    Petitioning against HR 875

    Hey All- Long time no see...I don't know if anyone has seen this but here it goes. Shawn was just reading this to me and it sort of raised my hackles. For what it's worth I am sharing it with you since I know you are all, like me, backyard chicken (as well as other livestock) farmers. This...

    Update on my 27 Barred Rocks peeps...with pictures.

    Sorry if the pictures are too big. I have no way of minimizing them. I need to download a different program. I hope you get to see them. Just wanted to update everyone on the 27 peeps that made it. They are now on their 3rd week and boy are they HUGE! I can't believe how much they've grown...

    About the new peeps...this week! ADVICE needed!!!

    I should be getting my other 25 peeps either tomorrow (ugh!) or the following day (UGH!). I have one concern and was wondering if you could help put my mind at ease. As I mentioned...I plan on separating the peeps that come this week from the peeps that are here now just because of pecking...

    A funny thing happened today...

    I noticed one of the chick's bum was all cruddy. (Oh no! That's how I lost a chick on my last brood!) So, I get some warm water, two paper towels...and try to get comfy for I know this is going to take a while! I am sitting in their brooder for almost half an hour being as gentle as can be...

    About the new chicks next week...

    Hey- Call me paranoid but...well, I am! My question is this. When I get my 25 chicks next week...should I separate them from the current ones in the same room or different rooms? I don't have the space for a different room to separate but I could do something if it has to be that way...

    The Peeps are here...some bad news. -UPDATE-I am at a loss...HELP! :o(

    ---VENT TIME!!!--- I don't know whether to be mad or sad! My emotions run around within like crazy. I ordered 25 Welsummers and 25 Buff Catalanas from Welp, almost a month ago, to be delivered this week. They had THEM available to order...no big deal! Earlier this week they call to say...

    Games...and such.

    Just an FYI. When you are responding to an answer look at the previous person's response as you're typing your reply (just below your window...you can scroll down a bit) to see if someone has already posted the answer and posed a different question. I have had to revise a lot of my stuff because...

    Chicks not here...yet. : o( ~

    OK! So, I've been on pins and needles all night and onto this morning! Welp was suppose to ship the 50 chicks yesterday but it was SO wicked cold this morning (1 degree) and I've been fretting about it...calling the PO. "No...no chicks yet, we'll call you SIR!" Well, I finally broke down and...

    Joke: A Senior Special

    We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "Senior Special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99. "Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs." "Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents. Because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress...

    a...b...c...

    I propose a game whereby we start with a word beginning with the first letter of the alphabet and ending with the second letter b and continue on down (start with b end with c) until we get to z to start again...and again and again. For example: Arab next person would say something like...

    How often...

    do you eat eggs on a weekly basis? Just curious. I tend to eat eggs daily and I know this is probably not good for me but I love them! Are they really that bad? Pedro

    My hen is just sitting listless in nest box...

    ..and I don't know what to do? I noticed she was squatting to the ground yesterday and when I went by her she didn't move. She just looked at me go by. Normally they react and scatter so it sort of worried me. I picked her up held her in my arm and felt around for any abnormality or foreign...

    OK! My turn...caption this please?

    I caught Makuli (Pit-bull cross) sharing her Koo-Koo bed with her buddy Johnny Bravo (Mutt Kitten) and I snapped some pictures. This is the only one that turned out good enough to post. LOL! Makuli has a brown/blue eye and you can barely see the blue in it...her other eye is brown (the one...

    I've lost my mind...

    I finally broke down and ordered 50 MORE chicks from Welp! I ordered 25 Welsummers & 25 Catalanas. EEEK! The latter just looked SO pretty and are good dual purpose birds. Plus the slightly tinted eggs did me in. I ordered Straight Run because I plan to process all the roos and keep a few...

    chickens in the snow...(Story with PICS!)

    Well, today the weather decided to give us a break! The chickens were ever too happy to be out and free in their yard. However, they dared not go onto that white stuff... ...they all walked single file within the paths shoveled JUST for them! The roosters started to fight each other...

    Good bye Clara...

    Hello- Today, I noticed one of my bantam hens struggling to get. up She kept falling on her side/wing. When I picked her up she seemed to not be in any physical distress but I knew she was struggling-inwards. I didn't like the idea of putting her down but if she was in pain...that had to be...

    To wash or not to wash...eggs

    Hey Gang- I need some feedback. While a friend was over, I went to collect eggs. When I went to put them away he asked, "Aren't you going to wash them first?" I shrugged and said, "I only wash them if they have poop or blood on them..." He turned green under the gills and said, "but, they...

    Pavarotti/Pavie the chick: Update...

    A while back I had posted a picture of my new Blue Andalusian chick that was born in August. At first I thought she was a he and so I called him Pavarotti. Then I posted his/her picture on here to ask if indeed it was a cockrel or a pullet and most folks said it looked like a pullet. (OK, I was...

    Some things I am confused about...help. please?

    OK! I know this is probably going to be redundant but, and I apologize ahead of time, I don't mean it to be. So, here are my questions. (I have checked previous posts to see if the answers were on them and was unable to find them...is why I ask) For the Apple Cider Vinegar in the water: What...

    Venting...

    Today was *clean the coops" day! Yay! It went real well cleaning the bantam coop. If you overlook Dieggo chasing Sunny around in the run. They normally avoid each other during the night when they are umm, cooped up (no pun intended) together but, during the day - Dieggo stays out while Sunny...
