    Pysanky Eggs?

    Where I'm from, they're called "Czech Eggs," and when I was student teaching in Art, we made them for weeks on end! Thanks to the previous poster who recommended the Best Pysanky website--I've now just purchased myself a kit! Blessings!

    Photographers...question about Canon L lenses

    I have had the opportunity to shoot with the 100-400mm f/4-5.6. It's a great lens, obviously! When it comes down to it, there's really no question--go with the one that allows you to change your focal length without having to walk closer or further away from your subject. Especially, as you...

    Who here is into Photography?

    To answer the OP, I have been into photography for quite some time. For Christmas I received a Canon 7D, and I've really been enjoying the shots I get with it. I don't use it on the farm, simply because my goats and horses are far too friendly and they have a tendency to be a little rough. On...

    Flooring on a new Chicken Coop... Is chicken wire OK

    I wouldn't suggest it. Years ago, another "chicken lady" I knew had a setup with that, and her chickens broke their toes. If you had larger birds like turkeys, it would probably be okay, but if I were you, I'd do what's best for the chickens--use plywood, and just clean the coop out. (The only...

    Identify Striped chick please

    Those definitely look like Gold Comets to me! I bought the exact same ones at Tractor Supply, and after about three hours of researching what they were, I came to the conclusion that they were, indeed, Gold Comets. Gold Comets have that signature "brown chipmunk" stripe down their back. Enjoy...

    Bantam Chicks Dying in the First Week

    I am using a galvanized oval tank as a brooder (it's what I've used for the past 10 years every time I get chicks in). They are on PINE (NOT CEDAR!) bedding. The flakes are too big for them to eat, and it's not fragrant. They are on a medicated chick starter. I ground it up a little more so the...

    Bantam Chicks Dying in the First Week

    I purchased 35 Bantam Cochin chicks from McMurray Hatchery. They were shipped last Friday. I picked them up from the post office early Monday morning. Upon acquiring them, I dipped their beaks in water with Quick Chick in it and showed them the feed. They all started eating and scurrying around...
