    When can I put the babies outside?

    Well, I have 2 left... out of 6... pretty good considering.... Today it was nice and I have them outside in a little pen... they do have a bucket shelter with straw inside the metal "cage".... I'm trying to wean them off being in the house. It has been foggy here, so a bit cool at night...

    Soap Makers Help!

    Well... I know you'd like for folks to "see" the swirls... so I'll suggest the next best thing. 1. Use coffee filters (if you use round soaps, if not, it will still work... it has for me 8-12 cup size... use 2 if you have to) 2. Use pastry "paper" you know, those thin papers you pick up...

    Traumatized orphans

    Day before yesterday was an AWFUL day. Got home from the doctor only to see my boxer loose in my padduc... thank goodness he'd not harmed my angora goats... but then I heard screaming chicks... went to see if he'd chased them out and they fell in a hole... nope, he'd killed my hen Gabbie...

    hen pecking chicks

    I have 2 adopted hens (someone roo-napped my boy) so it is just the girls. Henrietta had 9 bitties... Now, the other hen is taking sucker punches at the chicks. They are 2 weeks old and still under Henrietta's protection (and she has done an awesome job)... My question is, why is the other...

    FREE chicken coop plan (nice one too) on the Purina Mills Website

    I've enjoyed looking at all the pictures. Since our adopted hen surprised me with 9 bitties a few days ago I've asked hubs to build a coop so we don't loose any more adopted "children".... my rooster is AWOL.... I'm figuring some of my neighbors reclaimed him as part of their "games" that some...

    New to group, and chickens from NC

    I don't think it would have happened had I not been laid up sick with the flu.... once I heard them I'd have been out the door like white on rice.... Hubs is looking at plans now, to try and get something that will keep them locked up as the sun starts going down... I'm also thinking about...

    Beaders come hither!

    What kind of loom do you have? I'm debating on whether to pull out my Mirix loom to sell it. I got the one with the shedding device and have never used it.... suuuuh-pose I could use it in weaving my hand spun... but gads, it seems like I get tooo many hobbies going at once and they literally...
