    Naked Butts...

    They've been missing butt feathers for months now. I'm pretty sure I've got a feather eater on my hands, but I haven't found the culprit. I've put pinless peepers on who I thought was doing the plucking and supplemented their food with protein. It's not working... I suppose they are bound to...

    No Kids Just Chickens

    I wanted a farm, we compromised on an acre. I wanted a "farm" dog, we compromised on chickens. I wanted 10 chickens, we compromised on 5. I wanted to buy an expensive coop, we compromised and built it ourselves. The chicks arrived at the Farmer's Co-op February 29, 2012 - they are...
