Desperately seeking stink eye pictures to impersonate my 8 hens! Here's the story... My brother loves to tease me because he knows my girls are my babies. He is forever making KFC jokes and trying to pick which of my girls is the plumpest...you get the picture! Today he emailed me calling...

Hi to all the talented crafters out there! I've been searching for instructions or a picture of an ornament that I think I first saw here, about a year ago! It was a clear plastic ball to hang on the tree, and inside were the "materials" to build your own snowman...like a kit in miniature...

Leave it to me, I have searched the forums and it looks like I'm having the opposite problem with my galvanized waterers (both of them) than previous posters have had. Instead of leaking, my waterers stop dispensing water. What's weird is this just started happening...or maybe it's just now...

Well I've been reading up on "mean girl syndrome" and following everyone's advice as best as I can...and now I'm at the point where I don't know what to do next. In a nutshell: I have five pullets at point of lay or close to it, and three "mean girls" who are one year old. My goal is to have...

because they had just been moved to their new coop, or maybe because there were babies in their old coop...and what better way to show displeasure than to slow down the egg production? After a wonderful winter with two or three eggs every day from my three hens, spring arrived with day after...

I've got three hens, one year old, who are determined not to accept the five babies, now 14 weeks old, that I got this spring. The hens free range in the yard all day and the babies are mostly confined to their coop & run. My big girls will go up to the run and peck at the hardware cloth. If...

Hello all, I'm doing a shed conversion and I'm stuck right from the get-go! Trouble is, I keep reading all the posts, and everyone has their own ideas about what works for them, but now I've got so many ideas in my head I don't know what to do to make it right! First of all I read up on poop...

Seems like only yesterday I was posting baby pictures. Now they are six weeks old and getting bigger by the minute...and I am starting to sweat it out. This is the only part of raising chickens that I don't like! Very nervous about ending up with a roo that I won't be able to find a home...

We lost our first chicken today to a predator...our BR...not quite one year old. Beyond the shock and grief I'm trying to figure out what happened so hopefully I can take steps to keep our other hens safe. We live in a neighborhood...houses close together, small yards, I've never seen anything...

If there's anything cuter than a baby chick, I just don't know what it is!! Welcome home to our new babies...left to right are Dorothy, Lola, Penny, Maggie & Bunny!

One week from today we will choose our five baby chicks from the feed store! Very excited, and also very nervous, because last year, one of our pullets turned out to be a cockerel and it broke our hearts to give him up. According to the feed store, all of the chicks they sell are female, but...

I'm a huge fan of Lee Child's "Jack Reacher" book series and was thrilled to hear they were making a movie...until I heard who they cast to play Jack Reacher: Tom Cruise...the total opposite of Jack Reacher in every way imaginable. Has anyone seen the movie? Would love to hear opinions...

Well the holidays are over and I'm thinking SPRING -- we are planning a shed conversion to a nice large coop and expanding our flock of 4 to 8 or 10 chickens! I'd like some advice on what would be the best chickens to introduce to our flock, or what we should steer clear of. Right now we have...

This is my favorite Christmas gift ever...from my 11 year old daughter. She made them out of Sculpey clay. I cried when I opened the box! Left to right we have Cornelia, our Golden Comet...Nellie, our RIR, Raven, our BR, Buttercup, our Buff Orpington, and Chipmunk, our Speckled Sussex who...

Here's the fallout from Christmas. My main gift to my brother (disabled) turns out to be a dud. He doesn't want it. The gift was a juke box that plays cds...which he loves to play his cds...but obviously not on the juke box. He has also in years past turned his nose up at the box set dvds...

I'd love your feedback...there has to be a catch to it, but darned if I can see it. I've only used it twice...already received a check in the mail, and just got an email that I'm getting $7.40 back on a purchase I made at Sears online today. You know if it sounds too good to be true it usually...

Looks like winter has blown over to the east coast...cold and WINDY today...so windy I really didn't want to let my chickens out to play. But I felt bad for them stuck in their run all day, so out they came. I have never laughed so hard...the wind was blowing, the chickens were running around...

I'm sure at least some of us occasionally take pictures of something besides our chickens! Have you ever had a chicken pop up unexpectedly in a picture? This pic was taken of my brother at Thanksgiving...and with apologies to my brother, my favorite part of the pic is our Golden Comet...

I guess this is my dumb question of the day...lol...so many of the threads I've been enjoying refer to "Stan" and I'm trying to learn, is Stan somebody's rooster or is "Stan" like an alias for SuperRoo? This has been driving me crazy!

I got my specimen ballot in the mail yesterday and once again I am annoyed by the so-called important issues that make it on to the ballot, while there are so many REAL issues that we citizens never get to vote on. Here in Maryland, the life-or-death issues are whether to allow table games at...
