I haven't posted in quite some time. Been busy with the family, a new house, and a taxidermy business. The wife and I plan to rebuild our flock this spring due to the fact we had to sell them before moving. We had no time to build proper shelter for the flock. We are "production" oriented in...

Congrats! My wife is also due on Oct 1.

Now that's a heart breaker Oz! Hopefully you will be able to find some quality help to replace them.

It's very interesting, it is a normal sized county with an unusual history. Almost every city in the US (actually all but 2), is a legal entity of the county in which they are located. As such, they can annex new land from the county as they grow. When Missouri became a state in 1821 all was...

As odd as this is, as a Missourian I believe it's illegal to sell wild game. Give it away, sure no problem, but selling is a no-no. I hear BBQ'd 'coon is quite good. ETA: Correction, small game except rabbits may be sold in MO. Deer, turkey, and most other game birds and such generally cant...

Quote Oz, Okay, growing tomatoes upside down is a pipe dream. Simple logic would indicate the impossibility of the design as plants always grow towards the sunlight. Upside down planters are an exercise in futility. I've never seen it successfully done, except on television of course...

Well since starting this thread a while back, I've been amazed at the reponses and suggestions. I have been working with my two dogs as much as I can with my hectic schedule. They still want to chase but have gotten the command of "no" and "leave it" pretty well. I had a hen get out of the...

Wow...I've been away from BYC for a few days traveling for business and I get back on to see 8 more pages on my innocent question about dog training. I am thankful for all the suggestions and tips/tricks. I will take this information and process it to decide how to best approach disciplined...

Thanks for the replies all. Currently we are working on the obedience with the dogs. They do understand sit and down, but stay and leave it are 25% at best. It is a work in progress and it is slow goings due to my work schedule and my wife's homeschool schedule. With that being said, I also...

I'm not sure this is the best place to put this but I have some questions regarding training/teaching dogs. I have two dogs. One is a 4.5-5 year old female (mama) and the other is a 3 year old female (daughter of the first). They are a mix breed. Lots of blue heeler, corgi, australian cattle...

That is funny!

I think she will be just fine. She should get all her needs met from the land if you let her and it shouldnt affect her production.

Generally no but it is always encouraged to cook any eggs before feeding to your chickens to prevent them from egg-eating your eggs. (clear as mud, right?) Most times free choice is the best way to feed. I give my flock treats in the afternoon because that's when I'm home, but it doesn't...

I love growing giant tomato plants. I had 15 plants this year that I staked and suckered to control growth upwards and into larger fruits. All but two plants were at 10 feet tall plus. I had two cherry tomato plant in the range of 12 feet tall before a wind storm blew down almost all the...

Lots of questions! Okay, here goes. First check local and state laws regarding the bob white quail. Coturnix are not regulated however in many areas Bobwhites are native and therefore you might be required to have a permit. Coturnix can begin laying at about 10-12 weeks if my memory serves me...

Also, I have had my younger pullet's egg yolks be very light until their systems regulated ( about 4-5 weeks), then they matched the rest with very nice orangey-yellow yolks.

Both look like hens. I have several that look strikingly similar!
