I need ideas for a 4-H group name. The group shows sheep, poultry, and dogs. We were joking around about Baa Woof Cluck but preferably, the group would like a better name.
Some things to help come up with names:

I was planning on getting some, but since the plans fell through, I am on a search to get some. I am looking for high quality, show potential chicks or chickens. I really like BBS cochins, but I am interested in any color.
I am looking into mixing and making up recipes for all my animals so that I can make sure they are eating very healthy.
Any suggestions or good websites for chicken feed recipes? Duck/Goose recipes? What do you feed your chickens?

I went into my garage to get the ducklings (because they escaped out of their brooder...still figuring out how they did it), and I found my little girl with a long thin kite string in her mouth. When I gently pulled on it - it did not come out. So I took her immediately out to the kennel, to a...
UPDATE: After his intestines came out, I knew there was no hope for this little guy. I called my vet and they told me they would euthanize him for free for me. I know he is suffering, and just looking at him breaks my heart. I just have to remind myself that I am doing the right thing
My chick...
Oh happy day!
I bought 8 Ameraucana eggs from Peachick, and one of them started hatching this morning (day 21). I can hear him chirping his little head off . I hope more hatch, but if they don't I will be thrilled with just this little guy. I will post pictures as soon as he hatches!
