    Sweet feed

    Ok, ive been trying to find others who actually use this as a food source as i do for chickens. I cant locate anything. That being the case, i felt a new thread was a good idea. Ive been feeding this to my ADULT birds for about 6 months now. I live in northern Ohio where we get freezing tedmps...

    Mottled Cochin bantam rooster

    He was hatched last year. Has been vaccinated for Laryngo, Newcastle, bronchitis, bursal, and one other- can't remember off hand. I'd prefer not to ship. I may be able to include a couple of his girls eggs for hatching, if he is picked up. He is healthy and in good condition.

    Federal law usually trumps local. Might be a way to keep your birds...

    I recently learned a way to protect my birds, and exempt myself from any local stupidity my rule makers think up. I had to make my poultry a "business" and report sales revenue to the IRS. After 3 years Uncle Sam considers my property under "agricultural use". My property taxes go down...

    Obama isnt very bright! May need advice.

    I've started a new flock. I was able to get a few started fancies, from which came Obama and Biden. Both are Polish pullets, about 12 weeks old now. About 20 minutes ago I found Obama standing in the duck(Aflak)'s baby pool. Maybe 3" deep. She was wet, weak, twitching and opening and closing her...
