    Frozen eggs

    I just put them in the fridge for a couple of day, they'll thaw, and they're edible. We either scramble them, use them in baking, French Toast, etc. We've been collecting frozen eggs for three years with no ill effects, and I'm sure we'll be collecting frozen eggs this winter too! Merry...

    How long will molting last and when will egg production pick up?

    EGGS; WE HAVE EGGS!! Holy mackerel, I went out to feed the girls this morning and found four eggs, later this evening I found two more! Those are EXPENSIVE eggs considering the mash, cracked corn, and black sunflower seeds, pumpkins, and apples they've been eating. (Well, the apples are from...

    How long will molting last and when will egg production pick up?

    We haven't seen an egg in four weeks, due to molt. I tried everything offered, to no avail. I even tacked up "Chicken Recipes" up around the coop, and wrote, "think about it" on the bottom of each picture. The next day I found a photo of a human skeleton pinned to the door with the caption...

    If you were moving cross country would you take your flock?

    I'm one of the 33%'ers. My gut reaction would be no, there are too many variables, with "...cross country" being the biggest consideration. How far is cross country? Next, would be whether or not my new location allowed them, or if my new location had enough land for them to live comfortably...

    Frozen eggs

    I bring them in and wash them as usual. I keep the frozen ones in a separate bowl in the fridge for a couple of days, then use them for baking, French Toast, or scrambled eggs. It was -22 this morning, I have a couple of chickens that won't lay in a nest for some reason. As a result, they...

    Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

    These aren't really "funny", but they're true. I know a guy who wdn't eat anything from a home garden because it all grew in dirt. I know another guy who won't drink well water because he's scared of what might be in it. Another guy wont use home made maple syrup because it comes from trees...

    Mad with a broken heart

    Good point, laydbird; we had a similar problem with some renters" several years ago. They moved into the neighbor-hood with two dogs, even though the apartment they were renting had NO yard. The dog owners simply let their dogs out whenever they had to go to the bathroom, and usually left them...

    Hurricane Sandy

    I was going to spend the day getting ready for the Hurricane but our 5 yr old grandson had a bad case of hives, and my wife had to work. As soon as she got home and we ate, I hooked the generator up to the 5th wheeler, got 20 gallons of gas, filled up all of the propane tanks, (camper heater)...

    facial recognition

    Does anyone know if your chickens can recognize you by sight? When I go anywhere near their run, they go nuts; vying for attention, jockying for position and if I enter the pen, they'll eat out of my hand. They'll come to the fence for my wife, but they don't really care for her being inside...

    So angry! Neighbor is an IDIOT!

    I simply don't put up with neighbors like that, or their dogs. I don't file complaints with the local police, and I don't give them a second chance once warned. I don't know about MN, but NY Ag & Market Laws give property and pet owners specific rights in protecting our property, pets...

    unharmed My chickens got in with my dogs

    I was really nervous aout what might happen if my old dog (Golden) got in amongst the chickens. I should have considered the nature of my dog; she's a wuss. Then we were concerned with our daughter's dog (mixed mutt), who we often dog-sit when necessary, which is several times a week. The...

    I just double-tapped a fox; maybe 15 minutes ago!! My wife had just gone to bed, and called me upstairs, wondering what kind of animal was yipping out back. It's a nice evening, maybe 60 degrees, so the bedroom windows are open. I told her it was a fox, and went for my 9mm Beretta (92F.) We...

    Hosta salad.

    I'm surprised to hear that some people have a hard time growing hosta! I have them around several trees, under two decks, alongside a 54' fence, surrounding two decks other decks, and alongside the neighbors garage, which is within 2' of our property line. (Pre-code enforcement construction.)...

    What is your friendliest Chicken? What breed is it?

    I'm not one to get "touchy feely" with any of my pets, not even my dog or my cat so, while I do feed my chickens treats by hand , I don't hold them, or pet them. None-the-less, they've gotten so used to me that I literally have to lock them out of the shed when cleaning it to keep from stepping...
