    Stonington, IL

    Right now we can not have chickens. What I need is anyone around the Stonington area that your town or village allows chickens please let me know. I am trying to compile a list of the area that allows backyard chickens to take before the village board. Thanks for any help

    Free Roosters Decatur, IL

    I have 3 very beautiful and amorous roosters that need new homes. They are driving my girls crazy. 2 are Americauna/Silver Laced Wyandotte mixes and the other is a Polish/Silkie mix. They were hatched in October. If you are looking for boys with long blonde hair these are the boys for you.

    Raccoon 2 me 0

    Yesterday we lost 2 of our chickens to what I am sure was a raccoon. Our neighbor caught a baby about 2 weeks ago, so I am sure momma raccoon finally found out we have chickens.

    How to get your family to drink milk

    I found a wonderful Amish lady that sells fresh cows milk. I have bought 3 gallons at different times. The milk is amazing so rich and creamy. The problem is I am the only one who will drink it.
