Here are some pics of our little barn. DH built this with scrap wood from work! It only took 3 days to put up. Keep in mind that if you are going to milk you will will need a spot in the barn that is easy to keep clean. From the Front From the Back From Inside of Door (Stall is on the...

Someone please help me...I'm obviously not getting how to create a page. I click on the MY PAGE, then I click the ADD A PAGE. All I get is a big grey box with a little bar running down the middle. It won't let me do anything in it.

thank you for the information. I guess it is possable then that our chickens just molt a little at a time. At least we know we didn't do anything that may have interfered with it.

About a month ago we noticed that our Dominiques seemed to have quite a few feathers blowing around the run and we went from getting 4 eggs a day to 1. So we thought they were going to start molting. Well over the past few days there aren't as many feathers laying around and we are back to 4...

We've had success with WD-40. Usually it takes both of us to do it. But one I did it by myself and I waited till they were just getting srttled on the roosti and just got down and sprayed their legs while they were on the roost. Talking to them does help. They also will get used to you more...

Goats are social animals and do not do well alone. We have 2 bevause the first one was so lonley and cried if no one was with her. I would get another one to keep him company. The goatweb coffeeshop is a great sourse of info.

We live just outside of Pittsburgh and it doesn't matter how bad the weather gets here life just goes on. Last week we got a memo at work that petty much said the only way we won't be required to show would be in the case of nuclear attack!! In 1993 we had a bad blizzard that kept most people...

How far up the front is it? I would say that if it was just in front of the vent area (more underneath) then I would leave it be. It could very well be from hatching.

Please do not involve the school. I went thru this with my son when he was in the 6th grade. The kids at school know that those who see the councelor regularly have "ISSUES". The school may try to pressure you into giving a reason for his absence but we found out afterward that they only need...

I have been using this goat forum for info. http://www.goatweb.com/coffeeshop/ We resently purchased a darling little 13 wk old Toggenburg doe. She is so sweet. We call her Lady. ( I tried resizing the pic in photo bucket but it doesn't seem to be working )

OK I got the photobucket! So I'm going to try to post a pic.

We have Dominiques and the eggs are as you described. Kind of a rosey tan with a few speckels and some texture. I wish I could throw a pic on here for you but right now I don't want to pay for a photo account. Yeah the chicks have me pegged already...CHEAP!! CHEAP!! LOL

What a beautiful pic. It just captures how you view and value your chickens.

Quote: No. We only got the 8 we ordered. Still trying to figure out which are hens and whick are roos.

rosyposyosy thank you for the tips. I hope I did it right and they show in this post. jessied1227 Thank you, I just love how soft and fuzzy they are. They are Dominiques. But I have no idea which are hens and which are roos...
