    I think I lost a chicken today

    Ive heard people say goats keep the hawks away, and Im starting to think there is something in that theory. I have 2 pygmy goats, and very few hawks, even hear in the woods. In the spring time I have a few that hang around, but they leave after a couple of weeks. It looks like they are looking...

    Husband in Hospital !!

    Hugs to you and your family! I went through the same thing a couple of years ago. Out of the blue, at age 25, I had a seizure. DH just happened to walk out of the shower and see me having it. Called doctor once the whole thing had really set in. Called the doc, and he said to go to the ER. They...

    Haven't posted in a while...few questions for ya!

    As long as you pick the eggs up everyday, it would take close inspection for someone to see that its fertile. You will see a small bullseye in the yolk, thats it. No other difference But in defence of your DH, I had a bit of a hard time at first. Didnt take long to grow out of it! Congrats on...

    Bantam Vs. Standard

    I like my little banty girls, but worry about them too much. I am very slowly turning my flock from bantam to standard size for a couple or reasons. Mostly because 1 DH wants larger eggs (gotta accomadate the one who buys the feed ) 2. Hawks come around often, and I let my flock free range. 3...

    Ok..I did it...He's home!!! I got a rooster!!!

    what I found works best for leg mites is mineral oil with a few drops of tea tree oil. Never had luck with the vasaline. Of course all my chooks at the time had feathered legs, that may have made a big difference. Good luck with your new boy. I love roosters, they just add something to the...

    Birds Inside?!

    I have my 2 chicks indoors. But they are in a cage most of the day. Too dangerous to let them out with a high speed toddler around hehe. In the evenings they get to come out and play. They wander the house and after awhile settle onto mine or DHs sholder and sleep. My dog cleans up most of thier...

    why such strong smelly poo?

    My two barnyard special chicks, probably about 4-5 weeks old now (given to me with no idea how old they were) have a really pungent smelling poo. Its been like this since Ive gotten them. Ive had chicks several times, but they have never smelled this bad. Any ideas? They are in the house most of...

    For those curious about snakes...

    Just have to say...I really really hate snakes. But I live in the woods, so have to respect them. Ive found them in the coop, on the walk up to the house and in the grass, but I do not kill them. Fortunatly I have not seen a poisionous on <knock on wood> so my views may change then since I have...

    her comb is nasty...

    Might try some Vitimins & Electorlites in thier water. Could be that the heat is causing them to eat as much, thus getting a lower amount of needed nutrients. Just a though, Shannon
