We lived there when I was a little girl. I suggest talking to your neighbors and seeing what they know. It doesn't seem to be much of a problem since so many people have them
I don't encourage the float test before lock down. I'd say it's better to wait until around day 23 to do the float test. What kind of incubator do you have?

The pens are all good now:) Glad to meet a former FFA member! Were you an officer? If so, what position did you hold? Unfortunately, no. I have not had much oppurtunity to be involved but I wish I was. Wednesday morning we held a meeting and discussed National Convention. I would really...

Oh Lord, I wish they did get grades for this! FFA is considered extracurricular. Although, if you are enrolled in a class taught by the ag teacher then you are automatically in the FFA. Since all the officers are, it seems like applying the school's policy to the team would be a logical...
Unfortunately, we have held several officer meetings in which the topic was their behaviour. We've told them if they say they're going to come to something and then don't they had better have their parents call or write an excuse and that got my teacher chewed out. We've tried to address their...
This is the first time this has ever happened to me. They're all healthy and have a nice coop and fresh water. But this weather has been really weird. I guess that could be it
I have to say that I really respect vegetarians and vegans. I tried vegetarianism and the longest I went was a few months. It was all good until someone whipped out the bacon

3. Provides comfort in knowing where your food is coming from
Hey all:) I would really really love to start showing chickens but I don't know where to start. I have shown pigs through FFA but I feel it may be time to branch out due to the fact that my ag teacher isn't exactly on the ball with this. She's a wonderful teacher and friend but this is her first...
I wouldn't put it too far away from the house. The number of chickens you have could be a deciding factor. And really if you keep the chickie's home nice and clean there isn't much smell

We are actually supposed to be going to a humane society some time next week. Our german shepherd is so bored she has taken it upon herself to chew up everything in sight. Hopefully another outside dog will do her some good! Unfortunately, I am not yet 18 and you have to be of age to...
