    searching for people!

    This is the best place I could figure out to post this. I have been noticing that a good deal of members I "knew" on this board are being banned. I AM NOT questioning the moderators on this (not wishing to be banned for that specific indisgression myself) but I would like to know if a search...

    eBay song

    If any of you use eBay take a look over at this item # 310029467190 Now you aren't really looking at the item, when get there a song will start playing. LISTEN TO THE WORDS! My husband and I are laughing our fannys off. It just proves that I am not the only person to "have to buy" on eBay...

    help! snake stuck!

    I can't remember who raises snakes on this board. My ball python 33 inches long is shedding (trying to). He went through the hole in his den rock and is stuck. I have stroked him trying to get him to relax and back out. I have oiled him up trying to get him to slide one way or the other...

    Shavings in coop

    Having read about how bad it is to put cedar shavings in with your chickens, I'm a bit gun-shy. I sent the husband to the feedstore and he brought home something I'm not sure of. It doesn't say exactly what the wood shavings are. I went to the company's web site and it says they are Douglas...

    on our way to state

    Well all, we are leaving today for the girl's state wrestling tournament. We will be gone till Sunday. I got a chicken sitter for the hens. It's a cheap sitter, she gets all the eggs laid while we are gone...not too bad since I only have 4 chickens. Robin isn't seeded as well as we had...

    chainsaw needed for shells!

    I was a skeptic about the taste of fresh eggs from my girls...only till they started laying! I now enjoy 3 eggs each morning (they are still kinda small). The room temperature truly makes a difference in the egg, but what can I do about their harder than rock shells? I have oyster shell out...

    tennis ball size poop.

    The girls are all happy and running around, but there are 3 poops in the run that are tennis ball size. They are normal color and texture (somehow that just sounds wrong) They are laying eggs and bawking up a storm and I just wanted to verify that this is a normal occurance. Cathy

    I have swimming chickens!

    Lucy has been laying for 2 days now and I am very happy. Last evening the rain started around 4PM and never let up till about 8:30 this morning. My run is like a lake. The girls have high ground where they can hang out, but where did I find them??? In their dust bath area in 3 inches of...

    We have an egg!!

    I went to the yard this morning and there were only 3 or the 4 girls in the run. Lucy was still in the coop. I went over and she was sitting in one of the nest boxes...ON TOP OF A LOVELY BROWN EGG!! I am so excited. I was beginning to think this day was never coming. It is a beautiful egg...

    retirement & moving (LONG)

    My husband has made a concession about retiring. I have been retired for 5 years and want to get away from California (expensive EVERYTHING). I know many of you are very protective of your states and "outsiders" moving in, but I still am going to ask. I don't mind cold or hot but don't want...

    What should I do? I want to be paid!

    I took a little part-time job at a new market we have here in California. I am an independent contractor that services their magazines twice a week. I restock them and remove the covers and mail them back to the publisher when they are out dated. I have worked for them since Nov. 1st. I have...

    can chickens swim?

    It has been raining here for about 14 hours. That may not seem like alot to some of you, but here in California it's way more than the norm. The girls are in their coop with a little door to get outside if they choose, but once they are out it's under at least 3 inches of water in their run...

    feeders what type?

    I currently have a plastic feeder jar type that gets filled up and the top (actually the bottom) gets slid on and all gets flipped over. The food has a space to come under the lip and fill the outer areas where there are holes for the birds heads to go in and eat. I do not like this feeder and...

    Who has what kind for sale?

    Is there a post in archive that tells which member sells eggs and what type of eggs they sell? If there isn't, I can put together an Excel spreadsheet with all the information. My 'bator is heating up and I am shopping for eggs! I would as soon give one of you my business, rather than go to...

    egg sex-ed 101

    In "everything else chicken" there is a post called - Pics of egg to chick devolpment. It is very interesting. It is a bit confusing to me. I thought the yolk of the egg was what nourished the chick during developement. This appears to be the way it is in the pictures. What is the white...

    The "unwritten" rule at my city hall (sort of long)

    Several weeks ago I spent over an hour on the phone with City Hall trying to find out if ducks were allowed in my town. I found the area that states, "Poultry (hens only in the R-1 zone) and pigeons, provided that not more than twenty-four (24) birds are maintained on any lot or parcel" This...

    snake in the house

    This is the best place I could find to put this question. I have a 4 1/2 foot ball python snake in my house (as a pet). When the pullets start laying hopefully in the next month do you think it would be ok to give Curly the eggs that are damaged or soft shelled that the humans won't eat? I...
