    Quote: I think a lot of hunters stayed home for the season last year because we have more in my area than I remember in years past and they are staying closer to town. We're not just seeing them by the corn fields and the woods, they are between the grocery store and the auto repair shop at...

    Sold some hens and got a call...

    Today I got a call from the lady I sold some hens to that had me laughing. In normal chicken owner fashion the first thing she wanted to talk about was that three was not enough, she "needs" three more. She paid a good price so I didn't want to argue but I remembered she had a small coop. Guess...

    Who Do You Hire To Build a Run?

    Quote: I don't have a husband or a brother. I'm disabled, so I can't do it myself, I wish I could! I've tried doing business with the neighbors and they proved to be totally unreliable and half-assed so that is not an option. I'm sick of waiting around for a friend to get around to helping me...

    Who Do You Hire To Build a Run?

    In my area if I wanted something like that done I would go asking around at my local (not big box) hardware store or my local feed mill for a reccomendation.

    I'm stuck.

    I happen to think building a bator is an excellent project because it involves electricity, science, working with tools and more. It would be a great project for right now. Hatching eggs could be a great project for another time after you and mom have talked about and agreed upon what to do with...

    Ants

    Having the birds eat bugs is one of the best benefits of free ranging. Total win/win. More protein for them less pests for you. Remember that chickens are omnivores...they are designed to eat both plant and animal.

    Friends..........Not many anymore....Homeschoolers/sorta rambling

    It depends on the interests of your kids. For boys cub scouts starts at age 6 and can be a great "organized activity" that sometimes extends over to casual relationships. If you google boy scouts of America there will be a link to find your local group. At a recent training I went to it was...

    Hi, everyone. It looks like chicken stock was great and I hope to make it next year but I was at cub scout camp with the kids this weekend and had a blast there, so life is good. I'm on my way to court for my chickens this afternoon. Just a pre-trial today. Gotta tell them who my witnesses are...

    Psychotic PIG!!!!!

    We had one that was psycho too. It seemed to want to get out because it enjoyed having us chase it. We take good care of ours and rotate them through 4 different 60x80 areas changing every 3wks so that they always have something to dig up...we plant potatoes for them...bring them accorns...buy...

    How old are they and can you take pics? Possibly someone could offer a few suggestions to help if they saw your set-up.

    my hen is in jail!!!

    It's kind of like when someone needs stitches....you know what has to be done but looking is a bad idea. Just try to ignore it for a few days.

    Life lessons...

    If it makes you feel any better I've been through this with my husband. The thing that made it really bad was that I had told him specifically what bank to use, and that the picture on the card matched the picture on the bank's sign. Fifty years old and doesn't know the physical location of the...

    Wow, I really feel like an idiot.

    My dryer is dying but the washer is only 9 yrs old and works well. DH says this time we should just replace both at the same time and get a set. I told him there was no reason to replace washer...we still have the blue plastic cover on it. The washer is going over to the rental house...do you...

    Discomfort from working out

    Quote: Absolutely. It has to do with the sodium/potassium proportions in the muscle tissue. Talk to a pharmacist or doc to get a recomendation for a quality supplement. It's going to be hard to stick with an exercise program if it hurts all the time.

    Soft-shelled mis-formed eggs

    Don't give them iron. There are two potential reasons for this. First is nutrition. Basic laying mash/crumbles/pellets with oyster shell should take care of their nutritional needs. The extra stuff is great for variety but not needed for good eggs. The second is the metabolism of the individual...

    visit by police & told to get rid of chickens

    Someone mentioned stirring the pot...I wouldn't look at it like that at all. In good faith you contacted a person who is a bona fide representative of your community with a specific question and were given a specific answer. Based on that answer you invested time and money. Now you are being...

    visit by police & told to get rid of chickens

    Start by visiting the village council representative who said it was o'kay and ask them to put it in writing that you were told in the past that it was o'kay. With that person's continued support you might have a hope.
