For those of you who are having ant problems this season - - and who also hate pesticides - - I recently discovered that my trusty Oxine (bleach) works on ants! I keep a spray bottle of Oxine mixed with water at a very strong cleaning strength under my kitchen sink, and when I saw ants on the...
I now have more broody hens than I need, and I would love for someone else to enjoy my great incubator package. I have been very happy with the performance of the Genesis 1588, and I can't recommend it enough for folks new to hatching eggs. I am offering these items at far less than retail...
Hello! The crazy chicken lady has now been given a rescued juvenile finch to heal and foster - - I am on the web now doing some finch research, but I would really love to have some first-hand advice from our BYC folks who are experienced with finches.
I know very little about finches . . . I...

Just saw this on our local craigslist, and while it has already been sold (surprise!), I saved a pic to share with BYC in case anyone out there is handy with woodworking. The only thing I am not sure of is where you would put a heat lamp, but there are several ways you could do it. Pretty...

THE WISTFUL STORY OF A BATHROOM REMODEL
Once upon a time there was a lady who moved into a little suburban cottage. While most of the cottage was small, the master bathroom was reasonably roomy, so the lady decided to make this room nice and comfortable. She brought in lovely wallpaper from...
Hey out there! Is the Carpet City Bantam Club having its Fall Classic show in Dalton, Georgia this year? Last time I went was November 2008. I have not seen any listings for a fall show this year - - only the big double show in spring.
If anyone has info on this, please add it here. Thanks...
It would appear I have inherited a hound-mix dog from a relative, and this girl loves to track rabbits! In the interest of peace and safety, I am looking for a good home for sweet Black Bun. He is a neutered dwarf mix bachelor rabbit, and is gentle and potty trained. He adores attention, and...
8/14 - Holly update on p.3 - -
I would love to hear from experienced dog folk/trainers on this.
I have two dogs, a Border Collie and a Husky/Shepherd mix. Both are mature, "civilized" dogs who have been with me for several years, and they know how to behave as part of a household. Our dogs...

Two beautiful gold-neck d'Uccle cockerels available, around 10 weeks old.
The d'Uccles are already developing a very nice, deep gold color with good mottling. They have amazing foot feathering and correct vulture hocks and wing angles. They also feature a good "V" topline and are filling...

And the black is a deep, lustrous color:
The parents were from a beautiful, prizewinning blue/black/splash flock owned by another BYC member...
I have a beautiful red-tipped blue bantam EE cockerel available, 5 1/2 weeks old. I believe his head will darken and lose all the blonde and duckwing markings as he matures.
This is just a beautiful and unusual color, and would be great for someone wanting a fun BBS project. I got his...
I have two gold-neck Belgian d'Uccle cockerels available, 6 weeks old. Sorry, no hens available - - I moved the girls out last year since males were so hard to find!
(These pics are of #1 of the cockerels. They are nearly identical; #2 is slightly slower growing his facial muffs than this...

Just in case you missed this in the news - - around 90 horses were rescued from a severely neglectful situation on a farm in Cannon County, Tennessee on Tuesday 11/24. Due to the large number of animals needing medical attention, the TN State Fairgrounds in Nashville is being used as a sort of...
Hello out there! Has anyone heard from Pumpkinpup lately? It's been over a month, and I have not heard a peep (no BYC pun intended). I'm honestly a little worried, since as some of you know she has had health issues lately.
Do give a shout out here on this thread if you have seen/heard hide...
There appears to be an EE pair for adoption in the Nashville area. I am not connected to these folks, but our Mid-TN folks might take a look and help out if they can - it appears the owner died suddenly - -
