    My name is Jess. I have "hated" birds for most of my life and by "hated," I mean "feared." I got jumped by a flock of sea gulls over a measley PB&J sandwich when I was small and never felt quite the same way about birds after that. Last year was a pivotal year for me and a time to take stock in...

    Quote: My husband and daughter use them in yogurt smoothies for breakfast and in my opinion, you can't beat a good ole blackberry cobbler. I lay mine out on a flat baking sheet to freeze and then transfer the frozen berries into zip lock bags. That way they don't stick together and you can...

    Ok, I am knew at this so this may be an ignorant question. Can a chicken lay more than one egg a day? The reason I ask is because I thought that I had 3 EE hens but two were killed night before last by a racoon, I think. However, today I got two blue eggs. Is it possible that the remaining hen...

    ...could return back to the coop. When we built the coop for the chickens, the platform and funnel were removed and the hole patched over. Apparently the patch was torn loose and the racoon accessed the coop through the hole. Will have DH repair the hole X10 and then trap the *%#*@ racoon as well!

    Ok guys, I am totally bummed:hit Some type of predator got into my chicken coop last night. Because of my broken leg and the distance to the coop I cannot make it out there. My daughter and husband have been taking care of them lately. Drew was at work so the datails are still pretty sketchy...

    Quote: At the Blanchard auction a group of us sit at a table in back. At the Fletcher auction, we tend to be less congregated, but there are still some of us wearing the shirts with roosters. Look for t-shirts with a big rooster profile on the front. Not everyone wears them, but you know...

    Gastric bypass / Lap band...has anyone had it done?**update post 106**

    My little sister had a gastric bypass surgery about 4 years ago. She had struggled with her weight since childhood as had my dad and his mother. They all suffered with type-2 diabetes. My sister's inability to control her blood sugar and sleep apnia (sp?) that was so bad that she would actually...

    Quote: I would look for OKCarla at the BYC Okie table. She has some excellent stock. When you guys go auctioning, do you all normally sit together at a table? I need to know what to look for next time. I can't wait!

    Quote: Welcome Jess! You have a very handsome Cuckoo rooster! I don't think that Cuckoo's are less popular, many people only have cuckoo's and that is all they breed. I personally don't breed them because I am not a fan of barred birds unless they are blue. I have seen some stunning cuckoo...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Newbie question here. My sister gave me two chicks that she bought from the Atwood's straight run bin. A wonderful person on this forum helped me identify them as Cuckoo Marans. Since then I have been nosing around this thread a bit and I have a question. Most of the pics posted on this thread...
