    Big fatty lump on my chickens leg!? *pictures*

    I aspirated this very thing which had become infected (hot) today. She is resting now in my bathtub. I will do another epsum/apple cider vinegar soak tomorrow (did one before I poked her). All that come out was a stream of blood. I didn’t think I hit a vein and I barely went into the skin. At...

I also have galvanized troughs to plant greens for them but will...

    Excellent and straightforward. This is not only good for new chicken keepers but a great review for us old ones as well. My girls are getting on in years and I haven’t had babies in awhile. Good piece to file for reference. Thank you!

    Review by 'GretaGarbo' in article 'Cleaning and storing fresh eggs'

    I feel like this article is incomplete in explaining WHY you should or shouldn’t refrigerate/wash eggs. No one has mentioned the antimicrobial ‘bloom’ that covers the egg and is WHY they CAN go without refrigeration. I researched this many years ago when I first began keeping chickens and my...
