    Quote: They do go in at night by themselves, but I don't always want to have to wait till dark to be done for the evening. So I am trying to train them to come when I want them to.

    Indiana Laws selling eggs?

    Does anyone know where to look to be able to sell eggs LEGALLY in Indiana, specifically Elkhart County. I'v looked and looked, tried the board of health, ag sites etc. Any help or a new direction to try would be helpful. I am guessing it would be less than 5 Doz./week. Thanks Brian

    How the heck can I DO this? Getting frustrated.

    Quote: we r kinda new, and use sand. It is easy to rake out and drainage is as good as it gets. That being said, depending on weather it can also be a little messy till things thaw out BUT much better than mud.

    just killed our first rooster

    Quote: That's what i thought we would try also. Heard if you've never done it, it takes as long as plucking at first. I have skinned muskrats and such but it's been a few years......OK more than a FEW yrs. LOL

    just killed our first rooster

    We've been reading on this too, from what i understand he will be tough from about old enough to want to try mounting the girls, although (good chance in crockpot will help) . Curious to see how he turns out, we have a few we need to send to freezer camp also, but don't want to waste my time if...

    Araucana compatibility

    Quote: I have heard things of araucanas being less tame, or a bit "wilder" than the average chicken. I have never owned one though, so take this with a grain of salt We have some that are flighty and others i can pet, if they are raised together from chicks I would think they would all get...

    I caved. I put a heat lamp in the coop...

    I too have a 100 watt bulb and ONLY turn them on when it gets around zero, they have to be able to tolerate cold weather or the chickens from years back would never have made to modern day. Trying to keep in mind that all the wild animals and birds survive, crows, sparrows, etc. We are all just...
