I have a barred rock pullet with what looks like orange stripes on her legs? It doesn't appear to be hurting her but I would like to know what it is. And how do I treat it if it needs treatment? Forgive me if this has been posted one hundred times before. I did try to search for it before...
I don't know if any of them truly annoy me to the point of pulling my hair out. They just cause a dull ache in my head. I guess I don't really care for people talking text. Texting text is one thing, speaking it is a travesty.
That said though, I think it clearly shows we are the older...
Gotta second the Barbara Kingsolver post especially Poisonwood Bible. One of the characters does whole sentences that are palindromes (a word or words spelled the same forward and backwards). And the Sue Grafton post too. Another book that I loved was Memoirs of a Geisha - the title sounds...
I brought home my daughter's kindergarten classroom chickens, 6 of them. Four were roos. "Statistically speaking" we failed big time. Since then though, I have gone to the feed store and purchased 4 more chickees from the "pullet palace". There is a 98% chance that they are pullets. And I...
I love love love fall. It's time for warm sweaters, apple cider and fires. Plus this seems to be the time of year when I fall in love (been married twice and met both men in October - still married to the second one ). And it's when I had my first child.
Spring would be second because of...
Will this work even if I only have 2 original chickens and add a 3rd. I can see if it was a bigger flock.
Also, my DH and I had this hair-brained (harebrained?) idea of putting wire down the middle of the coop, just for night time. (Day time we have a seperate area for the new girl but...
ERnoleGuy: Thanks for requesting this post. I just bought a 4 month old pullet and need her to get along with my two 3 month old girls quickly (even though I've heard I should quarentine the new one). Of course I'm a little concerned, especially b/c I don't want her to be by herself for too...
All your chickens are beautiful, but of course Chipmunk and Romeo are spectacular. I just sold a young BR roo today and am sooooo sad to see what he could have looked like. (City, roos and neighbors aren't the best combo).
Kitties in the box are darling too.
I am down to a BR pullet and an EE pullet (of the six that I brought home from my daughters class - 4 were roos - what luck!!!) in my run/coop now, but have bought 2 chicks and am going back to the feed store for one more chick and a 4 month old faverolle pullet.
My question pertains to the...
