    What size coop for tiny chickens?

    I LOVE my playhouse coop! It's a full-sized wooden playhouse with a "sandbox" underneath as a run, so it's big. It's really more like a raised wooden shed. It was super easy to convert. Check your local "Craig's List" or Freecycle type listings for someone looking to get rid of one. They're...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Welcome aboard! I'm in Cecil. My flock is mostly Nankin bantams - just a couple of sizes bigger than your quail!

    What size coop for tiny chickens?

    Bantams seem to fly better (or at least more often) than standards, so my little Nankins get the full-space allotted for bigger birds.

    What made you happy today?

    No,No, NO! It's not "gray" OR "silver." It's "Arctic Blonde." Those aren't Senior Moments we're having ... they're BLONDE Moments!" That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I have never seen or heard of a "Japanese Silkie." The only varieties I've come across are bearded and non-bearded - and the ones from the feed stores and many large-scale, commercial hatcheries are still regular Silkies, just poorly bred. Do you have any references for the Japanese birds? Now...

    Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

    My Mom has a massive paper wasp nest hanging high in the peak of her sunroom. I thought my poor stepdad was going to have heart failure when she finally brought it in. It's been there for years now ... and it's VERY cool!

    Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

    Guilty as charged! Have you seen the videos from the guy who does "weapons" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail? I think he calls his tutorial books "Bro Crochet" or "Crochet for Bros" - something along those lines. The Holy Hand Grenade is my fav, but the dynamite and sword are pretty cool (...

    What made you happy today?

    If you fridge it, it won't mold unless your electric goes out for a few days. Dang, I love maple syrup. Try it over ice cream and canned peaches!

    What made you happy today?

    Don't overthink it! It needs a direct boil, not a water bath.

    Bad Luck Bantams

    An easy way to add some enrichment is to make one of your new roosts a swing. A simple 2X4about as long as two of your chickens and a few inches of "sharing room," wide side up and suspended by nylon rope. Chain can catch toes and the nylon is washable and bleachable to combat mites and other...

    What made you happy today?

    Yes, you can save it. My Bestie's family has a maple syrup farm in Vermont, so this is straight from the makers: Gently pull the mold off the top. It should peel right up in a single layer. Dump the rest into a pan for stove-top boiling or a glass for the microwave (yes, microwaving it works!)...

    I'll bet you have some really interesting lamps and lanterns. DS has a couple of old RR lanterns - and those are pretty cool, too.

    Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

    When When I was fresh out of high school, I was in our local Thom McCann's so often that I ended up dating the salesman! Of course, It helped that he was "hot" and would hold back shoes he knew I'd like. He knew the tiny sizes always sold out quickly, so I got first shot when something new came in!

    This chicken is not dead

    Years ago, my cousin adopted an all black puppy. He was born on Halloween and had a tiny bit of silver around his eyes that made him look like he was wearing spooky glasses. She named him "Spook." She lived in a quiet midwestern town, unaware that her pup's cute Halloween name was a derogatory...

    Mine do the same thing. DS thinks they like the feel of the vibrations in the ground.
