    Phase One

    Hello! This is me with my first chicken. My husband named her Jane. She came from Lilchick's flock of lovey birds. It's my first time keeping chickens and I'm in the city, so I am starting out with three girls. This is a view of my run/tractor. Still needs some finishing touches, but I am...

    Designer Dogs

    Quote: I understand what you are saying here but disagree that its simple vanity to get a purebred dog unless its for something other than a pet. Dogs became breeds because of specific needs of people and specifically bred for those special traits that fit out needs. Some people might want a...

    When is it all too much?

    I can't afford anything fancy myself, but I do love looking at all the pics of pretty coops. I don't know that I'd make ones like that unless it was for a business, regardless of how much money I had, but I still think they look fun. I'm just utilitarian by nature, in general. My hens live in a...

    Designer Dogs

    I would think that unless you are planning on breeding a dog, having the desired characteristics, knowing that the dog is from good parents and a reputable breeder would be a lot more important than whether the dog is purebred. I don't actually see the point of getting a purebred pet unless you...

    *** Best Looking Cross Breed ***

    Our mystery girl, Belle. She isn't the brightest hen in the flock, nor is she super friendly, but she's calm and doesn't run away when you try to pick her up. She lays a medium brown egg a day dependably and is quite the pretty girl, IMO. Not that I'm biased or anything.

    Personal advice needed on marriage and finances

    You did great, hangin'witthepeeps! One of the hardest, but most important things I had to learn as a wife was that my husband can't read my mind and doesn't pick up on hints. I made a promise to myself after about ten years of marriage that if I didn't tell my husband what I wanted, I couldn't...

    Aggrevated at Farmers Market customers complaining about prices

    That's why I don't shop at my local farmer's market. I simply cannot afford it. I care about my family's health and I feel bad that many of the animal products I eat come at the cost of a miserable life for an animal, but we have seven people to feed and not a lot of money to do it with. We try...

    Scared out of my mind and need to just talk it out.

    I think it mustn't be that serious since they are waiting six months for a follow up, but the way you were informed -- especially right before a weekend -- is deplorable and I understand why you are upset. Several years ago, we discovered a walnut sized tumor on my son's leg and I was...

    Indiana 2010 Chickenstock-2011 NEWS!!

    I plan on coming. I know there will be three of us for certain and there might be six or maybe seven of us. Do you need to know specifically how many of us there will be and if so, how soon do we need to nail it down? I don't have anything to sell, but I'm willing to bring food. No idea what I...

    Getting a little nervous that I might have a roo (Black Australorps)

    Quote: Okay. Now I'm really confused! If this starts crowing I'm just going to hand out earplugs to the entire neighborhood! J/K! Thanks all for setting my mind at ease!

    Getting a little nervous that I might have a roo (Black Australorps)

    These were sold to me as pullets and probably are, but I just started noticing some differences in facial features and it's freaking me out a little. I don't think the neighbors would be happy to hear crowing. I'm legal to have chickens here, but I don't want to give anyone an excuse to call my...

    Getting flack for killing our meaties -- and need some reassurance!

    I admire what you are doing. We have four kids and my mom lives with us, so we buy most of our food -- especially meat -- from Sam's. It tastes pretty good, but I have no idea how it was raised or fed or slaughtered. I hope one day to be able to at least have a better idea where my meat came...

    A HUGE victory for BYC!

    I don't think her intent is to be self-sufficient, I think she just thinks it's cool and will be fun for the kids. And ratings, well, I can guarantee that she could get a pretty fat welfare check and a pretty generous foodstamp and childcare allowance with all those kids, and taxpayers could pay...

    A HUGE victory for BYC!

    Awareness is a very good thing IMO. I hope it does get more people interested in keeping chickens, because I'm a big advocate of self-sufficiency. I'm seeing a lot more vegetable gardens in my area than I remember seeing in years past and I'm hoping in the next few years I'll be seeing more...

    What is YOUR definition of romantic???

    A nice walk together sans offspring. Him pitching in and helping with my projects, even when he thinks I'm crazy. Doing almost anything together. He can always make me laugh.

    Disappointed and MAD

    Quote: Kinda sounds that way to me, if she was coming on to him in front of her BF. You can't steal somebody that doesn't want to be stolen. The DH is the problem, not the woman.
