    Does anyone feed King brand feed? I am particularly interested in hearing about their Organic and non gmo feeds. Thanks

    I'd go so far as to call mine psycho broody. Sorry you lost your hen. They always seem get the favorites.

    I'd be happy to share some pics of these girls. I'll try to do it tomorrow but it may be Thursday. I will say that my original birds are from Stromburgs and also seem small. They have small frames but are very meaty. They also grow pretty slowly. The fact that they are hard feathered also makes...

    You are right. I try to look at things in a "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." kinda way. So, to the good: 1) Weakness identified and fixed 2) Granddaughter got introduced to snakes and now understands they are dangerous and to be avoided. 3) My neighbor skinned the snake got a nice...

    GMO irony

    Labeling is not happening because then the consumer would be informed and could "vote with their dollars". Historically soy was not used as food, even for animals, unless it was fermented. Miso is one example. For those who are interested this program is catching on fast...

    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    @DesertChic Sorry to hear about your loss. He was a beautiful bird and his kids are stunning too. Today I killed this in my new chicken barn: Any chance he was snake bit? I know you don't want him to go to waste, but I'd think twice about eating chicken that died of unknown causes.

    I try to avoid using the term "Predator PROOF". "Predator Resistant" is my preferred term. Today I was proved right. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter entered the barn with my daughter and they walked up on this. It was of course alive at the time and my daughter quickly jerked the wee...

    GMO irony

    Exactly right! GMO's do not make corn grow 10 ears per stalk or provide better nutrition as opposed to natural crops. They only serve to boost the sales of their makers primary products. Also the fact that these big Corps are suing farmers who save seeds from their non GMO crops that have...

    GMO irony

    If GMO's are so safe, why are they banned Australia, Japan, the EU and nearly 60 other countries around the world?

    "They" say a picture is worth a 1000 words. I say thank goodness for that because I am to beat for many words. My thought on the progress will have to wait 'till tomorrow.

    I believe your are right about the slope being for drainage. It does go t'word the front. It's not a dip or a wobble rather a slight but steady grade from ahead of center to the front. The slab was poured by a very good concrete contractor who specializes in putting basements under houses long...

    First off, Thank you aart, canadianbuckeye, and bobbi-j for your support. It REALLY does help motivate me. I have more to report. I got the second half of the side wall to the layer coop installed and to my dismay... the pad is not at all level. There is a 3' gap where this part of the...
