    So, day 21 doesn't officially start until 5pm tonight.. but this morning at 6 am I heard a faint little peep from the bator while doing dishes.. I wandered over, shined the flashlight in the bator and saw one egg has a tiny hole in it. Good to know since those brown eggs aren't too easy to...

    Butchered chickens for the first time today

    Well I went out to check on the chickens today and noticed two of my cornish x rocks were starting to have difficulty walking. They didn't come running to the feed dish when I dumped the feed in. Usually they're at the dish before I am. I watched as they labored to "hop" to the feed dish. I...

    I have nothing to rant/vent about.

    Just thought I'd share that eventhough I've had my share of "bad stuff" happen, I have not a single thing to complain about. I have a roof over my head. I have food in my belly. I have a wife who loves me. I have a job. Just remember no matter how bad you think you've got it, 95% of the world...

    So it's just about dusk, the beagles are out in the yard playing.. then they both start howling like crazy.. I mean really going nuts.

    Just getting started...

    And the best place to start is research. So, I'm heavily considering starting a mini-chicken farm to supply the family with eggs and meat. I've done some basic "figuring" and have come up with a coop design. For the egg production their section will be 20'x16' with a 4' wide, 16' long 3' high...
