    My girls say "YES WE CAN!"

    My husband walked in this morning and said very seriously, "You'd better go look in the coop." I dropped everything and ran because the way he sounded I was convinced there were half a dozen dead birds in there...but instead, I found the prettiest little brown egg I've ever seen. That it...

    ...it's gone too far...

    I very seldom remember my dreams but the other night I had a dream that made me wake up laughing at myself. I dreamed that we were in a car driving down the road and I was peeling a hard boiled egg. All of a sudden, inside the egg was a fully formed chick pipping, except it was totally dry and...

    Anyone process their own birds in Central Florida?

    I am thinking hard about raising some meat birds next year, but I don't want to do it if I can't process them myself. I think if I could watch someone or help someone, I would be well prepared. I really want to be able to finish what I start. Is there anyone in the central part of Florida who...

    A word of advice regarding lap chickens

    Um...if you have lap chickens and walk into the run with a big piece of leftover french toast and sit on the feed bucket, MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT WEARING SHORT PANTS. Ouch. But it is good to know that I have two willing lap chickens!

    Not exactly a PET, but...

    There is a big ole turtle swimming around in my pool! I tried to scoop him out because it's superchlorinated waiting for Hanna and/or Ike rains...I don't think it's too good for him...but he's having NONE of that! He has a long pointy nose...his shell is oval and smooth. I don't think he's a...

    Granola Recipe: NO Peanut butter.

    Here’s a granola recipe I have come to love. You can play with it, you know, it’s not like you need to be exact with your measurements and I’ve also used different nuts but almonds and pistachios are my favorite combination. Enjoy it with hot or cold milk, or just eat it out of hand! I got...

    My crazy flock

    I love my chickens. They can always make me laugh after a rough day. After a rough start outside (two got eaten by a dog), my girls spent the day out in their yard today. At about 9 I thought -- holy crap, it's dark! I'd better check to see that they're in the coop. Sure enough, they were...

    My Little Orange Housecat

    Serge is my little orange guy...you know how sometimes you fall in love with your spouse all over again? Just now, Serge came RUNNING into the office, jumped up on the desk, made a little "rrrr" noise at me and gave my arm the head butt. So I fell in love with him all over again, even though...

    Fountain Hills, Arizona?

    Hubby and I may be visiting Arizona next month (it's been 30 years since either of us has been there and we've never been together). He has a software training in Fountain Hills. Is there anyone here from that area? What do you love most about your town? I've contacted the Chamber of...

    Mamma Mia!

    Okay, here's the deal. I am NOT an ABBA fan. But the ads for this movie looked cute and Meryl Streep looked like she was having so much fun that I told Coop-a-Kick that I really wanted to see this movie (Mamma Mia). So we went Sunday afternoon. It was TERRIFIC. I can't imagine someone...

    Liquid Rennet question

    So the liquid rennet bottle says the rennet must be diluted 20:1 in cool non-chlorinated water. Then it says 1/2 tsp sets 2 gallons of milk in about 45 minutes. Is that 1/2 tsp DILUTED or full strength? I've e-mailed the folks who sold it to me but haven't heard back yet. If it's diluted...

    Hawk question

    One of my girls (4 weeks old at the time) was left outside of the run for an afternoon...I understand how it happened and have hollered long and loud enough that I don't think it will happen again. But here's the thing...when I got home that afternoon, there was a hawk up in a tree. As soon as...

    What the heck just happened here?

    So I was at the hardware store getting hardware cloth today and we started talking about my chickens. Before I knew it, I was taking home a 3 week old RIR pullet. Huh? THAT wasn't supposed to happen! You know, I was only supposed to have THREE and now I have an even dozen. And here's the...

    Establising Pecking Order

    I have to laugh at my 2 week old EE and 1 week old wyandotte...this one little wyandotte is convinced that the sun rises and sets on her. So she and Janice (EE) have been doing the chest butting thing all morning. Hysterical! But on the whole pecking order thing, I've noticed the girls sort...

    Thank you, BYC folk!

    Mods, please move this if it's not in the right place, but I'm trying to make sure the right people see it. Recently I have been reading the Emergencies/Diseases/Injuries and Cures section because now that my chicks are here, I really want to be ready if something awful happens. I just want to...
