    spring molt?

    I don't know how this is possible but I'm hoping someone with more experience will enlighten me... My flock of 12 chickens is suddenly stopped laying and started molting this week. I always thought they molted in the fall, which they did last fall but it wasn't much of a molt. Now there's...

    I thought it was legal but...

    So I thought it was ok for me to have chickens and small livestock this whole time... Come to find out today that there is apparently a covenance in this "development" which basically reads like an association without the fees with everything from the color of your sheds to the type of fence up...

    Minnesota processors?

    Does anyone know of a chicken processing business on the north side of the twin cities to st cloud area to Mille Lac? We live by Princeton. There's a place way up by Little Falls but that's a long drive to have no more than 20-30 birds butchered per year. We'll learn to do it ourselves if we...

    Groan... how do you decide on a breed question...

    Ok. I'm sure there have been dozens of q's like this but the lack of a search feature is forcing me to post anyway. How do you decide which breed is best when you're starting out? I thought I had it narrowed down to 5 or so but now I'm contemplating bantams in the mix... I only have room for 10...
