    SW Ohio in search of White Silkie hen

    My granddaughters favorite chicken, a white silkie hen passed today from being egg bound. Her other favorite went missing in the spring and broke her heart. I can't bear to tell her about this one so I am trying to find a replacement before she comes back over on 2/24. I am willing to purchase...

    Rotten Egg

    I have a 7 year old Emu Yoyo, I raised from the time it was a chick. I was assuming was a male since it had never laid an egg. Last night Yoyo was lethargic and not eating food. I shut Yoyo in the barn last night in a stall with a heat lamp. I got up this morning at 5am to check on Yo before I...

    Failed Peafowl Hatch has a happy ending

    My peahen laid four eggs in my coop that she shares with the chickens and I decided to let her set on them when she went broody since she was in a good spot and I could safely shut her in at night. After the 28 days none of the eggs were hatching. I let her set on the eggs another week just to...

    Using broody hens to raise mail ordered chicks

    After two years of raising dusty, stinky chicks in my house in the spring I decided to try a new method for raising my new chicks. I got to thinking about last year when I also let a couple hens that went broody hatch eggs but ended up with lots of surplus roosters. I watched the hens versus the...

    Mixed up Seasons

    I have a pair of purple peafowl that seem to be off schedule. Last year my hen laid eggs in May but my peacock lost his tail feathers that same month as well. This year the peacock got his full tail feathers in by January and was displaying all the time. The hen laid her first egg the last week...

    Hopfully the kids got the message even though the staff didn't.

    My friend who is a nurse, did a presentation for her 5 year old daughter's class. She took in all different color eggs from her grandma's chickens, had a chart made up with pictures of the chickens that laid the eggs showing which one laid which colored eggs. She had blue, brown, white, & green...

    Long story short, on the urging of a friend of a friend I went to house to look at a goat they were giving away. When I got there I found a very small goat living amongst garbage & feces on a back enclosed porch. Couldn't get a straight answer on where the goat came from, how long they had him...

    Lets Play......Who's your Daddy?????

    I hatched out some of my own eggs to make my own "designer chicks", it is so fun to see the different combinations you get when you mix breeds! This is totally for fun, I don't desperately need to know, & I have my own opinions but... wanted to see what everyone else thinks too. So here are...

    Goat Discipline???

    I have a pygmy buck I think he is about a year old. He was a sort of rescue so I am not positive on the exact date. He was completely scared & shy of everyone when we got him. I think the previous owner let his kids mistreat him. After much work & time he is now no longer afraid of me & willing...
