    Growing fodder for chickens

    We over-seeded our entire yard and our dormant garden plot with 25 pounds of rye grass this past November. We had the greenest yard ever and our chickens and goats were the happiest ever. They've had tender young greens all winter. South Texas does have a few advantages. It's still going...

    Texas

    One of the nicest things I've noticed since getting chickens is our lack of scorpions. We've always had a problem and this year? Nada. Could be coincidence, might not be. And boy was is hilarious to watch them when our yard was covered in caterpillars last spring! This past month we finally...

    Our RIR's are not the friendliest in the bunch. Our BA and our EE are the sweetest. our BA are also the most curious things.

    Had to put ice packs in the chicken brooder today. My meaties were panting like crazy! Probably aren't too many places having this problem right now!

    City Meat Birds

    Plus, it is fair to warn you, what goes in must come out...and a lot comes out of a Cornish. Too many birds in a small space and they become very soiled with all that output. So, is it all clear as mud now? X2!!!

    made a mistake on processing will it still be okay?

    holderh - if I were you I'd eat those suckers! You know - you are doing the right thing by slowly building your resistance to harmful bacteria just by raising and eating your own birds processed on your own place. Dare I say it? Yes I will. Your processing "mistakes" most likely still produce...

    made a mistake on processing will it still be okay?

    "We had Cornish cross meat chickens and they just do not have the personality and lovability that a laying hen does. I am attached to my layers but I am always ready for processing day for the meats." I am in total agreement here. I'm always on my husband to get those suckers processed...

    Funny Chicken Names

    We have so many chickens that they have to share names. The only one who doesn't is Princess (aka - world's ugliest chicken). She has the distinction of being the only chicken out of our first batch that we didn't eat! (Shoulda named her LUCKY!) 4 of our Ladies Cluck share the name...

    Smoked Turkey Legs

    I am craving me some smoked turkey legs like they sell at the County Fair. These are so tender they just fall off the bone. Problem - I don't know how to cook them. Anyone out there got a great recipe for making these. BTW - I know my way around the kitchen so you don't have to spend a ton of...

    Nervous about McMurray order

    I've ordered from Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Cameron. I've not had any problems with any of them. And I live in SE Texas.

    I took some pictures of our resident broody hen - Princess - a.k.a. The Ugliest Hen I Ever Seen. She's molting right now so her ugliness has increased exponentially. These pics just don't do her justice. Anybody got an idea of what she is???? The science lab at the school where I teach...
