    egg painting/psanky?

    Me and my mother were big on pysanky a while ago. My mom got awesome at it. It is a long process, but really helps cure the cold, boring winter nights.

    Parenting teens is HARD - rant! Update on pg.4

    Well, I am a teenager. I'm usually not at my house during the summer, and neither is my brother. He is always spending the night at his friends houses, or going with them places. I never used to leave home. I was a homebody until I met my boyfriend. He showed me what living was about, and with...

    Funny Snake Story

    Me and my brother used to do the same thing as kids to try to scare our grandmother (I know, naughty naughty) . We would put fake, life-sized toy snakes out in the yard and hope we would scare her. They got her once, but we got a bad scolding from my dad for it. Oh, the shenanigans of...

    Happy Saturday Everyone

    I woke up around 6 this morning cause the fridge was making a strange noise and I had to fix it. Tossed and turned for hours, woke up at 8:30. Found that I was COVERED in chiggers from working out in the weeds yesterday. Plans for the day include finishing the chicken coop and run. Just got...

    Young Roo (43 days old) with Black Poo?

    Hello all... my juvy RIR roo has had some odd looking poops lately...they are really dark colored, like black, with a tiny bit of white in it. What could it be? (Some backround to the story, or possible causes... A few days ago, I discovered that the homemade feeder I had made for the chickens...

    Outdoor playpen? Post yours!

    Those are all some great ideas! I love all of the pictures too, guys. The idea of the bottomless bunny cage: that is so simple! I would have never thought of that. I have an old rat cage (actually rabbit cage) that I completely forgot about! Thanks guys!

    First time chicken owner... which breed..

    Well, what do you know! I have all three of those breeds! Buff Orpingtons are wonderful birds. They are calm, beautiful, great mothers, good egg layers, but...they are winter hardy, which means they can bare the cold more then the hot. Shade is a must with this breed. Barred Rocks are a great...

    Will NOT be buying TSC feeds again

    Dumor really does make their poop really smelly. I would love to get my chickies some good food, but I really dont know what to do with all of the starter. Not even half of the stuff has been used yet! The next time I go to get them food, I will be sure to purchase a different kind.

    Outdoor playpen? Post yours!

    I would really love to take my chicks on a little "field trip" to the outdoors, but I just cant think of how to go about making one. It needs to be light weight, portable, has sides and no small openings, and be tall enough for them to not jump over. Have you made one that works well? What...

    How did you go from 'zero' to having chickens?

    I had been in contact with chickens before when I was a child. My cousins have a farm, and a good sized chicken coop/run and a few flocks that free range the area. I had been into the coop a few times, chased the chickens around (I know...bad),helped collect eggs once, climbed on top of the...

    how many chickens do you have ?

    I have a very small flock right now- only 4 chickies, still in the brooder. I am hoping that they are all hens, but I have a feeling my larger, lead RIR is a roo. Hopefully its just a bossy girl. If not, I would be willing to trade him for a hen (or two) in the future. I would love to get a...
