    Who here is NOT on FB?

    Nope. Have a real life. No FB here.... I BARELY have time to come here twice a month for what I consider a REAL resource. Relax....you are in good company. If it makes you feel any better, I burned my TV three years ago, too. Amazing what you can do in the REAL WORLD when you aren't escaping...

    EE, Ameracuana, Araucana...huh?

    I love my EE's and all six give me different shades of eggs. I have a PURE WHITE hen that lays a true BLUE egg, like you describe, though the other five look like your sweet girl and they lay shades of green (one olive!). Two of my six hens look almost identical to your photo and I have named...

    Cock Feather Thieves at Fairs - Gain from our experience

    Been sellling MY Dominique and EE roo hackle and saddle feathers to the local salon. Before you get your HACKLES up (ha!) , I am VERY GENTLE WITH THEM, and they appear to hardly notice.

    Coons -- big discussion in the family

    Seriously. They ARE BETTER eating if you can CATCH THEM, feed them on grits and gravy for about ten days to clean their systems, and THEN whack 'em. Mmmmmmmmmm!

    Coons -- big discussion in the family

    Tiny little creepy crawlies

    'Tis mite season! SEVIN dust in their designated dust bathing area may do it for the birds proper, but not until you clean the coop. But to be sure, gloved and masked, dust them down yourself---attention to the hidey spots under the wings and near the vent. This first application will give the...

    leaving eggs in coop, how long is safe?

    Yeah...just don't let anyone who is used to eating factory eggs hear you make the "crack" about leaving them on the counter! I offered my GORGEOUS green eggs to someone the other day and she TURNED HER NOSE UP AT THEM and had the nerve to ask if mine had blood all streaked through them. I soad...

    I spent all this time slaving away in the kitchen and you won't eat?!

    ***GAG*** Would you eat that goop? LOL! (I mean, if you could, Celiac notwithstanding.) But seriously, remember---chickens don't "swallow"in the truest sense, so **goopy** isn't a real popular texture in the Henhouse Cafe---unless its mixed as suggested above---with some texture they can...
