*I am in no way a chicken expert. I have only been in the chicken business for just over a year. I have, however, been in the Essential Oil club for 3 years, and have done a LOT of research and learning on them. I wouldn't call myself an expert on those either, BUT I have a LOT of...
My rooster was always pretty docile, but lately he’s been difficult.
He constantly comes at me with his chest out, wing down, sideways rooster shuffle. He did that occasionally before, but now he does it every morning when I let them out, and every time I go to get in their yard. Also, before...
We got pellets because we were down south visiting my husbands family and we found it on sale at a local farm store. Pellets were way cheaper that crumbles ($8 a bag!!) so we grabbed a few of them.
The chickens like them just the same, and I feel there is less waste.
Besides their later pellets (we actually just switched from crumbles to pellets), mine get pretty much everything. We have a bucket and all our edible scraps go in there.
Our chickens have their coop inside a huge fenced in yard. In the corner of their yard we have a compost pile. I dump...
It’s a play on “hollow”, but geographically speaking were kind of up on a hill, so it doesn’t fit. It’s mostly just in honor our Dads, and I loved the way it flows off the tongue.
I always figured he was a mutt of some sort, but it’s nice to put a name to it! Thanks :)
We’ve recently gotten interested in hatching and I’m super curious to see what kind of babies he makes, and especially what color eggs they’re gonna lay!
Bumping this thread because I’d love to hear how you guys came up with your farm names. ;)
We started thinking about what we loved about this place. We came up with the willow tree and played around with “Willow” something for a while, but ended up scraping that. We loved how peaceful it is, but...
Naming things is hard! I’m currently trying to come up with names for my trip of bad assed, crazy white leghorns.
First I thought about Mean Girls, but I don’t want a Karen... then I thought golden girls, but there us 4 of them. Right now I’m debating going with Rizzo, Frenchie, and Marty...
I used to shoot with my dad and we loved it. He was always so proud that I shot, and he like to tell people. :p
He passed away 2 years ago and I didn’t have the motivation to shoot any more. Then my hands decided they didn’t want to work anymore. I had two surgeries this summer. First in the...
My leghorns (all my chickens,really, but especially my leghorns) aren’t that friendly. They come over by me, but as soon as I put my hand out they run.
We call my trio of white leghorns the crazy white ladies
We have tightened the security. We also put a trail cam and a live trap out there and we eliminated 3 coons. We’re still setting the trap at night just in case ;).
We have a coop, turned shed that was on the property when we bought it. We turned it back into a coop and fenced in a large area...
