    Predators and the Moral Dilemma

    Better to have the deterrant and means of protection. Take it from me, I still haven't purchased my gun so I have had the joy of hauling dogs off my property to the nearby rescue. I live way out in the middle of no-wheres. People drive out from the city to dump their unwanted dogs in the desert...

    Crow as a Chicken Predator?

    You know what though.... it makes sense. Crows are opportunists aren't they? I've seen so many crows circle low when my hens have been out free ranging. I always stand out with my hens since we have so many hawks and eagles out here... I'll not be looking at them the same way again... It's...

    My son ate his FIRST "homegrown" egg today!

    I'm trying to get my older adult brother to eat his first homegrown scrambled eggs! It is funny how nervous he is to try it... Don't you just love how much more rich the flavor is from homegrown eggs??? I had my first one the other day and couldn't believe the difference!!

    I didn't think a little egg would be so heavy!

    Oh wow, now I can't wait to check it in the morning! Also can't wait to see if there will be any more eggs tomorrow... I hope this wasn't a one time thing where the hen decides to go back to free loading with the others. My household goes through a -ton- of eggs, especially when I get to bread...

    Speed = (Distance/Time) * Flapping Velocity?

    Lol, I just love watching them run so much, their overly fluffy big butts look so funny in the waddle/run Mine are still young and (in my opinion not fat enough lol) so they can manage to get airborne enough to fly over tumble weeds They can also fly/jump straight up to perch on the top of the...

    I didn't think a little egg would be so heavy!

    One of my hens laid her first egg today, this was also my first time harvesting an egg! So I took it to the refridgerator feeling like a giddy school girl.. I had a very strong feeling my hen was going to lay an egg, she demanded to be let back into the coop, after flying up and perching on the...

    New photos of Roo! Thinking there is only one..

    They have all been growing rather fast here lately, it might be all the treats of raisins and cabbage. Here is one of the other ones I wasn't sure about... I'm not sure if it is a boy or girl.. Most of the other hens still haven't had any red come into their combs..

    Something Cute: Chicken hatches kittens?

    I wasn't sure exactly where or if it's okay to share this... but sometimes cute clips on youtube are fun. Has anyone had experience with their hens sitting on kittens? it's just stinkin cute xD

    Lovely hens!! So yours are 5 weeks, I also think it is a girl... (though I have a lot to learn still) Can't wait to see how they grow! Just love barred chickens

    Barred Plymouth Rocker (boy?)

    The roos also look different just at the corners of the mouth too, right? I'll keep looking back and forth now between this one and the others for comparison now
