    I guess it's inevitable...

    Devil's Club: Awful Plant, or Worst Plant?

    I assume you know what Devil's Club is (if not, Google it), so I will jump right to my questions: Is it okay to let chickens free range through a temperate forested lot filled to the brim with devil's club? While this plant was designed (most likely) by Satan himself, it would also provide...

    My Freedom Rangers came! Yay!

    My FR came in the mail yesterday! I got 25 of them, and was hoping that none would die on the way to AK, and none did, sooo..... good! They all look hale and hearty, with way more reds and buffs than tricolor. I've been sick for the past week, so this was really nice and uplifting. I showed...

    3 day old chick trying to crow!

    The woman I got him from said he is a Silver Spangled Brahma. I dont know if that exists. I think he's a dark brahma that isnt fully feathered in yet, but I'd like to be sure. There's a full body picture of him. He's the black and white one. This is his face. Are Brahmas allowed to have Single...

    Pullet beating up Cockeral

    My 8 month old (?) pullet is beating up my new 10 month old cockeral! I thought I'd have to worry about him beating her up but I guess not. Because he was bleeding from the base of his comb, I took him out of the pen and have him sleeping in a box in the garage and will try to introduce him...
