I just want you all to know how much I really miss you all. I'm currently in AZ, (long story)... I haven't seen any of you for nearly 2 yrs now and...

    Yeah... then we can take the time to plan something big :-) and it doesn't get that hot here, there is shade, and lots of room to do whatever we want without anyone around to care. :-) a bbq would be fun and i bet we could plan some really cool stuff.

    Ok, so I had been thinking Sat. Feb 15th for a meetup here at my ranch but do you guys think that is too close to offgridmamas date? I don't want to compete and have people only come to one and not the other because of it only being two weeks apart. If it's better i can do one in late april to...

    Thanks for posting i am on the lookout for chicken friendly/animal friendly property with land. No time for a fixer though, actually thinking we will just rent if possible. We are keeping our house and renting it out once we move. We just need more space. We have just decided to take the step...

    Tips on care of pheasants

    The info you posted sounds like it is for ringnecks -- totally different although the heat, food and age outdoors requirements apply, the cannibalism isn't likely if they are all the same age and fed properly. I would stay away from pine shavings, I had trouble when starting out with mine eating...

If it's vitamin deficiency - a dose of liquid vitamin B complex, multi vitamins and niacin in the water and higher protein feed (gamebird or turkey) has worked quickly for me, usually within 1 to 3 days. I've had just the B complex and feed work too...
