Goodness.... our plan is to bring ancona ducks on board next year but after reading through this thread and looking at the pictures it's going to be hard to be patient!! Beautiful, just beautiful!!
Okay guys, it's been a long long while since I've been on here...had a lot catching up to do! I have a favor: any practical advice for a newbie with an incubator? I've had hens for two years now (strictly backyard flock for eggs and entertainment) but I think I'm ready to hatch some on my...
Hello All!!
It's been a long while since I've been on and I have a quick question: does anyone here process their own chickens? I remember someone mentioning it but I can't remember who! My husband and I want to be able to do this but not sure how to start...
Okay everyone - I have a ....thing (not sure if it's a problem or not) but I really have no idea what's going on.
One morning a month or so ago I noticed that one of my BO girls had a patch on the side of her neck, maybe 3 inches long and 2 wide, of missing feathers on her neck. There were no...
Now I feel like an idiot and my husband has just landed himself on the naughty list. Guess who decided to plant eggs yesterday?? Tomorrow I will laugh, today I'm planning revenge.
I'm sorry CarolJ!
I have an odd question/situation. I have Buff Orpingtons and Australorps laying. They have almost completely stopped with the shorter days so hubby installed a light with timer to lengthen their "days". Now, both are brown egg layers - last night I found two green eggs in...

Anybody have any clue?
CarolJ - Cute picture!!
Okay - question for you all. During the winter do you put a light in the coop to "lengthen" the day? The girls will be outside almost every day.
Okla-doodle Those guinea pigs are adorable!! But I will admit my first thought was "That's a funky looking skunk". Time for more coffee and different glasses I think.

Saturday afternoon? The times when we have met at 4:00 seemed to have worked out well. I don't have any chickens to trade and my husband would kill me if I snuck in more. BUT would love to see everyone. I guess all that was to say it doesn't matter to me if we eat or just sit and gab.
Citygirl - Good luck! Sending tons of positive energy your way!
DM Rippy - Congrats on the egg development!! I haven't made the incubator plunge yet but it's getting harder and harder to resist, especially when all those cute fuzzy butt pictures are posted.
Regarding meetup - I can do Sat...
