    Does anyone know this company?

    I just saw this company on line, and after recently tearing down our old coop, and building a new one, (thanks to my brother cause I couldn't EVER have done it without him)... and after adding up the cost of everything, these buildings don't seem too far off from what I spent even with begging...

    Why do chickens...

    Why do they eat sawdust? When out working on projects, if there's sawdust from the task, they're peck, peck, pecking at it! It drives me crazy! It can't be good for them, but my brother says let em eat it, it'll reduce my feed cost! (jk)

    Short and amusing... add one of your own!

    OK, I was down at the coop, deciding where, how and with what I was going to build nest boxes … I’d absently picked up an egg from the ground, and after sort of eyeing the two spots I was considering for the boxes, I reached back to my back pocket where I had the measuring tape clipped…. Yep...

    1970's Article "Geese Grow on Grass"

    Found this, thought it was interesting enough to share. (from Mother Earth News March/April 1970) I find older outlooks, whether from the 70's or going all the way back to turn of the century interesting. Lots of things (though not all) hold true, science isn't everything after all! Geese...

    Question Please?

    If ordering birds, either chicks or juveniles or older too I guess, and they say a "Trio" is that always going to be a cockeral and two hens? And is a "Pair" always one of each? I've been all over trying to find any site that specifies, and no one does which means probably everyone already...

    Complex bizarre question! (right up this places alley!!! :D )

    Ok, so, my complex bizarre question is… I’ve had chickens here off and on over the years, and I’m pretty good with them. I am really thinking though that I’d love to get some ducks… BUT, I have to explain some things. Our back yard rolls right down to a river, it’s the Upper Cuyahoga river...
