For what it's worth- I have a French Angora, and I do spin her coat, though I do blend it with a wool (generally a Merino or Rambouillet) as the Angora fiber is slick and doesn't hold a twist nearly as well on it's own. The French sheds (blows) the coat 3 times a year. No shearing is needed, but...

Haven't been on in ages between extreme work hours and now one surgery completed 3 weeks ago and another in less than 3 weeks. A few months ago I lost my dear sweet mild blue silkie rooster. Have been looking locally but haven't found anything. His hens miss him as much as I do. I don't show...

It's been some time since I posted, but I wanted to give an update. I treated the bird with the Vitamin E, Selenium and B12 Complex for about a week. The bird in the video has survived and is doing well. I also added Selenium to the water of all the other birds for about a month and changed...

What is the correct dosing of birds of different ages/weights for both the vitamin E/selenium as well as the vaccine? My flock consists of all ages right now. Is there a specific water soluble, over the counter vitamin that can just go in the water (like something I would buy for myself at the...

Brief video uploaded. Working on more video uploads. Darn slow internet Can anyone tell if this is Marek's, or what it might be?

I had a pullet die a few weeks back. Now another is not doing well. The symptoms are different this time. Easier to show than explain, but our slow internet connection says it will take 4.5 hours for the video to upload. In the meantime,does anyone have video of early onset stages of Mareks...

Often when a bird is rehomed, they will stop laying for a while until they become comfortable with their new surroundings. Give her some time. She will lay when she is ready.

I bought my first chicks last year from Chicken Scratch Poultry. You could check them out.

Cute kids and ducklings Stacy. Chickenstock won't be happening for me either. No time for anything but work and chores. DH in surgery again getting 2 more plates in his leg along with artificial bone graphs. Tomorrow is 8 months since the accident, and this surgery will set him back nearly...

Just curious, Rumbull. How long has it taken your project to get to this point? When did you start? This kind of progress just doesn't happen overnight.

According to weather.com, the current temp is 33, but feels like 29 with fog. This is probably your lowest temp of the night, so you might be okay.

ISO blue polish day old chicks or eggs. Was supposed to be a gift for MIL on Mother's Day, but the order was messed up. Lost her DH a year ago to cancer, and need to get her active with something. Please contact via PM if anyone has any or any leads to this breed. Thank you

ISO Blue Polish day old chicks or eggs. Had an order made for chicks, but messed up by the feed store. Was supposed to be for MIL on Mother's Day. It's the only breed/variety she really wants. Lost her DH a year ago (cancer) and just want to get her active in something. Can anyone...

20 degrees here this morning. Apple blossoms just started coming out a few days ago. So disappointed at what the damage might be. Fresh asparagus just came into the store I work at. The grower was in yesterday, told me a predicted low of 17 was expected and that they were going to brush hog...

Thank you. She laid another one yesterday, buried deep in the hay of the nest.

My peahen just laid this year's first egg 2 days ago. I'm wondering how often they lay since there was no egg yesterday. She looked as if she wanted to lay one, but I didn't find anything.

Remember the "Pokey" Not chicken related, but just wanted to share anyway. Took care of the chickens this morning and went to work. Once I got there, I got a text from my DH. Seems my mini mare decided to have her mini mule foal last night. Here he is, measuring 24", looking just like...

Nice coop Nova. I've been working on my new little coop as well. So far, no additional expense as I am repurposing wood from a project that was rebuilt last fall. No plans, but loosely following a coop online that is selling for over $2K. I wonder how many $2K coops they can actually sell...
