    FIRST EGGS!!!

    My wife has been doing 95% of the feeding/watering/cleaning for the chickens but yesterday after work I just happened to walk back and check on them. These are our first chickens ever. I was pretty surprised/excited to find 3 eggs! We have 6 chickens and got all of them too young to lay. We...

    Quiet time with the dogs/cat

    My dogs and my cat like to all come get in my lap and sit with me for a couple of hours early weekend mornings while we're waiting for everyone else to get up. I must not be a completely bad guy after all.

    Superbowl Food Thread

    OK, let's see what y'all are having. I'll start out by showing the hot wings I made. Half are hot (Frank's, butter, garlic powder), about 1/4 are teriaki & black pepper, and 1/4 are salt & vinegar. They're crisping up a little more in the oven right now. Got lots more food for the superbowl...

    Snack time!!!

    'Bout to get my drink on and my snack on. That's an icy cold Yuengling and some stew beef that I cut up really small and marinated for about 3 hours in soy sauce and hot chili sauce, then fried in the pan. Some celery salt and cracked black pepper to top it off. Weather sucks outside so I'm...

    3 weeks ago = 0 hens. 2 weeks ago = 2 hens. today = 5 hens...

    I think I can see where this is going. We started out with a Rhode Island Red and a Golden Buff, both are about 13 weeks old. Today my wife picked up a black Bantam Silkie (6 weeks old), an Ameraucana (3 days old), and a Bantam Brahma( 6 weeks old). The guy she got them from raises/sells...

    question about nesting box height

    Maybe opinions will vary on this but I'd like to hear them. We have an 8'X8' run that's 6' high with a coop inside it that is about 5'X2.5'X2.5' high and the coop is raised up about 3' from ground level. The hens either walk up a ramp or jump/fly into the coop. My question is about the...
