I found this plant behind my house and am not sure what kind it is, if it is edible, or practically anything about it. Can someone give me some information? I thought it was a green zebra tomato at first but it has a lot of seeds inside like a pepper plant. When I took one off and brought it...
We recently got 8 new chicks for raising then selling. We purchased 6 sapphire gems, 1 americauna, and 1 little barred rock. The barred rock seems to have a crooked toe.
2 days ago when we got them was when we noticed it. It looked like she got her middle toe broken when she was in the brooder...
So it's been a while! The flock is doing great, we are now getting 4 eggs a day(yet to find out who are laying them). We are up to 13 chickens now. The 9 original(3 RIR, 2 BR, 2 LH, 1 ALP, 1 GLW roo) and now 4 new golden buffs. My mother got confused when she went to pick up the chickens(she had...
Hello BYC!
It's been a while! A lot has been going on since the start of the summer and obviously, I haven't been able to post(not that anyone would be particularly interested in that fact :confused:). I wanted to ask a few questions about my chickens and their recent activities.

Hello everyone(who views this post)!
I've been looking into gardening and farming articles - quite extensively I may add - that have awakened my country/southern origins!
I have also discovered 'chicken gardens'. Assuming I am correct, these are gardens filled with herbs, veggies, and all sorts...
The 4 chicks that my family owns include 2 very young (1-1.5 weeks) and 2 older chicks(2-4?). The older chicks have almost all of their feathers but are still very small. I have been noticing the two 'fighting' with each other on occasions. This would include running up to the other bird with...
Hello! My name is Cordelia - though Splashy is my online name(SplashyDashyBomBashi). I would have to say that I've had chickens for quite a while. Back when my family lived on a farm, we had several hens and about 3 roosters. However, we had to sell them when we moved, and I've missed having...
