We are looking for 2-3 started pullets/hens to replenish our aging flock. We're open to any full-sized breed as long as they are good layers. Location is west of Phoenix. Thanks- Stynch

My Roo attacked me!!!
My sister was attacked by her roo, and after a $150 trip to the emergency room for stitches, antibiotics, and a tetanus shot, she sent him to crock pot camp! Seriously, the first time he attacked her, she brushed it off. The next time, he caused a nasty injury. I would not tolerate a roo that...- Stynch

Happy New Year to everyone! Who will stay up until midnight and who won't? We usually manage to stay up until 10:00, so we can watch the ball drop on the east coast!- Stynch

To use ACV or not. That is the question......
Our chickens love ACV. One of their favorite treats is "ACV Soup" - I take the fines from the bottom of the crumbles bag and mix them with water and a little ACV. I can't swear that it's doing any good, but it's not doing any harm! And they go crazy when they see me coming with the soup bowl...- Stynch

We have a frittata for dinner whenever we get ahead on our egg supply, probably once a week. It's a nice way to use up leftover veggies, too!- Stynch

No, the little birds fit through the openings. Not ideal, but at least it keeps the hawks and vultures out!- Stynch

It's camo netting, which gives about 50% coverage - enough to hide the girls from overhead view but not enough to interfere with good air flow.- Stynch

My chickens lay eggs ranging from medium to jumbo, so baking can be a bit of a challenge! Rather than have to calculate or guestimate every time I bake, I take a dozen eggs and beat them, then figure 1.75 oz per large egg. It really makes baking alot easier since I started doing this!- Stynch

Your set-up looks nice. To protect from aerial predators, we used camo cloth - not only does it hide the chickens from the predators, it also gives them some shade.- Stynch

We are much the same with our Christmas goings-on, too. We all get together for dinner at the home of one of the kids where we do a White Elephant gift exchange. My DH and I do stockings for each other and then get something for "us" which can range anywhere from a new blu-ray player (last...- Stynch

Our RSL laid some huge eggs occassionally, but mostly, she laid 20-30 gram fairy eggs. After 2 months of erratic laying, she keeled over yesterday. No clue what happened. She was fine, squatting, begging for treats, eating, drinking and an hour later, she was dead - looks like she just...- Stynch

Happy Thanksgiving! Be thankful for all you have!
I am thankful for my husband, our 3 kids & their spouses, all the grandchildren, (moderately!) good health all the way around, good friends, stable jobs, and the 22# turkey sitting in the brine before it gets prepped to go in the oven!!- Stynch
