    Quote: It was like the calvary arrived when the CL&P trucks showed up! Our guys came all the way from CO...a long 6 days without power. Thinking a little, local chicken party might be in order before winter sets in. Traveled today to the coffee roaster. 38 miles, 1 hr travel time times 2, for...

    Hello All, Haven't been here in ages so thought I'd check in with an offer...about a year ago there was a thread about using coffee chaff in the coop as an alternative to shavings. I called a few coffee roasters but wasn't able to find one who would save their chaff for me. Finally, yesterday I...

    Duck-egg cheesecake/ how to make individual servings?

    Quote: I just looked up the Cookies and Cream cupcakes, Martha Stewart, and not only do they sound divine, they're so beautiful with that whole Oreo cookie on the bottom. White liners really let the cookie show through. Great dessert to travel and served on one those tiered cupcake holders.

    when can baby run with the big chickens?

    The first time my buff orp hatched a chick in the coop I let her raise it and all was well. The next hatch, I let chicks stay with 2 mamas and we had problems. The chicks wouldn't go back in the coop with mamas one night, it got cool and they died in the yard. So this summers hatch went like...

    One of my favorite chicken recipes!

    Quote: Let us know how it turned out! I don't worry about the calories in it since I have been low carbing. Also the reason I can't put it over toast, rice or noodles.....although I bet that would be terrific! It was rich and delicious! I used more chicken than the recipe called for so we...

    Easter egger, buff orp crosses

    Quote: Thanks that does help. I have someone coming to take the cute little mutts so I may never know what color egg they end up laying. It was the green shanks that made me think they might still be EE, even with the BO contribution. Out of that hatch I also ended up with 3 BO/Australorps...

    Easter egger, buff orp crosses

    I have 2 chicks that hatched in the coop from green eggs. The rooster is a buff orp. The chicks are darkish, multicolored and have green shanks. My question is; since they're EE/buff orp crosses, are they still considered EE or not? Or you don't know until they lay? Thanks.

    Shay, you were here at our second chickenstock and made some great food. we had a plant/seed swap, tag sale and it rained like crazy. If anyone has info on the Oxford chicken club let me know, can't find anything on it. know there's a livestock association, could that be it?

    I talked to osborndale state park today. He sounded open to a chickenstock but said we'd probably have to apply for a special use permit and pay a $50 fee, plus get insurance (anywhere between $80-125) He asked me to make my request in an e-mail as a first step, which I did. If we do end up...
