If I could ask for a favor of anyone who passes this thread, I'd greatly appreciate it.
My mother has been going through a great deal of stress for the past several months and it finally culminated into a deep emotional, physical and spiritual pain today. If I could get prayers for her, I'd...
Spoiler Alert: If you want to get to the gist of this post, just read the bold/italicized bits.
It's been awhile since I've posted one of these personal threads, but I feel like I'm gonna need a bit of support.
You see, about a month ago, my family "adopted" a boy. He was in a bad...
Hello, friends. It has been a rough couple of weeks and I've come to know that sharing my experiences helps me cope. I've lived a fairly sheltered life with little conflict that couldn't be resolved with talking and hugging it out.
Nowadays, however, I've had to be an adult and have made...
Would you like to share your egg-love with friends and family? A beautiful painted egg certainly makes an impression! Easter, Mother's Day, birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, novelty eggs, they are all possible!
I blow out, hand paint and string chicken eggs, sometimes doing personalized...
I was perusing the WWW yesterday, seeking out weeding techniques, clothing patterns, and the cost of my next video game purchase when I happened upon a Facebook post. It spoke to me, considering some personal issues I'm dealing with right now. Putting it on my favorite forum seemed like the...

Rescuing Animals: Any and All
Hello, all! I'm an animal-lover, hence why I took to poultry like my ducks took to water.
However, most of my experience with animals (before I got into backyard poultry) was through working at the animal shelter and picking up animals on the side of the...
It's been so wet down here in the Valley. We made it through Hurricane season with no rain and now it's been perpetually cloudy.
I'm feeling a little nostalgic (rain makes me that way), so I was wondering, does if anyone has any rainy day recipes? I was thinking of making fideo (like Grandma...
Hey everybody! I've been suffering from psoriasis since my junior year of high school and it is awful. One of the hardest parts is that it generally shows up in places where it is the hardest to hide. My forehead, around my nose, behind my ears, my belly button, on my navel...you get the...
I thought I'd bring up an old subject that I know some people have issues with. When we are all scrounging for pennies and trying not to waste, little things like saving grass clippings help.
A lot of people have issues with using grass clipping in their coops or runs. There are issues with...
I've learned a lot about raising a flock in the past year. As I've probably stated before, I didn't necessarily start out wanting to raise chickens. It was an opportunity that presented itself after I graduated from college with my Associate's Degree in Graphic Design. My sister had just...
Hello, everybody. I've got a bit of a predicament here at home and I'm not really sure how to handle it.
You see, a couple months back we processed three roosters. I'd been explaining to my little sister for about half a year before that, just preparing her for it. She's fifteen, though, so...
Hello everyone! I apologize for this long-winded post, but I kinda need some advice. My family has had chickens for several years now, but this is the first year that I personally have been very active in the raising of them. Since I took over (because I graduated from college and wasn't...
