    Has anyone here grown wheatgrass for their flocks to use to supplement their winter feed. It's supposed to help with egg laying and I was wondering if it was worth the bother. Anyone else's experince?

    eye problemh

    I have a few young pullets that each have one eye swollen shut. When dh forced the lid open, he found this white thing covering the eyeball. He worked it out and it's gross. It's semi hard and it's over the eye. Has anyone else ever seen or heard of this. We washed the eyes out with a weak...

    Ice Tea - Sweet or Unsweet?

    Sweet, buy I'm from below the Mason/Dixon line. And you don't add sugar when it's cold. That doesn't cut it. You have to add the sugar when the base is hot. Then add cold water and stick the pitcher in the fridge. Around here, we all need an IV line from the tea pitcher to our arms, It sure...

    Eastern Panhandle WV (MD, VA, PA) Chickenstock -July10th Gower's Feed

    We have to go through Moorefield every time we go to our farm located outside of Petersburg. Last year, the parade messed up my lunch as I was planning to eat at O'Neils in Moorefield before we went to the farm. It was my birthday and dh was taking me out. But they had just closed O'Neils so the...

    Randy, thank you very much for the offer but I am fine with my hen and the free rooster you gave me. It's a non issue with me. The rooster has feathering so when they hatch eggs, I will see how many I get with feathers and how many without. But since they are only for my pleasure, I am...
