    Last two hen or roo question

    The red one's a pullet. The black and white is throwing mixed vibes. I'm leaning hard towards cockerel, but it's hard to tell if those hackles are truly pointed or just colored that way and despite what looks like a sickle feather, I don't see any true saddle feathers, yet. They certainly don't...

    You can still give the scraps to your chickens afterwards, just try not to give them the seeds.

    Hot cereals poll🥣🍯🧀

    I love them all, especially with fresh berries or a swirl of maple syrup, but my absolute favorite is an oldie. My grandmother would make us cornmeal mush when she visited. It was a bit like modern day polenta, but had a smoother texture. I've never been able to make it quite like Gramma's ( I...

    Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

    I think we need a thread where we can post questions and projects for customizing Breyers & such. I am SO impressed with some of the custom pieces I've seen, but I haven't a clue where to start. I've always wanted to try but have been terrified I'd completely ruin the horse. I'm working on...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    Your guess is correct! My parents' cost was about $8K for converting a small stand-in shower to a walk-in tub. We did what little demo there was ourselves (that was messy, but fun!) At the last minute, they opted for a point-of-use heater, which did raise the original estimate a bit. According...

    Things you wish you could say

    I wish I could say you either pressed charges or scared the living (feces) out of the culprit and they won't be back. But maybe I can?

    Review by 'MROO' in article '13 Spooky Chicken Behaviors That Would Scare You If You Didn’t Know Better'

    A fun read! - clear text and GORGEOUS photographs! I almost dropped it down a star, though, for leaving out the scariest part of chicken-keeping - growling, broody pancakes that threaten to eat the hand that feeds them! :D

    Sheltie Appreciation Thread!!!!!!

    People don't realize that Shelties are herding dogs. They need activity and a job! This is my Granddogger, Sunflower. She's almost a year old here, back in January. I'll try to upload more current ones later. She's starting to get her ruff, now ... and she's gorgeous!

    Not mine but still a good one, in keeping with the season: My daughter is super excited about her upcoming birthday. She woke us up at 11pm, last night. Smiling ear-to-ear, she told us she was going to be, "This many," and held up four fingers. It's now 7:30 in the morning and we still can't...

    Things you wish you could say

    You don't need to leave. You can stay and play! I'm sure there's something you wish you had the freedom (or the cojones) to say to someone.

    Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

    You'd LOVE my brother's Nightmare collection. A couple of years ago I got him an "(un) life-sized zero hanger to go with his 8-foot Jack & Sally. Oogy-Boogy is a bit smaller, but not by much. He just looks like he's standing back a bit. They should be going up sometime next week and will hang...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    If you're doing it with fresh apples, save your peels and cores. Boil them down & strain the solids and you have the makings for some killer apple jelly. If you have fresh mint, and a generous handful in a cheesecloth bag while you're boiling the juices ... mint jelly. Or add a cup or so of...
