    raw milk...

    Thankfully here in California, we can buy raw milk easily without cow share. Also it's great when the milk goes sour, you don't toss it out. Make yogurt or something with it. I usually drink all my milk before that happens but will try it some day.

    Bantam-Which breed for eggs & quiet?

    I want to get some bantam chickens but don't know which breed are good egg layers. Is it the same as standard size chickens? Also, since they are smaller, I'm hoping they make less noise as well. I have standard RIR now but going to sell them because of the loud egg song when laying. I have...

    Should I give her up because she's noisy?

    I have one pullet that's noisy when she's going to lay an egg and after laying an egg. It's not all morning but I live really close to my neighbor and I'm concern. I don't want to give her up since I raised her since she was a chick. I overheard one of my neighbor talking and their teenage...
