Kids names are Britt, Sarah, Mallory, Sam, and Nick. We enjoy our own little piece of hevean here. We just went outside and found where my hen turkey has been stashing her eggs. It was like Easter.
Hello,
We are from Southwest Missouri. We have a small farm where we raise a couple pigs, lotsa ducks, lotsa rabbits, lotsa chickens, and lotsa lotsa kids.
Good evening folks from Southwest Missouri. Hope all is well. I pray your larders are stocked and barns full of hay. It was a beautiful day here on our little piece of heaven. I took my three year old daughter on a walk down our long driveway and she wanted to run back, so we did. Our hay...
A few years ago, my father started showing severe health problems, almost to the point of death. Well, he found out that he was allergic to wheat and wheat by-products.
He and my mother have started a company with all gluten free products. The sky is the limit. Their website is...
Well, I am in no way a rabbit expert. We started with one runt male and by the end of the week, we had 13. We immediately became overwhelmed with rabbits and a rabbit food bill. A friend called and had a buck, a doe, and 8 babies. We took them. The day after I removed the babies from mom...
My family and I live in a rural part of Missouri. We have five children and my wife and I both have to work outside the home. We are both 36 years old and I wouldn't even say we are middle class. We are working class. We love the Lord, we work hard, we love our kids, and are doing our...
Finally, My first batch of eggs is hatching as I type. I have 21 eggs and so far seven are out and many more are pecking through their homes. It is awesome to think how that yellow liquid yolk has now turned into a chicken. God is awesome! Barred Rocks and RIR's.
I HAVE BABIES!!!! 24 days in the bator and they are here. I had 21 eggs, five are out and fluffy, and many more are pecking through their home as I type. I am so proud. I got worried when they weren't here on day 21. Barred rocks and RIR's
A good friend of mine just brought me four young mallards this afternoon. Three hens and a drake. It has been raining here for what seems like forever and these ducks stunk so bad the smell stained onto my hands. I think they were swimming in a sewage lagoon.
I have a bit of a delimma. I currently have gold laced wyondottes with rooster and barred rocks with rooster in the same pen. So basically, I have thirteen hens and two roosters. My problem is, only five of the thirteen hens are laying. How do you tell barred rock eggs from wyondotte eggs...
I just recently purchased two guinne fowl and I know that at least one of them is a hen due to the egg I found in their private lodging. How do you tell a rooster from a hen?
Good morning! Luckily my wife is as addicted as I am. We have a local sale barn with several high quality breeders who bring in their stock on a weekly basis. We have to talk each other out of raising our hand at auction. We are contemplating silkies. RIR are our favorites and constantly bid...
My wife and I are new to the forum and new to raising chickens. WE ARE ADDICTED!! We started with five Gold Laced Wyondotte hens a rooster and seven barred rock hens and a rooster. I built a coop and quickly found ourselves wanting more and different types of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese...
