    What kind of knife?

    I like this one for killing......... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000638D32?tag=hotdealsorg-20 It has a decent length and feels good in the hand. I have a couple of these for eviscerating. The smaller blade makes it easier to handle the more delicate parts of cleaning...

    ordered meaties..... HELP

    You are going to need something closer to 9 X 12 for 50 birds. As the previous poster suggested, I would call the hatchery and postpone at least until the first batch are six weeks old. They will be in the brooder for a couple of weeks and won't need to share housing. You will also have to...

    Posting in "text"

    My point exactly. An occasional lol is tolerable, but when you have to sit and decipher what the poster is trying to say it gets a little annoying. I have a secretary at my work that sends emails in "text" format. Not only is it unprofessional, it seems childish. What I truly don't get is...

    how to keep my dog from eating my chickens

    It really comes down to good basic obedience training. I have a chocolate Lab that has been trained for upland bird hunting. She points, holds, retrieves, takes hand signals and voice commands. I hunt over her with a shock collar, but rarely use it. It is there in the rare instance she short...
