    Rant! Neighbor dogs killed ALL of my chickens!!!

    Thank you all. I stayed up last night but they haven't come back yet. For now I'm looking at prices on wood and materials to build the ultimate chicken fort knox. I'll make sure that even if I don't get these jerks that my future chickens are safe at night at least. @ameliadanielle Yeah one...

    Rant! Neighbor dogs killed ALL of my chickens!!!

    Oh I'm so freaking out today. Last night my fridge/freezer broke and we lost a lot of food(we JUST bought groceries yesterday), my horse broke through his fencing and ran down the road to see his friend half a mile away and now this morning after getting ready to go out on a "date day", I go out...

    Who rules your roost? I wanna see pics of your top hen/roo. :)

    I want to see pics of everyones top chick in their coops. Mine is a little cochin who I got from a friend last year in June. I'm not sure how old she is but I do know that the entire mix is around the same age. There are SLW, RIR, Barred Rocks, Silkies and her all together at the moment. She...

    Wyandottes and Orpingtons

    From what I've seen the English orps are larger and more "round" than the others. They are fluffier in general and tend to have puffy butts like the cochins. It was only a week or so ago that I decided to get English orpingtons so I have not had any personal experience yet but as they grow I can...

    Chick Has A Leg Problem?

    It looks kinda like that. I will try to treat it for that and hope it gets better. Is it sad that it's already my favorite out of the group? I put my hand into the brooder and it hobbles over and sits on me. It loves to cuddle under my hair and eats constantly. Even if I can't get it fixed I'm...

    Chick Has A Leg Problem?

    I got four English Orpington chicks today and one of them seems to have a particular problem. When it stands up it pushes its left leg completely straight and off to the side without putting any weight on it. It is also limping when it walks. The leg quivers when it leans over to take a drink...

    My girls are food snobs!

    I got my chickens from a friend a little over a year ago and in the entire time I've had them they simply refuse to eat any feed I put out unless there is no choice. I even tried three or four different brands and styles(pellets and crumbles). They are free ranged during the day and I keep the...

    I found a pickle crock!!! Now what?

    Ok, so my parents have decided to demolish their old house and build a new one in the same location. Its a really really old farmhouse and they cant fix it for the price of building a new one so hey whatever. I was helping them clean out the basement and in this old dusty cabinet in the corner...

    Last Year I Started Beekeeping - So Exciting

    I have book after book on beekeeping and a binder of information I have printed out from online sources. My only setback is the intitial setup cost. When it comes to safety equipment the only thing I want is a hood since I am more than comfortable around bees and don't mind the occasional sting...
