Do you still have the rooster? If he is not an aggressive rooster I will consider homing him for you. I have 8 hens and my girls are pets, though they earn their keep by keeping us all happy with the fresh delicious eggs they provide. I live in Columbia County NY which is about 2 hours from...

I put a 60 watt light bulb inside of a construction block, the waterer is sitting in a pie plate on top of the block and the water has not frozen in the below 0 temps so far.

I caught it last night also and was completely disappointed. It sucks now without the original panel. I did enjoy steven Tyler though!! I don't think I'll be watching that show anymore.

I stay at a place called The Aerie Inn of vermont in East Dorset. Sweet place off the road with a big meadow in front and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Owned and operated by lovely people who make you feel right at home and like you are long time friends. Beautiful scenery and...

good morning.....I haven't read through the entire post, just some of the arguing. It is early and I'm still working on my 1st cup of coffee. I live in NY state and from my understanding all predator birds, all hawk species, owls, eagles, etc are protected to the extend that if you even have a...

Great shot!!

can you share the recipe. This sounds wonderful and I would love to try it!!

Beautiful!! great job and your gardens are beautiful also.

My girls have just started laying their eggs the end of Sept. to just a few days ago. I have 8 chicks I got in May, 5 are now laying. I put a light with a timer in their coop to go on at 4:30am just this evening. I am hoping it will encourage the last 3 to start and keep the other 5 from...

I have been worried about my girls also. I have picked up anything in the yard that could become a missle, at least I think so. Tomorrow I have to make sure the tarps on my coop are lashed down really good. I am afraid if the wind as is bad as they are saying, they will rip off no matter how...

I am now getting 4 eggs every other day, 3 eggs on the other days. so, I guess I have one skipping a day. 2 green and 2 brown!! Yeah!!! I'm not sure who is and who's not!! I haven't been able to catch anyone busy in the coop!! I've been eating a lot more scrambled eggs lately!!!

Mabel is in the top photo and the second one is Sandy on her 1st adventure outside.

I was so disappointed there was no more eggs yesterday or this morning. Do they start slow?? I thought once one started there would be another egg the next day.

I got my first egg yesterday. It is a tiny little green egg. I have it next to a medium store bought egg for comparison! LOL I'm not sure which hen did the deed, but my girl Carol was acting a bit strange yesterday, so I am thinking it was her. I was so excited to find this in the box and was so...

I love this idea. I ant to put a swing perch in my run also. Do your girls like it??

Oh, I do the same thing. I just got home from work and know I need to do some cleaning and organizing, but after I finish my lunch I'm headed out to the back to let the girls out of the run so they can have sometime pecking around the yard. I'm sure there are some weeds that need to be pulled...

That was my worry!! LOL. I drove down and ran into my neighbor at the local watering hole, so I hung out and ate there instead of bringing it home. I wouldn't have had to worry about that picnic basket after all! sorry to hear your pest was back. What did you put the bacon grease on?

Some threads you shouldn't read before going for a walk!! I also live in an area where bears are not uncommon. Late spring/early summer we had a black bear hanging out on our road for a few weeks. Most of the time he wasn't any trouble. He got into a shed at my neighbors and helped himself to...

I am so excited to read your stories. You have a great skill!!! I am also new to raising chickens and it is all a learning experience for me. I too built my first coop to high off the ground and not tall enough to stand up straigt in. Cleaning is a challenge and I KNOW my next try at a coop will...

I believe the gray powder is from the Calcium Bentonite that is added to the DE. I looked it up before I bought it and the CB is a clay with other mineral nutriants. I learned about DE from a friend who had the white powder she was using for herself. She loves the stuff and says it has helped...
