Did anyone else see the thread a couple of days ago with the youtube vid. about Japanese show chickens? I can't find it. Wanted to show my wife - if anyone remembers the name of the youtube video or the thread on BYC please help me!!

It's really deserted over there. I think some of us who talk about gardening here in the "random ramblings" section should go over and help out. That is part of what makes BYC a great site - you can post a question and get an almost instant answer. So all of you guys that know something about...

We live on a private road with 7 other households. Every year or two I end up buying gravel for upkeep and then having to go around to everyone and collect their share. This year several of the neighbors mentioned setting up a "road fund" where everyone would pay $xx.xx every month of the year...

I made a really good batch of strawberry wine two years ago and I'm just now finished with it. I have a bottle of Mt.Rose wine this old guy I know gave me. If it keeps raining the Mt. rose is seriously in danger!!

I've had chickens for a long time. I've had egg bound hens before , but because I stay so busy I never caught it in time and it always resulted in prolapse then culling. I have a brown/red LF ameracauna that has not layed for two days ( she normally lays every day or every other day). No...

So the boy and I got our baby chicks today and we're both excited We got 2 barred rocks 2 RIR's 2 leghorns and 2 EE. Gosh I had forgotten how tiny they are! We're kind of hoping one of the Leghorns is a roo so he can torment our dogs and do all kinds of crazy looney toon stuff out behind the...

Recently i posted on the forum in response to a question and to my surprise someone replied with a " so I guess I'll be the only one with over 100 posts to reply" message. Since I grew up on a farm and have been around chickens and numerous other types of birds for as long as I can remember I...

I thought I would post this for everyone's amusement and in case anyone new needs ideas for housing chickens in a hurry. My first chicken coop was a 1979 toyota pickup with a camper top. I drove it for many years and when it wouldn't hardly run anymore I parked it out behind the barn so it...

OK so I have a mixed flock-six chickens ,one guinea and two ducks. Since we're on a farm they pretty much have the run of the place during the day and then go to their pen to roost at night. The problem is the ducks ( both males ) will periodically get " in the mood" and er... ummm ..... try to...

Does anyone know the approximate length of the laying cycle for guinea hens? We have one and she layed for maybe 3 weeks last year and hasn't layed any since. As it stands now I am waiting for warmer weather and longer days to see if that will trigger another laying cycle but I am really...
