A baby calf. His mom didn't make it so he's in the backyard...with the chickens...and the chicks...and the pheasants...and the quail...and the fish...
My life is so full...
...chewing on something he shouldn't...
...using my pant's leg as a binkey...
It looks kinda like broken up oyster shell. They scraped it off a boat rudder so I figured it was mostly barnicles but that's not what it looks like. I'm sure it's fine; I'm just wondering if anybody else has used it? Heres a pic:
This is one of the new babies that we hatched in the first pic. The second pic is Sweetie - laying on her side...under my chin. They really seem to like it there...
I've got a broody buff orpington so I need one or two dozen guinea eggs...quick. I'm in Rockport, (south) Texas so if you are near us, we could pick them up.
Hadn't thought about this until now. I heard the pheasants making their alarm call and went outside to see what was up. A very nice man was spraying the yard outside my neighbors house. I said hello and told him I heard my birds and he immediately said he was being careful not to get the...
See her on the bottom left? This little wild quail has chosen to live with us in the backyard. She comes and goes as she pleases. We know that some day, she won't come back, but for now she's happy. Silly little quail...
Better known as a Moringa (Moringa oleifera) tree. If you don't, you might look into it. It is very nutritious, easy to grow in pots and lots more. 7 times the vitamin C of oranges, 4 times more calcium than milk, 4 times more vitamin A than carrots, 3 times the potassium of bananas, 2 times...
This picture was taken just after a marriage proposal on Christmas Day. All the photos before the proposal were normal; nothing unusual looking at all. It was such a loving moment and all of us watching were in tears of joy; so much love in the room because it was so beautiful. I like to...
....(sigh)...Well, we have a little female blue quail living in the backyard.
They aren't native to south Texas. She was released by a hunting club and survived the hunt and started hanging around with our cattle. The little thing had a sore leg but was running between the hooves when we'd...
When I was in college, I took a night class that had me on a very lightly traveled country road in the late evening. I was about 12 miles from home when suddenly...'BOOM!'..there was a huge explosive 'flash' right is front of my windshield! Scared the begeebers out of me! It was the middle of...
It really is! Or something...

There is a good article that talks about growing feeds to supplement your poultry's commercial feed. It talks about cover crops and sprouting, all kinds of good info (I think anyway). Here is the link...
A friend sent this to me in an email. I was hoping some of you with open minds might read it and comment. I thought it was pretty interesting...

Hi all. I just wanted you to see a pretty well written article with some good info on genetically modified foods. Here it is, and please don't rant over it - discussion is great, just don't get personal, please...
Somebody gifted my membership in BYC up to a Golden Feather Member! That was so sweet and I really appreciate it. Things like this come back to you threefold, so look for some really good things comming to you...
Finally.
I decided that I wanted to be rooster-less for certain last month when my SLW roo started his dominance stuff with my granddaughter. She thought it was funny but for me, it was the icing on the cake. I felt like he was just too rough with the ladies (pulling out feathers, grabbing...
We recently sent 8 cockrels to freezer camp leaving Lola, a limping RIR and 3 pullets in the tractor. The other grown girls and one roo sleep in the playhouse coop for the 'big girls'.
Last night, Lucy Lu (one of the 'big girls and lowest in the pecking order) decided to sleep in the tractor...
