Showed Afghans for 30 years, now have mini poodles, both finished and since I am much much older and the rings are growing larger and larger with each show I am now going to try my hand at pure bred chickens, I love the looks of the Lavender Ameraucanas and since they...
I've showed dogs for 30 years and have always heard that baby shampoo is very drying, as babies have oily scalps, would this be a problem? I have a B&G macaw and there is actual avian shampoos on the market, since I have this would it work? I am not questioning your knowledge, as I know...
Congrats on finalizing you and your sons dream! Am anxious to see his smiling face when actually sees those new eggs hatching!! Good luck and hugs to both of you!! Keep posting!

Could you please tell me what major city Crump TN? I live near the tri cities area of Bristol. Johnson City and Kingsport in the northeastern part of the state. Thanks
Think this is a grand idea, nothing to join, nobody ignoring you, everyone friendly etc. If you are willing to do the work, I think all the Lavender folks would appreciate another place to look for help. I find this site wonderful compared to other forums I belong to! I've reduced a few of my...
Dear David,
I apologize for taking so long in replying. Thank you so much not only for qualifying my answer, but also for suggesting the California Leghorns, it's a great idea so I'm implementing one more chicken into the brood. My biggest fear is that they will not get along. I hate the...
These are really cool. I can't even draw a stick figure LOL! Saw how to blow out an egg on some show the other day, I've done it the same way and it worked well. Use a larger sharp sewing needle to break a small hole, then keep picking at the shell until the hole is maybe a 16th if an...
I have porcelain egg coddling cups, left to me after my mom passed. They are wonderful. I spray both pieces with bakers spray, put in the egg, add some salt, pepper and a tad of butter, screw the tops on. place them in water and viola wonderful soft boiled eggs that slide right out! I have...
Am so excited, ordering 4-6 baby hens Monday morning for delivery April 15! These will be the first chickens I've ever raised....although I have a Blue and Gold Macaw that thinks he owns the entire family!!
The biggest question I have is should I get pairs or can I choose all different...
I think the swap is a grand idea! Could eggs be included?
I showed Afghan Hounds for 30+ years, had a woman I had
known for ages purchase several of my sweatshirts at one of
our Nationals, but "forgot" her checkbook at home. It took me
a year to get my money from her...all I had to...
That's good to know. Wonder what one of the vultures would do if they went to pick up one of my girls who was laying
out sunning herself, they would both be pretty surprised, I'd say! LOL!!
Thank you so very much, I've spent hours and hours on the Meyers site...so much to learn!
We have a couple of acres, and also vultures, so want the chickens to have good cover, my husband has had to run out a
few times and shoot off his shotgun, to keep them away from my mini-poos!
Thank you for the pictures of your really pretty birds! I am so jealous...I want our house finished, the chicken coop finished and my bathtub installed, I HATE SHOWERS! LOL!!
Where does a person purchase these birds. My girlfriend's brother has some kind of brown chickens he said I could...
Just moved to Greeneville in June, from WI. We are busy building a human house, then will build the Chicken house...only bird I have now is a Blue and Gold Macaw LOL! Looking forward to having a few chickens...my husband grew up on a farm and it has taken me over a year to finally convince...
