    Tea tree oil is amazing, thanks for the site. The mama and puppy are amazingly cute. Congrats at the new additions to the family. I am just getting ready to head to work, Kansas State Fair concert tickets go on sale today and I work seasonally in the ticket office. I get excited about working...

    Wow, I got a couple days behind and finally got time to catch up. I was skimming so I may have missed someone suggesting this, but has anyone tried tea tree oil for the ticks? I love to try different natural things like that and I have found it works well for mosquitoes and whatever else around...

    Everyone is so busy! I should be ashamed of how lazy I have been. I love the idea of honeysuckle for shade, I have TONS of the stuff growing on the tree line. Does anyone know how hard it is to replant? Danz is right about trying to keep it a little bit away from the house, mine is wild and...

    Hawkeye, I already took what we had rigged together down, as it was basically just creating a mud hole from all the leaking. I think the problem was that it needs to be more stable and when the chickens try to stand on the cups they lean forward and just poor the water out. I will be sure to put...

    Hi all! I have been trying to keep up, but with finals things here have been insane. I love reading about all the hatches going on!! Way cool. I am so far behind I don't think I can make all the comments I would like to. Welcome to the new ones!! I have been keeping pretty busy around here, my...

    I guess that might mean I have a female then, I do not have any recent pictures but there is no coloring to the comb yet. It was one of the freebie chicks from McMurray hatchery so I assumed it would be a male since most freebies are. That would be a nice surprise for it to be a girl.

    Hawkeye: Don't feel too bad about missing the show here in Hutch, I went this morning and MANY of the entries were from Oklahoma and did not make it because of the weather they had yesterday. It was my first time to go see a show, so I was still impressed, but my grandfather and many of the...

    I can't tell sex either, I'm a newbie to chickens so I will have to wait and see also. I figure it will either crow or lay an egg eventually, right?

    It looks almost identical to my Silver Sebright. Mine is 7 weeks now and I am still unsure of sex, so I can not help you there. Mine started out light in color. This was mine at about 3-4 weeks old. The feathers got more white, and the legs got darker as it got older. It is my smallest...

    I have gotten so far behind I doubt I will ever really catch up!! My chicks are getting so big now, they're actually looking and acting like chickens. I think I am able to tell the boys from the girls now, at least on the partridges. 4 suspected boys and 8 suspected girls. On the random ones we...

    I hear you on that Danz, we're gonna have to go with a regular old chain link fence. Those white ones that come in panels are so nice, but the cost almost made me faint and I don't have near as much to fence as you. I guess I will just be happy if it keeps kids, dog, and chickens in...

    I'm also putting up a fence Danz, although we will be doing ours ourselves. I have been wishing for one for years so I'm glad it's finally going to be a reality. Rvroman, I'd love to go back to farm living someday. I grew up country and my husband grew up city so I'm kind of stuck in the...

    I had kind of decided to skip the garden this year and just put a few of our favorite things in the flowerbeds this year, but all this talk is making me reconsider... hmm. Maybe if things dry up I will get on that. Last years lack of rain was killer on anything I tried to grow, so as soon as the...
