    Thank you so much for your reply. I did not know that Silkies were Bantams. I am going by the Banties that were here when we moved in. I just know they are smaller than the regular size hens. Do you know where can I find the names of other Bantams that might be here? Thanks again, Salli

    Thank you all for the great information on fermenting chicken feed. I have been eating KEFIR (fermented milk) for several years. I just purchased some parrot seed mix & am seriously thinking of fermenting it. I will look for smaller containers as there is only one hen at the moment but will...

Our neighbor has a furniture shop next door to us with his house on the other side of us so we are in the middle. A wonderful place to be-this is where...
