    Help me by "liking" my photo, please!

    Recently we took an amazing trip to the Isle of Palms and Charleston. After returning home we entered a photo into a contest sponsored by the realty company we rented from. Though I don't spend as much time on BYC as I once did, I would greatly appreciate it if you would "like" my photo on...

    Cuckoo Maran? Barred Holland? Barred Rock?

    A few weeks ago we ordered a pullet assortment from Ideal Poultry. Initially we thought we had several Barred Rocks as they have grown, we aren't so sure that they all are Barred Rocks. There are several that look like this one. The barring is quite mottled, their combs are rather large and...

    Coop at Hensley's Settlement in Cumberland Gap National Park

    This past Sunday, we took a hike to the Hensley's Settlement in the Cumberland Gap National Park. It was a ten mile round trip and we were exhausted, but it was well worth it. One of the more interesting buildings was this chicken coop. The interior contained only roosts. I found it...

    Lucasville, Ohio?

    This weekend I purchased some red golden pheasants from a gentleman who mentioned a large animal trade day in Lucasville, Ohio. I did a little research online but wasn't able to find much about it. Does anyone know if there is one this fall and what the dates are? Thanks!

    Albino Raccoon article

    I saw this article in the Knox News Sentinel this morning. I agree with the TWRA biologist, it is "striking". http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/jul/30/rare-albino-raccoon-captured-in-west-knox/

    New pheasant pen, could be a coop as well.

    Over the past two days, I built a pen for a trio of Red Golden Pheasants. The pen still needs to be landscaped inside and out, but the structure itself is finished. I am posting it here because I feel it could become a coop with a few modifications. I have gotten so many great ideas here on...

    Weak goose

    One of our embden geese attempted to hatch out goslings a few weeks ago. She kept breaking the eggs so we removed the dog house that she had been nesting in to break her broodiness. She looked rough when she emerged. She had lost weight and her feathers were a mess. She rejoined the rest of...

    Feeding guinea keets

    We bought ten guinea keets today. I've been doing some research and have found that guinea keets should have a high protein feed but can eat medicated chick crumbles. What do YOU feed your keets?

    First Vegetable Garden - Pic heavy

    My parents had a garden when I was growing up, but I had no desire to have one once I was out on my own. Fast forward a few years and things have changed. My partner and I decided to attempt a vegetable garden this year. I teach at a local high school so our reasoning was that I would be...

    Greater Yellowstone Trip

    Several months ago we began planning a trip to the greater Yellowstone area. I asked for suggestions here on BYC and received several great responses. After much planning and thought we arrived home from our trip two weeks ago. We flew into Denver and then drove to Keystone, South Dakota to...

    African vs. Chinese

    We ordered a gosling assortment from Ideal and have been playing "Name that Goose" since. We are pretty sure that the first picture is a Chinese and the second is an African. Yes? No? Maybe?

    What are we?

    We bought these ladies at Tractor Supply. They have patterning similair to a Black Sex Link, but the chest area has white feathers instead of red. Any thoughts?

    LF Barred Rock as surrogate mom for bantams (Chick Pics)

    When one of our Barred Rocks and one of our Welsummers decided to go broody at the same time we put some mixed bantam eggs under them fully expecting that they would get bored with it and give up. Each kept 10 eggs after we candled. After the eggs hatched we put all the chicks under the Barred...

    Fog and the garden pic

    As I was leaving for work this morning, I looked out towards the garden to see how the plants we put in yesterday looked. We got a small rain shower last night so everything looked shiny and new on the ridge but there was heavy fog in the valley below us. I went back in to get my camera and...

    Spring has sprung and it's Broodypalooza at our place.

    First one of the Welsummers and a Barred Rock decided to set. We gave them some mixed bantam eggs. Then the other Welsummer felt left out. So we gave her some Columbian Rock bantam eggs. Then one of the geese started setting. There are already 14 goose eggs in the 'bator. Now she is...

    Our weekend goose shed build.

    We wanted a simple shed that our geese could use to get out of the weather if they chose too. The lot where the geese currently reside will not be their permanent home, so we wanted some portability to the shed. We also wanted the shed to be able to be used for other things if we decide that...
