    Grape vines by the chicken run?

    My new run will be up beside a shed that has grape vines beside it. Should I keep pruning the vines back or reinforce the run on that corner and let it go? I think it would be nice to leave it go as to give them more shade in the summer but I'm afraid the vines would get too heavy and wreck my...

    Platte, SD "One of A Kind Sale" Feb. 23, 2013

    It's a 2 hour swap first and then they auction what doesn't sell. I was wondering if anyone ever went and what to expect? Do they get a commision on the swap or only on the auction? Is there usually a good variety of poultry? Any swans, peafowl, pheasants or exotic geese? I would think this is...

    Gro Gel, Is it enough moisture for older chicks?

    I know GroGel is for feeding day-old chicks but I was wondering if it works for older chicks that you are taking to sell. If you put this in the cage with them, would it provide enough moisture for the day or would they still need a waterer?

    chocolate OEGB eggs in or around MN (NPIP tested please)

    I would like to find a hen or two but haven't heard of anyone around here that has any, so I thought I'd try shipped eggs again. I have a hen that's gone broody so if I could just get 6 or so, that would be great. Please let me know price with shipping. Thanks.

    blue-laced red OEGB?

    I really like the color of blue-laced red wyondottes. What would be the best way to try and get that color in OEGs? (Or does somebody already have it?)
