    Frustrated farmer here, new to keeping chickens and looking forward to the experience. In today's economy, I have come to treasure the values that my parents instilled in me as a child. To grow my own food and not be so reliant on spending money needlessly for things I can do for myself. My...

    I may have to get rid of my chickens. I have around 13 large fowl hens, 1 bantam rooster, a Mille Fluer Hen, I bantam hen. I might have to move and won't be able to take them. Free for the taking, you just have to come pick them up.

    Quote: Not necessarily so, some plants like water irises, cattails, rushes, will grow out of the water. Watersprite which most people place in their aquariums will change it's shape once it grows out of the water. Water lilies, which need to be kept potted, will grow and float on the...

    Shelley, You can always check with the local county extension agent, but basically in our area I believe it's 14 to 16 inches deep. Another thing to do is before you put the sand and liner into the hole, dust the sides with a good coating of lime to keep underground varmits from burrowing...

    It must be the season or our hens are using the computers when we aren't looking to talk to each other. I have a broody also. What breed is it that has the tufts by their ears? Anyway, that hen has gone broody on me and is sitting on about a dozen eggs. Has anybody had any luck in taking...

    Hey all, I just got an email from Meyer Hatchery, they are having a one day sale on their All Pullet Rainbow Layer chicks, guaranteed at least 5 different breeds for $25.00 plus S&H. They are taking phone orders only though for this special. Just thought I would let you know.

    Quote: I enjoyed meeting you. Sorry I didn't have more time. I enjoy clerking and then had birds to prep, so it makes for a hectic day. Glad you got a companion for the silkie. I ended up taking home the partridge cochin pair. (After vowing to cut back!) Yolonda I know what you mean, if I...

    Quote: Thanks!! My Buff and Blue came from Schweizer (I'm pretty sure, long blond hair?). She was very nice. My White one I got from a teenage girl, she had a bunch of them on the bottom. The older one was one of my many pity buys, cause no one was buying her When I got home I had to do some...
