    EARTH DAY - What are you doing to better the environment?

    Good thread...I've been wanting to start doing more myself, so this is a great way to get new ideas! Like many- I compost, we do the light bulb thing, I garden, no pesticides or chemicals on garden or lawn, recycle cans, mulch around my trees with grass clippings in Spring, Summer, & Fall. In...

    Ok, I am new and my husband thinks I am crazy!

    I have to giggle b/c my hubby fails to understand how chickens can be so enticing & aside from joshing me about them or for always gawking at this website- he really is supportive. Hasn't complained yet that we started with 13 chicks & have since grown to a flock of 30+......hmmm, wonder how...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    When I got into chickens this past Fall & was new to this board, at that time I had 3 children (4yrs, 3yrs, & 1yr), we had just acquired 3 baby kittens, 1 Dlamatian puupy & 13 baby chicks. So "Momma Hen" just seemed fitting.

    Well I made the switch.

    It will be nice keeping up with one board -vs- two. I'm still trying to get into the habit of using this board instead of the other. Welcome over!

    What is best laying hens

    I can vouch for the Barred Rocks, Leghorns, Bf Orps & Reds. I just added Blk Australorps to my flock this Spring, so I can't wait to see how they lay in comparision to the others. I also have Dominiques & they've been awesome layers too. Don't have any Sexlinks but I hear they're great. Good...

    carpal tunnel

    Has anyone had surgery for carpal tunnel that can offer some feedback?....Like did it fix the problem, was it painful, what was the recovery time, any paralysis afterwards, etc. I've been battling this for 6yrs now.

    chick stumbling around on curled toes

    She was in a brooder w/chick starter only. No other foodsource. I made the shoes but there was no change when I took them off this morning, just to "check". She seemed worse so I culled her in case it was something else. The rest of my biddies seem fine though. Hope they stay that way.

    Anconas

    I've posted this on the other board awhile back but thought I'd see if I could get more replies on this one. Who raises them, what's been your experience? I'd love to see pics if you have them.
