    What did you do in the garden today?

    You bet! I planted Sugar Baby watermelons and STILL don't know if they came up or not. In my frustration, I fear that I've done something unforgivable... I planted some cantaloupes in their place! At least THEY have come up now. Or.... now, maybe it's the watermelons???

    California Mountain Chicks flock, garden and more!

    So nice to meet another chicken lover. I only have 7 laying hens, and four Americana babies. From oldest to youngest, their names are: Sweetie, Sugar, Joy, Danielle, Ruby, Bubbles, Peanut, Zoe, Thelma, Flowers and Buttercup. Love.

    Hey, Will Raccoons Eat My Chickens?

    Wow. I might re-think the latches. I might try to find out which latches they could not open. Thank you.

    Hey, Will Raccoons Eat My Chickens?

    It's a pen and within it is a coop that's all hardware cloth and more. They go in there every night with their little night light and it's very secure.

    Comment by 'kbroom' in item 'Barred Rock'

    My Rock Barred hen, Sweetie MUST know about everything that goes on around here! She is SO inquisitive that she positions herself wherever the action is happening. Here she is, skulking around a corner at me, and then trying to figure out how to operate a motor vehicle. She also loves showing...

    Leave it to the French. They probably prefer sophisticated dry, white wine, being French chickens. We appreciate everybody's humor!:D:wee

    We've found that they are also not opposed to having a sip of beer occasionally. Of course, our chickens are Texans! They don't have the developed pallet of the French chickens! They don't really bother with the bread cubes. They seem to prefer it straight!

    For me, they ALL taste and look good. I really don't see any difference in them internally. The deep yellow is nutritious and healthy. That's all I know.:)

    Wow. Never heard of that. Sounds like it would work. These creatures certainly wouldn't want to run into a bob cat! Good point!

    Dog Chasing Chickens

    Certain dogs with excitable temperaments won't respond to this, like my Schnauzer puppy, Chewy (I've tried). Have you tried an electronic collar? I finally had to simply go to a muzzle. I'm currently using a plastic muzzle that seems to be more comfortable for her. Of course, when she's inside...
