    Chicken Babysitter?

    After working from a home office for six years, I'm in the process of accepting a new job. I know my kids are well-situated and will be fine, and because of our very isolated location I'm looking forward to the social aspects of office life. What I'm most worried about is how my backyard flock...

    Bulk flax seed?

    I saw it at Costco last night. I didn't check the price, sorry, but coming from Costco it was likely reasonable. Trader Joe's carries it too. I've purchased it before from Trader Joe's and did not think the price (which I now can't remember) was horrifically unreasonable...

    How do you know your DH loves you?!?!

    Mine "gets" me, gives me space to be me, and tells me I'm beautiful whether I have makeup on or not (and seems to really mean it.) Being with him is the closest thing to being at peace that I've ever known, and we've been together more than 10 years. I think we'll make a great retired couple...

    My foster DD's been granted a wish from Make-a-Wish...I'm clueless...

    I do have to say that there's something wonderful (and not just sad) about a kid who isn't spoiled or jaded. I do realize that this precious child probably has unfortunate reasons for not knowing how to "dream big," but there's still something very genuine and worthwhile in simplicity. I...

    Now up to 10 ring neck pheasant eggs!!

    Thank you for answering my questions, Harley's girl! I'm going to talk to my husband about it when he gets home tonight. You have beautiful birds! It's funny how, despite having almost limitless space, having all the pets we want isn't so easy. I'd also like to get some goats, but I know that...

    Now up to 10 ring neck pheasant eggs!!

    Hello, I might be interested in these for my husband, as he has developed a keen interest in keeping pheasants as pets. I'm a few steps behind on my research, though, and haven't had an opportunity to figure out what we'd need to build pen wise to accomodate them. Can you tell me a little bit...

    Showing chickens

    I'd love to get some feedback on this too. I've been to two big shows & observed the birds in their cages that were being shown, but I left both times with no conceptual idea of what showing actually entails. Does the bird owner ever come in contact with judges or do the judges simply walk...

    So i went into TSC with my three kids and came out with...

    Hi Connie, You have to fix your sig since you're now officially an owner! I've been eyeing TSC posts because I came home with 4 bantams that I'm trying to identify as well, and I thought it would be helpful to know what breeds TSC typically gets in, since the employees there seem pretty...

    Can chickens live with rabbits?

    We have 2 Lionhead rabbits that sleep in a separate coop at night, but during the day I typically let them out to play in the same area that my buff Silkies free range. It's a space of approximately 30' X 30x & is nicely shaded. Had you considerd sectioning off a portion of your yard to give...

    what breed do you own??

    Just the thread to feed my procrastination state: We have a big group of buff silkies, who reside in their own little piece of free range heaven & get locked up safely each night. They're probably my favs. A big walk in coop & connected run filled with primarily hatchery stock: - a RIR, a...
