So a guy shows up this morning, I was just heading into the shower and I hear my 16 year old talking to someone,..I hear chickens,..freerange and dog officer. Grabbed my bathrobe and headed to the door. GUy says 3 roosters and a chicken got into his garden and ate 100's of dollars worth of...
I have to make an order from hoegger and I don't have any codes that are still working. Anyone have any hoegger discount codes that are current?
Thanks ;-)
I was home, this morning,...never heard a peep at the door but my son found a notice later on that says animal control was here!! It is a notice and they want to me to call them, it has livestock information checked off. Ugh
I brought home 3 week old silkies this weekend and I have to say they are very small and seem to eat a lot less than our mixed chicks when they were 3 weeks old. Do silkie chicks grow slower, and do they eat less?
You know everything good happens when I am sleeping. I was feeling so funky all day yesterday that by dinner time I just wanted to veg out and watch tv, which usually leads to sleep, which it did. Apparently my husband and my two younger sons decided to muck out the barn. My husband called me...
Our new pig Wilbur apparently has the lot of us wrapped around his cankle (all but the goats)...so cute though had to share

Yesterday I took a 3 hour drive to pick up a wether that I plan to move with my buck when we separate from the does (nigerian goats) and when i arrived, the woman was not back yet. So I sat in the driveway and around the corner comes a potbelly pig. Oh my it was the cutest thing I ever did see...
Well the chicks are 5 or 6 weeks now,..just three days ago Mommy was sitting on her chicks with them ridiculously hanging out from under her. Then the day came she decided not to sleep with them and went back to the hen house. The next day the chicks were in the corral and Mommy dearest was free...
So we have rats. Yes I had all the visions when my husband told me of sewer rats the size of dog. They have been putting tunnels under the barn,..you can hear them from time to time squealing. So last night I see my husband and son go out with sling shots in hand. My philosophy, if it has to be...
You know, sometimes I just have to laugh or I'd cry I guess. I remember creating this big old coop with plenty of nesting boxes and roosts, my husband decided to leave it all open, no storage area above the rafters, of course the hens and rooster sleep on the rafters, so much for roosts, oh and...
We have a new buck, he is just sooo sooo Bucky :-)
His name is Incan Idol,..inca for short.
Ok the gals aren't happy he gets a spotlight...so here are the girls

I so need help. It's our first time with a broody hen, she started out sitting a few weeks back, unfortunately she decided to do it in a box shelf over the hay bin, which is around 7 feet off the ground. Well we have peeps tonight, not out of the shell quite yet, but now it finally has sunk...
I have been racking my brain trying to remember the name of a book I had when i was a kid. It was about this boy, I think he started with a turtle, he built it a house,..and then one after another he had to upgrade the house for bigger and bigger animals.
If anyone remembers it let me know...
I am so excited. When I went to buy chick feed this last week I decided to buy layer feed and low and behold two days later,..I have my first two eggs!!! Of course it's never like you think, wasn't even in the coop, so surely not in the lovely nesting boxes, they were teetering on the edge of...
