It's been a very long time since I have been on this site. Happy to see the community is still robust.
We had a Coyote (assumed) get all but one hen two nights ago when the coop was forgotten open. Does anyone have hens or pullets for sale?
Thanks,
Joel
Hey guys. I feel like adding to the flock and am wondering if any one has Welsummer chicks right now. I think we also want to add a roo to the mix so we can hatch eggs to grow the flock.
Hey guys, it's been a while. I'm wondering if anyone would like my dead mini fridge to make an incubator out of? It's not a wine fridge with a window but I'm sure one could be added if you wanted to.
Quitting my job and selling the kids so I can keep up with this thread. The double decker brooder looks good although, I think little boys and dogs smell up the house enough so I like to keep the foul outside. My chicks are doing good except one Golden Lakenvelder that got smooshed on the...
Southerndesert, good eye or just that like attracts like. I have an 81 that I maintain and ride (mostly maintain lately) shovels always grab my attention.
Laree, good to see you and great advise on that waffle tidying.
Whitsay, we live in a county island and found that a call to the county...
OT but... Southerndesert do I spy a Shovelhead in your avatar? Every good chicken ranch should have a Shovelhead, and lots of Slayer and Agnostic Front I find the chickens grow up tougher and can take care of them selves when the get a good dose of old iron, Heavy metal and NY hardcore.lol
Hey guys!
I haven't been around much because I changed jobs and move and moved the kids schools and just tried to upend life as much as I could in a 12 month period. You might have caught my post back in Movember about something killing all of the chickens. Well replacement chooks have...
I think the neighbor dog just killed all my chooks except the one crazy bugger that always escapes the coop. Does anyone have surplus hens?
Also I haven't been around lately how's everyone doing?
Hey guys. Glad to see everyone doing well. My family finally found a new house on an acre of county in Mesa. Now the fun starts and the highlight may be moving the chooks and the coop. In a related note I'm feeling like I have too many chickens and am wondering if anyone has a plucker that...
So My last post was in September and I've only checked in a couple times, this post moves too fast to even try to keep up. It's cool to see so many new faces, welcome. It's also cool to see the regulars but it looks like a couple peeps are missing (laree and sockpuppet come to mind right...

You water bath (WB) applesauce...quarts are 25 minutes.......never done it in half gallon jars.......
You can do either, I was going to do pressure because my canner isn't tall enough to WB quarts. It's also apparently not tall enough to do Half gallons at all, I would still be...
Congrats on the upcoming kiddo!
I have a new computer now to replace the one the kids broke butt I have not been on here much, life is just busy with a bunch of crap no one wants to hear about. I do have a chicken issue to figure out, it seems I have an OCD pullet. This one darn pullet keeps...
Arg! Now I am suffering from the dreaded "no update notice glitch". I'm on my wife's puter until mine comes back from repair or gets replaced so hopefully it is because of the way her cookie handling is set up or something.
The coop needs a good cleaning and I am soooo looking forward to...

Irrigation and neighborhood cooperation can be tough.
This was more than neighborhood non-cooperation. We've lived here for 11.5 years without this kind of problem. I reset the gates correctly 3 times and someone changes them back, almost as soon as I set them correctly. I am...
