chickens,2 ducks, 4 turkeys (until yesterday we had 4 others - Thanksgiving casualties) and they have all always had free run of the yard. They all eat together, forage in the yard together and occasionally sleep together in the coop or in the trees.....yes, we have...

    Insect control

    Does anyone else have a problem with flies in their area? If so, what to do you do about it? We are having a major problem with flies around the yard near the coop and runs. Most of our flock has the run of the yard and usually uses the coop and pens for roosting. They are also becoming a...

    Think it's too cold for your chickens? Think again...

    We don't really heat our coop, we do deep bedding. We have a 100 watt light on a timer for laying purposes due to the shorter amount of daylight in the winter....We had a record amount of snow north of Dallas last year and I went out to check on the flock. They were all tucked nicely in the coop...

    What kind of shoes do you wear out to the chickens?

    I have a pair of cheap garden clogs that I got at Big Lots last year. I can slip them on and off pretty quickly at the back door. I love them and they have served me well. However, they have begun to split up the the back and fear they must be retired. I want to get a pair of warm, waterproof...
