    here we go again --- broody hen -- :-(

    okay, we have another 'broody' ---- 'Darlene' is a blue Orp. -- year and a half old --- she's been parked on the same nest-box for three weeks now --- she is 'out-and-about' first thing in the morning and then I take her off the nest twice a day -- her crop is usually full but she is getting...

    Cavalia/Odysseo????

    We just got back from Atlanta -- seeing Cavalia's newest production, 'Odysseo' --- Has anybody else seen this? It was our Christmas gift to each other and most definitely worth the money --- we got pricey 'VIP Tickets' that included meal and tour of the stables after the show --- we hesitated...

    What has NOT changed?

    With the very interesting threads about whether-or-not dogs and horses have changed over the years, I'd like to start a new subject of 'what kind of animal or particular breed has NOT changed in the past 20 years?' I feel confident that we can keep this thread as respectful as the one on dogs...

    for Jamie-the-dog-trainer -- :-)

    Please do start a thread about how dogs have changed in the past years --- it would be very interesting and perhaps can be done with less acrimony than the one on horses --- I have had Cavaliers and Japanese Chin for more than 25 years and before that had never even heard of them (first saw...

    Aren't we the lucky ones?!

    (tongue firmly in cheek) Isn't it amazing that we can benefit from the great knowledge of other BYC members --- and not just about chickens! In fact, not-so-much about chickens -- who knew!? There are people who submit multiple posts each day -- and ALL of our questions can be...

    TSC -- again --

    I only shop at TSC a few times a year -- husband has to do the TSC shopping as I really and truly don't 'trust myself' in that store -- We have horses, dogs, and cats in addition to the six hens --- and every department in TSC has its appeal for me -- I even want to buy things when I don't...

    cleaned-out eggs for crafts?

    anybody going to be selling really clean, hollow goose or duck eggs this year? I bought some last year and 'might' be inspired to do some more egg-decorating as Spring nears -- right now, it seems a long time away -- :-( I bought eggs from several BYC people a few years ago -- most were...

    anyone else think those feathered chicken legs are creepy?

    The latest addition to my flock of seven is a BCM pullet -- I just can't help thinking it looks creepy to see those feathers growing out the sides of her legs --- We don't have any 'feather-footed' breeds but I think Silkies are darling as well as Frizzles -- their feathery feet don't bother...

    How long to wait????

    After an involved discussion with 'the chicken guy' at Tractor Supply, I have started worming my flock of 7 hens with Wazine (he scared me away from the ivermec!) 'chicken guy' says to use the Wazine for two days (freshly mixed each day) and then wait a 'while' before we eat the eggs --- So --...

    scaley leg mites --- again

    Okay, I have done an in-depth search of this topic on the BYC forum -- got lots of good idea and started treating with Vasoline yesterday -- we have 5 hens and only one of them has it -- we 'greased up' the others, tho -- I found so much info. but none that tells me "How long does this take?"...
