    Rooster died from a respiratory illness, are the eggs he fertilized safe to eat?

    Our rooster died last night from a respiratory illness, unsure which illness he actually had. He was on antibiotics and separated from the flock.. There are no indications that any of our hens are ill. This is the first time we've lost a rooster so wanted to ask if anyone can refer me...

    Catch 22 Composting

    Most of our property is pasture so my question is... when we mow, we're getting about 25% grass and 75% weeds in the mix. I'm worried that putting that mix into the compost will eventually cause weeds to grow in our gardens. Or, do the weed seeds die in the compost? If so, any idea how long...

    Feed sack recycling ideas??

    I cut them open lengthwise and then lay them out in our garden as a weed barrier, holding them in place with large garden staples. You can reuse them year after year.

    Chickenmama109, what is the address of the store where you saw this happening?

    Saw a horrible thing at tractor supple.

    Yes, they should. This is why I'd like to know which store it was. They are all over the country and clearly each store needs some training on handling chicks.

    What Tractor supply store was this (address)? This is actually inhumane treatment. Thank you for letting everyone know what you saw!
