    EE, Ameracuana, Araucana...huh?

    ...I stand or crouch in the coop for too long (30 seconds?), the white one will scratch out a nest under my feet and have a sit down. I love my creative chickens, but I don't DARE call them Ameraucanas! Not on this board, anyway. **Standing by for the pure bred elitist snark in 3........2......**

    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. I freeze the feathers in a baggie for about three days to kill ANYTHING that might crawl (though have never...

    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

    Coon is a fine meal. YouTube is gushing with rednecks dying to tell you just HOW TO DIY A COON. It is fascinating and hilarious. And you might just learn something useful. I think I went to prom with a couple of them fellas....

    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...

    My roo jumped on my 2yo Son Today

    Oh, and it is also about relative size. Roo sees an adversary in your small son. Roo sees YOU as an ALPHA, who is bigger, though he could come at you too, eventually. Some folks rid themelves of aggressive Roos. Raise one up from a chick, and I will bet you you will RARELY have that problem...

    My neighbor is complaining about my rooster :/

    Is this black australorp a rooster?

    Don't worry about crowing just yet...Their first attempts are very muffled and kinda cute. You will notice them, but I ASSURE YOU, nobody outside a five foot area would ever hear them or identify them as a full fledged **crow**.

    Rooster or Hen? Delaware chicks at 5 weeks old

    ...you have two that are beginning to look dissimilar, the big tell is the stretching up to stand tall thing you describe. That pretty much works with *most* breeds. But what do I know? At 19 (!) weeks, my "surprise chick" from McMurray, "Lacy", a Lace Winged Wyndotte, suddenly stretched...
