    Chicken dogpile

    Had to laugh when I walked in the coop today and saw this. 9 nesting boxes to choose from, but they all want this one. I couldn't even tell how many total birds there were in there. There were a few buried at the bottom of the pile. The top ones were actually laying their eggs on the backs...

    Which chicks are which?

    The one that is really stumping me is the Blue Andalusion. I looked up a few pictures of them online, and none of my chicks seem to look like the andalusions I have seen. #3 is probably the closest as it is the only one that has some blue in it, but it still looks a lot different then the...

    Which chicks are which?

    I just got 10 chicks from the hatchery last week and was wondering which were which. These are the chicks that were ordered and the number of chicks. Which chicks correspond with which numbered chick above. I know # 4 & 9 are the Marans, but I am not sure on the others. Blue laced red...

    Good science project?

    My 14 year old son is in FFA this year and they need to come up with an agricultural science project. He had the idea of putting about 10 or 11 eggs in the incubator, and letting them go. He planned to take an egg out every couple days, mark how many days it was and then put it in the...

    That was easier than I thought it would be.

    Just attempted my first incubation and had 100% 5 for 5 hatch. I recently bought a hova-bater with egg turner. I have some hatching eggs of various breeds that should be arriving in the next couple weeks. I decided to try a test run with some eggs from my coop, to make sure the temps and...

    White Raccoon

    I checked my trail camera recently and was surprised to see this guy. (My camera reset itself for some reason, and the date is wrong). I've seen and trapped a lot of raccoons before, but never one this color.

    so my rooster drew blood today

    Here is the best way I have found to manage an aggressive rooster. A 4 hour timeout in the smoker. I have never had one attack again.

    Delicious mean rooster

    Quote: It is partially due to the rub, and also the smoking. The entire bird was covered in a mix of spices. The smoke also tends to darken the outside, forming a "crust". Once the skin was peeled back, the meat was very tender and juicy, with a nice smokey flavor. The same thing happened...

    Delicious mean rooster

    It was new. I just happened to get it the day my son was attacked. I bought it to try and smoke some salmon we got from an Alaskan fishing trip. The UPS man dropped it off about 10 minutes before the rooster problem. So after a 410 shell to the head, I got it plucked and cleaned, and was...

    Delicious mean rooster

    Had a rooster that attacked my 3 year old. He found himself in the smoker the next day. 4 hour smoke with pecan wood made him extra tasty.

    rooster attack!!!

    Here is the rooster that attacked my little boy. He earned a 4 hour "time out" in the smoker. One bite and the kids seemed to instantly get over the "emotional trauma" caused by his early demise. They actually have asked me lately: "when can we butcher the other roosters and smoke them?"
