    Safer Brooder, Sweeter Sleep

    A group that I am in on Facebook has a nonprofit charity that they run. I decided to apply to see if I would qualify, which I did! They sent me a Cozy Coop heating plate to replace my dangerous Heat Lamp!!! So here it is set up. Now I have a much safer brooder for my babys which means I'll be...

    Creative grooming

    Who here knows about Creative Grooming? I adore it and while I'm no where near as talented as others. The most I do is dye my dogs head and tail but I have plans on leapord spotting him the white parts of his body.

    Starting fresh 2.0

    So. I took some advice and redid my list. Taking out the polish and adding in some extras to make sure I get the 15 minimum. So what do you guys think of these selections?? Btw I live in mid Michigan and I think what I've picked will be good in our weather.

    Starting Fresh

    So since I just lost my flock to a coon I decided to order more chicks. While they are in the broader I can do my modifications to the coop to secure it better. I never ordered from a hatchery before and I'm shocked at just how expensive the minimum order of 15 are! But I'm buying these with my...

    When will they lay?

    I was looking around to see just when I could expect eggs out of my Ameraucanas and Olive Eggers. Am I reading things right that it takes up to 30 weeks or longer before they start laying?! That means these little buggers I hatched on Easter won't start giving me eggs till NOVEMBER!!!

    Goober

    I got Goober and Giblet as gifts a little before Easter. They are White and Bronze Broad Breasted turkeys. This is the first time I ever have raised turkeys and so far I'm enjoying the little nuggets. Goober has by far turned out to be my favorite, I spend a lot of time with him. I can't wait...

    Webbed feet

    I hatched an Olive Egger chick on Easter and noticed something weird. It's toes are webbed on both feet. Now the one foot doesn't bother me but the other one does. I feel like it should be cut but I just don't know what to do to be honest. Could anyone help me?
