I bought a vacuum sealer years ago and hated the thing. I usually use plastic double bagged with air squeezed out and/or freezer paper, but my freezing of stuff isn't very long term, especially with a couple DP birds here and there. My order of CX is almost ready for processing. With the...

TY! TY! to whoever recommended the game shears. I got the combo kit with the skinning knife. DS and I hung a milk jug on a 3ft T-post with a couple zip ties over a 5 gallon bucket. I used the knife for the killing and a slit in the skin and the shears for the rest. Much to my DH's dismay I...

He's approx 5mnths old. Asking $10. For pick-up in the Independence, KS area or will be traveling to Hutchinson this weekend via Wichita and would consider a drop off en-route. We're interested in blue silkies and standard buff brahmas at the moment and would consider trades.

My DDs class is doing the hatching. It's now day 26 and no chicks. The teacher and I established Plan B at the beginning. Plan B- after school while my DH watches the kids at home, I run to the feed store, get some chicks, meet teacher and swap the chicks and eggs. Should we implement this...

I was at the TSC on E Kellogg in Wichita yesterday. Of course I looked at the day old babies, but I stayed strong and resisted the urge. On my way back out, I saw some more tanks off to another side, 1 with a big orange sale sticker. $0.50 for asst bantams. I did resist, but it was...

I'm looking for 6-12 Silky hatching e-g-g-s for a school project. Would prefer any APA/ABA White - Black - Blue - Buff - Gray - Partridge - Splash so the chicks can also be used for 4-H. Would prefer to pick-up. OK/MO/KS area. Wichita-Tulsa-Bartlesville-Joplin and surrounding areas.

I have managed to talk my DS out of BBs. We've been going through everything we can find on the diff breeds and we're looking at Blue Ameraucanas. Any Pros/Cons as a choice for show breed? My Pros so far include faster maturing, more readily available and pullets not suitable for show could...

For once coupon clipping really paid off for me. Our Walgreens circular has several Kelloggs products on sale. Either last week or the week before there were Kelloggs coupons in the paper. Walgreens deal had 3 buy certain Kelloggs products/amounts and you got a register rewards coupon worth...

I have 4 of 6 laying now. The top hen has been laying almost 6wks longer than anyone else. She's also bigger and definately the boss. No roos with them as of yet. If I go to pet the 2 who are not laying yet, they crouch and sidle away. The 4 who are laying including the top hen, hunker down...

My pretty/cheap coop has a floor, wall supports and half a wall at this point. I got tile squares for the floor, tons of hinges from the restore, a roll of hardware cloth, lots of scrap wood....and I've had to halt construction. DH (the D doesn't stand for dear at this moment) kindly pointed...

I have 3 almost 14wk old EE/Buff Brahma X's that I'm on roo watch for. EE mom, BB dad. I have scoured pics from both breeds, but it hasn't helped make a determination. I know the BBs are slow growers and wonder if this will affect how soon I can tell the difference. Just what all is slower...

I'm looking for 2 Buff Brahma pullets for pickup. Standard not Bantam. Anytime in next couple of months. Areas for me would be Independence, Joplin, Bartlesville and between Independence/Wichita. I may have some EE/Brahma X roos to trade. I may also already have a BB roo. If My BB is a roo...

OMG!! If you could ensure quiet hens this coop would never get noticed. http://henspa.com/hencondo.htm Course if you have super nosy neighbors they might wonder why you're always hanging around the trash.

Two blocks down sitting in the driveway is something that looks like this except it looked all metal. There were brooder lamps attached too. http://store.valentineinc.com/fidepobabr.html It's for poultry right? I didn't see anything else like a coop. There are surely birds somewhere...

We've had chickens since mid February. Didn't know if it was legal or not. I found out this weekend that it was but we needed to get a permit from the city clerk. So I call city clerks office to see if I could even find anyone who knew where they kept them. I was told by the clerks office I...

I've decided the babies need a bigger coop. I have 1 ugly coop for the big girls that DH built and a small temp for the babies. DS and I think we can do better. DH brings home pallets from work, so materials will come primarily from there. I'm shooting for a 2 story built as 2 units so we can...

We got different answers from everyone we talked to. Our city doesn't have any online resources. We got the chickens anyways. Are they outlaws??? Now that we have them are we exposing ourselves by still trying to get the answers? Our local library keeps a copy of city codes and ordinances...

I really wanted some blue or green eggs and after the chicks we bought didn't make it, I promised I'd find some older birds to buy. I was planning on getting some from the fair. My DS is in 4-H and DHs dog got 1 of his entries. you have to have 3 identical and we only now have 2. I came...

I'm a city girl and after years of begging by DH and kids finally agreed to chickens. I have made quite a few mistakes. To be honest I thought "Not my thing, won't have much to do with them, no need to learn as DH and kids will take care of, etc..." Don't know what I could have been thinking...
