hey y'all!
I know I've not been active for years, but here I am with 3 cockerels hatched the week of April 23rd and I am looking to rehome them if anyone knows anyone looking for some. 2 of the three are mixed,1 BO daddy x White Leghorn mama & 1 BO x Easter Egger mama who I got from @Flowerbh a...
so cool @hysop ! I got a Meyer lemon tree last year and a lime tree. My lim tree kicked the bucket and Thought I was gonna lose the lemon tree. Just noticed last week it has several buds on it. I'm cautiously thrilled, I have the black thumb of death so it is still likely to go south. LOL
I hear that Honeysuckle is not a good idea. Problem is- it's rampant all over our property. I do the best I can not to let them get at it, but I know a few of them seem to seek it out. When I first got chickens a couple years ago, I was unaware it was bad for them. The yard that they are kept in...
If all goes well, it will be 20 hens including the tiny ones + 2 roos. James is still in his bachelor pad, but the newbies are out there with him now, just separated. I haven't been able to build him his own house so he's been living on the back porch and has become quite spoiled. Stanley & he...
I been gone a while now, but I'm hoping some folks wouldn't mind giving some advice. I took in 10 hens from my friends' dad. He's dealing with chemo and was unable to care for them as a result, too much for them and he cannot be around all the dust, etc. Leghorns, Orpingtons and 3 small Easter...
Thanks for the info! I don't plan to sell off the property but am willing to get the candling license, I just gotta find a class in my area if possible. I assume most market eggs are graded or are at least all the same size(?). My little mixed flock has small/med/large all mixed in. nfortunately...
holy crap! You know you've been gone for a reeeeaaallly long time when you log in and it's been completely overhauled! :confused:
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to ask about selling eggs. I'm trying to convince the husband that I need to take in the 10 hens that my friend's parents can no longer...
I know I've been absent for ages but.....
Oh. My. Gawwwwd. Y'all.
This woman is my spirit animal. www.drinkingwithchickens.com
Her writings and her instagram feed are hilarious. And my new favorite word for 2017 is "chitchslap". All you chicken folks probably don't need that one explained...
I decided this week after a bit of research that I will go ahead and experiment with fermenting the feed. I'm gonna just do a small mason jar of it and sort of do a tiny test batch. See how they like it. As far as the NCO, they seem to like it, but at the moment I am mixing it with their other...
That is good to know. The food allergy issue is a recent(?) development. At first I thought it was egg allergy but noticed some nasty reactions related to corn & corn byproducts. And it must have begun years ago but I just wasn't making the connection at the time. I haven't eaten our eggs in...
Hi everyone! glad to see some discussion on NCO and S&P. When we started with our chicken adventure, we began with S&P because of the organic, soy-free, non-gmo, whole grain features and benefits. Our chickens looooved it and I liked the fact that the smell was so fresh that it almost made ya...
Well, she's been back with the flock. I've been keeping watch on her, but the eye is clouded again, no swelling. It appears to me that she is likely blind in that eye, but I can't really tell. She's getting a little bullied, but I notice she's starting to stand up for herself as she starts to...
