    What are you canning now?

    Last year I had many, many peppers this year a handful. You never know. I'm about to move and will have to think about a new garden. Someone built a raised bed but I'm sure that it is too shady because it's between two huge pecan trees.

    Six months hens haven't laid yet! Plz help!

    My Red Productions and Cochin mix did not start laying until around 8 months. One good thing about not starting out so young is supposed to be a longer laying life. Those high production egg layers burn out fast and many start having problems like being egg bound. A couple of mine were...

    @NanaKat do you add vinegar to up the acid percentage?

    Those little fuzzy butts sure are fun. I only have two but that's two more than I had. We are going to have to move soon. I sure hope I don't have to give them up.

    Brahma eggs being greenish???

    Those dang roosters! I need to get rid of one. My poor little girls backs are pretty much bald. He really, really loves his girls a lot! I would butcher them but it's been so hot and I have to get up so early to do it.

    Rooster Flocks!

    I had 12 black sex link cockerels and they were mean as all get out. They kept my poor little pullets running all the time. They were pretty good eating but small. If I was going to raise another flock of boys I'd make it Cornish Crosses.

    Your welcome. My grands love my chickens even the one that was scratched. Of course he's a boy and not scared of nothing.

    Howdy Lunalala. My suggestion for making chickens safe for children is to not get them use to being handled. My roosters that were hand raised and petted turned into the meanest critters attacking everyone. I go chase my roosters around waving my arms so they stay a friendly distance away and on...

    Look what I found today. Five little babies running between Mamas and one still in the nest resting from the tough job of hatching out.
