OOOOOH! your avatar is the trailer condo complex. I love it! Sure would love to have everyone over for coffee ... and FOOOOOD! I'm going to be so happy to finally have our house in "visitor condition". We expect to finish the adjoining dining room and front room -(knock out a wall & turn it...
Thanks. I may get it in the local paper but the design did come from a kitchen in Better Homes. Mine differs slightly with choices of animals but it was someone elses idea. Lynn
To all critter lovers...We've been redoing our kitchen since January 3rd. Sorry these photos aren't great... We got this idea straight out of a Better Homes & Garden magazine. I still don't have my curtains up but I can't believe we've pulled this one off. My husband has been great with the...
If you clip wings - only clip one on each bird. It puts them off balance - however it may not work. Hopefully nothing caught and made a meal of the missing one. Chances are if the other two stay in the lot, the escapee will return looking for food and company. Good luck. Lynn
Sounds like maybe you have a wren nesting. Their nests look like mice nests to me. I've heard of moving nests and/or rehanging fallen nests in a bucket(hanging of course). I wouldn't want to move one but I'd certainly try to rehang a fallen one in hopes the adult birds would continue to care for...
We have a lot of past experience with having many dogs and raising puppies. First of all in our "pack", the oldest female was ALPHA. In nature, the females must compete to remain ALPHA(and they will). They will also compete in a survival mode for food for themselves, food for their pups, space...
Hmmm... I'll have to send one of the dog instead....and we can have whatever you guys want - long as it isn't liver, caviar or goat. My specialty is grilled chicken and pork... or about anything on the grill with baked beans, deviled eggs,slaw and potato salad.

I bought a silkie hen for hatching eggs. She did a fantastic job - first time for me- back in December. She hatched 4 of 8 eggs/4 eggs were not fertile. She hatched the chicks outside and I brought her and the chicks inside for about six weeks(smelly-yucky!). They are all outside now and doing...
I'm so sorry! It happened to me too! I lost four chickens a couple of weeks ago to something. It/they left my favorite hen dead in the lot with very few wounds. Whatever it was carried off my largest Wyandotte and left only a couple of piles of feathers from her. It ate my two young OEG hens...
I'm no expert but the first looks like a buff orpington and I couldn't see the saddle or tail feathers to positively identify the gender of any of these birds.
The second looks like a dominique roo maybe...
The third is a frizzle.
I allowed my broody silkie hen to hatch some eggs outside in mid-December. She and the four chicks are inside now. I just make a point of cleaning up the cat-sized pile of poo each day and they are doing well so far at two and a half weeks.
I'm sure you've had enough FB by now. I'm interested in wellsummers myself. I'd like some dark brown eggs and I've a real fondness from brown/partridge birds and blue birds.
My BLRWs are from McMurray. They aren't the best in color. They were SLOW developing and late laying(32-36 weeks). They...
