    Necropsy Pic - What do YOU see?

    We culled our first and most beloved hen, "Goldie", today. After performing the emotionally difficult task (a first for us), we also performed a very rudimentary necropsy (another first for us)...and are hoping to learn something from Goldie's death. Anyway, this is what we found inside of...

    Heating a plastic bucket nipple waterer ?

    I'm totally jealous of the great many success stories in this thread regarding winterized bucket/watering nipple systems. I have not been as fortunate... I am currently using a 3.5 gallon hen hydrator with 4 nipples: In it I have a 250 watt de-icer: ...and while the de-icer keeps the...

    Baby Chick - Deformed Feet ???

    Never mind. I just did some research and see that it is normal for the Salmon Favorolle breed to have extra toes. Sorry. This is my first...I'm still learning.

    Farm living is the life for me as well. So yeah, I'm entirely jealous of you. I've been obsessively looking at houses with 10+ acres online, but there's no way we're moving any time soon. Our almost 10 year old daughter has been really wanting a goat, our almost 8 year old son would like a...

    Per North Olmsted city ordinance residents living on less than 1 acre of land may have up to 10 hens, but no roosters - yay urban farming! So far we have 1 bee hive and our limit of 10 hens...and we're itching to grow. Ha!
