    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Tina had a chicken that hatched a duck egg. Her baby died 3 days ago and the chicken went after a duck with 3 babies, thinking they were also hers. She is not having alot of luck this year with baby chicks and ducks. She is losing about half of them and not sure why

    I had to get rid of Flash & Zombie. Some goof nut who works at an egg farm decided to bring home 3 roos and his trailer is across the street from the Park owner.

    I did forget to mention another favorite treat for my girls is when I cut a pumpkin or butternut squash in half and let them peck away. Todays treats consist of broken egg shells, fresh cut pineapple chunks, a couple stalks of fresh asparagus, chopped up hard boiled egg and some Cilantro.

    To wash or not to wash eggs?

    I also don't wash my eggs because they will stay fresher longer. I notice as I get older (almost 62) I don't use as many eggs and it is nice to be able to no waste eggs because they were washed or OMG store bought. I only have 2 chickens left (Flash, an easter egger, and Zombie Chick, an...

    How do I clean a coop after opossum is gone and How do you deal with a Traumatized Chicken?

    I know this was posted a long time ago, things happen and I had to deal with stuff other than being on internet. I did get 6 friends for Pixie but she would have not to do with them. I tried for a whole summer. I gave up and just kept her separated from them but she was still able to wander...
