Ok so i got these chicks a the first week of April. The Rooster was a week older than the other chicks then and was bigger than them. I posted pics on here and because of the white one the bottom of his feet everyone agreed he was an Australorp. Well now its may and the hens are bigger than he...
We just got new chicks 6 hens and a mystery roo from the straight run group. The Straight runs were not clearly bantys or standards so i just picked a large looking roo to take home with the girls. We think he might be a java. You cant see it in the pics but has white on his wings. Feet are...
A few people on the Tennis team here was wondering if we could get some hats because most of our season takes place before the last frost. I've been telling the coach how we need hats because 60% of your body heats lost threw your head. However we dont have a lot of funding. Does anyone on here...
We have a project for Physics at my school that involves dropping an egg off the top of the Football Bleachers. If the egg lands safely w/o breaking we get an A. We can use whatever we want for materials. No Parachutes,wings, gliders, etc. The container must be no larger than 25 cm by 25cm by...
During the summer we thinned our flock down to just 6 birds. 5 hens and our Roo. Then in October a bobcat got in and now we have no birds at all. We are thinking of getting more birds this spring. However we dont know what breeds we want. We are looking at just 6 birds again because we cant...
I have been and still am Foolishly young. I was very lucky to make it this far in my life never having lost anyone. I had a saying that went "People and Dogs Never Die" because although i had had a dog die before i never saw him and thus i could easily pretend he had just gone to some new...
Ok so I was looking at the ongoing shows and I'm shocked to see we are missing some seasonal favorites! :
1) Broody Hen contest
2) Broody w/Babies
3) Ducklings
I have never organized a contest before but if someone could make some or all of these I know many people on here would love to show...
So today I was in town with my dad doing some last minute shopping for my trip, I'm leaving to go on the road with my mom (truck driver) with in the next 2 days, when i recieve a phone call from my brother. He was back at the house watching our Crested Blue Swedish hen walk 7 fuzz butts across...
Does anyone show white leghorns? I have accidentally gotten 2 Roosters and i dont really want to eat them. Im trying to find another use or value for my boys. They are very sweet. If you do show them please post some pics. i hope to get some pics of mine in the morning.
thanks
Last summer i took a roadtrip to Idaho with my Aunt Bo. She 'lives' in Garden City and i toured the Campus of Boise State. I loved it there and am now considering applying there for college in Fall of 2011. My Aunt is a truck driver so she is never at her house and says i could live there if i...
This past Easter the feed had its traditional dyed Easter chicks. In general i never buy them because i have a fear of more roosters. However this year at the HS Band yard sale some boys came by with a green chick that they intended to stick in a microwave. Horrified one of the kids bought the...
Well yesterday was my HS Junior Senior Prom and it was a blast. We had it at the Texas Motor Speedway - there is a large hotel thing attached to it ~ we didn't dance on the track or anything weird. This was my second prom and i had a lot of fun. The theme was "The Midnight Mascaraed" although it...
I just found out i get this whole next week off from school! Tomorrow me and and some friends are going to the zoo (we haven't been in forever and it'll be fun). I don't know what i'm doing Tuesday. Wednesday we get to make some Pies and Thursday is the big day! We still didn't manage to get a...
Earlier this year my cousin came to live with us. With him came a UNFIXED female Basset named Deadwood. My aunt and uncle (truckers) wanted to breed her this December - her 2 yr birthday. Unfortunately Deadwood went into heat earlier this month. In my house all the dogs were fixed at a young...
PLEASE KEEP IT CIVIL!
Ok Lately I have heard a lot of up roar here about how horrible "Obama's Health Plan" is. (It Obama's mind you even though many people wrote it) I decided that I would go ahead and read some of it, and frankly, this is just my opinion, it sounds really good. The News...
This is the first year that we have ever had 2 snakes. We had a large 43 inch female about 9 weeks ago and then today (in the middle of the day mind you) we had a large 54 inch male. They both were Texas Rat Snakes and really pretty representations of the species. I was going to keep the male...
Over the last week I got to go on a roadtrip between Texas and Idaho. I never realized before how magnificant the US was. Needless to say I took a TON of pics. Here are a few of mine; Feel free to share some pics of your own.

I know most of the people here will probably say they prefer to live in the country because of poultry owning benefits. However, I have now lived in the country 4 years and I miss the city horribly. Why do you guys like your location? Why do you dislike your location?
It seems to me that as...
My cousin is coming to live with us and he needs to bring his dog, a basset hound, with him. We have pretty much settled that the cheapest way to get him from Idaho to Texas is by plane. Now we need to find out how to ship the dog as well. PLEASE let me know of any sites/companies that are...
Today has been kind of a rough day for me. For starters its that time of the month so I am naturally irritiable. I started out happy and bouncing, in spite of being horribly sore from marching band. Then around dinner I picked a fight with my brother in which he told me his happiest time was...
