    My husband finally decided he wants to sell...

    ...our house! We've been here 23 years. The kids want to be closer to school and activities during the week, but they enjoy downtime on the farm too. Since we have two farms, hubby said we can sell our house and the acreage here, move to town, and have a small place on the larger farm for the...

    Put my dog down?????????

    I have a living will because *I* don't want to be kept alive beyond the point at which I can actually have a life. My philosophy is, There are many things worse than death. The act of DYING is one of them. I think there comes a time when our bodies are simply finished. We die. But because of...

    Need Legal Advice about a chicken coop

    It may depend on your state's laws, or what's in your rental agreement, but I'm pretty sure that here, anything not permanently attached to the home or property is not automatically part of the property. The way we were told in real estate classes was something like, curtains put up in a house...

    Recipes/foods that freeze well,

    I keep a gallon sized ziploc bag in our freezer, and whenever we have leftover beans, corn, peas, etc., I just dump them into the bag and continue filling it. Once filled, we have "dump soup" from the freezer. Add a little meat if you want it, whatever soup stock you like--we usually use tomato...

    What Time Do Your Roosters Start Crowing In The Morning?

    I woke at 4:30 this morning and one was crowing then. Still completely black outside. They crow all day. But when I close them up at night, they seem to be pretty quiet 'til at least the very early hours...at least I don't hear them before that.

    I made my hen really mad...

    What a pretty hen and pretty babies, chick-among-us! My broody hen acts the same way in the big coop...in fact she's in there now, and I went to feed and check for eggs, and I swear she looked like an angry cat the way she raised her feathers at me and got real scruffy looking, giving me the...

    I made my hen really mad...

    Okay, I made a mess of my efforts to isolate my broody hen with some eggs. Made my hen really mad. The first day, when I put her in, she went in the box and got the eggs under her. That evening, though, I saw her out eating and drinking. Maybe I shouldn't have left food and water in there for...

    Question about lump on dog (Another update 12/26) Maybe good ending!

    Don't feel bad or have regrets. You are giving this dog the best part of her life, if it is short or long. And your family will be better for having known her too. It's never easy to part with them, regardless of how long we have them. Make every day count. Hoping for the best results...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Alrighty, I'm joining this thread. I have not read all 585 pages, but I'm working on it, from start to finish. Anyway, three of my hens are always broody!

    Alfalfa: cubes and pellets questions

    I've never tried to feed the hay cubes to my hens, but I used to keep bags for camping with the horses. The cubes are incredibly hard, so I don't know if the hens would be able to bust them...The horses do chomp on them, but I got into the habit of soaking the cubes in water so they would absorb...

    Need book series for a 6 year old

    Would the younger-reader version of the Black Stallion series be suitable? I know some versions are more for pre-teen, but I've seen very thin paperback editions too. ?
