    My name is Jess. I have "hated" birds for most of my life and by "hated," I mean "feared." I got jumped by a flock of sea gulls over a measley PB&J sandwich when I was small and never felt quite the same way about birds after that. Last year was a pivotal year for me and a time to take stock in...

    Quote: My husband and daughter use them in yogurt smoothies for breakfast and in my opinion, you can't beat a good ole blackberry cobbler. I lay mine out on a flat baking sheet to freeze and then transfer the frozen berries into zip lock bags. That way they don't stick together and you can...

    Ok, I am knew at this so this may be an ignorant question. Can a chicken lay more than one egg a day? The reason I ask is because I thought that I had 3 EE hens but two were killed night before last by a racoon, I think. However, today I got two blue eggs. Is it possible that the remaining hen...

    I was thinking the same thing. I also think my daughter found where it gained access. Our current coop is a reincarnation of a homemade kids club house that was reincarnated into a pigeon coop. My husband had a platform and thing that looked like a wire funnel fitted into one of the walls of the...

    Ok guys, I am totally bummed:hit Some type of predator got into my chicken coop last night. Because of my broken leg and the distance to the coop I cannot make it out there. My daughter and husband have been taking care of them lately. Drew was at work so the datails are still pretty sketchy...

    Quote: At the Blanchard auction a group of us sit at a table in back. At the Fletcher auction, we tend to be less congregated, but there are still some of us wearing the shirts with roosters. Look for t-shirts with a big rooster profile on the front. Not everyone wears them, but you know...

    Gastric bypass / Lap band...has anyone had it done?**update post 106**

    My little sister had a gastric bypass surgery about 4 years ago. She had struggled with her weight since childhood as had my dad and his mother. They all suffered with type-2 diabetes. My sister's inability to control her blood sugar and sleep apnia (sp?) that was so bad that she would actually...

    Quote: I would look for OKCarla at the BYC Okie table. She has some excellent stock. When you guys go auctioning, do you all normally sit together at a table? I need to know what to look for next time. I can't wait!
