Quote: I make a similar cookie, with no peanut butter (Sorry, my recipe is thousands of miles away, so I can't compare other than that). I prefer to use the old fashioned oats (IMO, instant is only good for...umm...uhhh...other people! Yeah, that's it. Other people!). I also, at times, add...

Quote: Come to Minnesota and drink the water... Look at what happened to me... I'm praying for you guys! Only if I can drink from your well Actually, I probably shoud send Troy up there to drink from your well.

If I remember correctly, cocci is like e-coli. It lives naturally in the intestines, and isn't a problem unless it is eaten. A natural remedy is vinegar. 1 tbsp per quart of water (1/4 c per gallon) for 3 days or until symptoms are gone. I'm not sure if it kills the cocci or if it stops the...

Thanks for your prayers, everyone. Thanks for starting this post, Debi You've all brought tears to my eyes. Quote: It seems to be an epidemic wherever I go. Unfortunately, thus far, I seem to be immune.

I'm not a goat owner, so I don't know....but I have a thought that may work. What about a dog shock collar, the variety that has the remote. When she starts to go after another goat, she gets a zap. Don't know, just a suggestion. It's a great way to train dogs, but there might be something...

Quote: My mom was 5!

7 of the 12 ended up hatching. We didn't know what we were doing, but she did well. The first one hatched 13 Jan, 5 more 14 Jan, and the last one 18 Jan. Well, more accurately, the first 6 hatched sometime between our bedtime the night before and when we checked on the days mentioned...

Quote: The other side of that is, don't take her out for expensive meals during the courtship/dating if you aren't up for it during the marriage. Be real about money. Talk about it. Talk about religion, or lack thereof. If you don't agree, chances are, it will get worse when/if kids come...

Several of our EE hens look like hawks. One more than the others due to her coloring. The tail on yours looks like a roo, though.

also, if there are other people in your area, you could go in together, get chicks, meet where/dressed so you don't contaminate existing flocks, and everyone go home with the ones they wanted (hopefully). It would be easier if everyone wanted chicks that were either the same, or that look...

She lays large white eggs, and the only thing she has in common with our buff orpington is her color...ok, gender and yummy egg laying ability as well. Well, with your advise, I went to McMurray's, and she does look like the buff minorca. I don't think I could have picked her out from their...

AD since Dec 1999. Married DH (Navy Corpsman) Nov 2000; hie was stationed in Seattle, I was stationed in OK City. Both of us PCSd to Okinawa--Kadena AB/Camp Hansen, 2003. He retired there. Now I'm stationed at Robins AFB, GA. I'm an Airborne Surveillance Radar maintainer.

[/img] This hen is one of our survivors. Her back feathers have been pulled due to too many excited roos. I was questioning her gender because of the HUGE comb, but she's definately a she!

Well, I've heard of people being sent to get 50 ft of flight line. I was also told about a female who was sent hither and yon looking for some falopian tube. Ummm...prop wash keys to the jet (not as funny as some, since some aircraft DO have keys).

Hen'nbiddies : This is good info for me. I ordered some chicks from Ideal and they will be including some males for warmth they said. At what age can I cook up the roos I don't want? (Apologies to the chicken pet people) It depends on the breed and how much meat you want. Accoding to...

Quote: Neighbor didn't pay attention to her 5(?) yo kid. The kid came up and shook the door to the coop until the latch broke. Dogs stampeeded past, and took out the chickens. We left for church at 9, came back after Sunday school at 11, since I wasn't feeling well. DH saw the carnage, and...

Quote: It also depends on your ratio. We ordered a bunch of roos for meat. We had plenty of hens, so decided not to get any more (other than a few for the green eggs). A week before the new birds were to arrive, the neighbor's kid broke into the chicken coop, and her dogs went on a rampage...

My husband and I are in middle Georgia, and have about 130 chickens: 5 hatched Mar '08 that survived a slaughter in May (neighbor's kid and dogs got 42), ~30 hatched in May, ~90 hatched in Aug... and the first batch of home-hatched bitties: 1 hatched 13 Jan, and 5 siblings hatched 14 Jan...

We haven't dealt with coccidiosis except with the babies. Our first batch we lost several (6, I think) before I found the following solution in one of the books I grew up with. The second batch, we only lost two, and it wasn't coccidiosis. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to every quart of water (1/4...
