A long story short.......my garrage collapsed this past winter. I have had a few folks stop by after seeing the wreckage and ask if they can take my scrap metals. We are still dealing with the insurance co. (long winter with alot of claims and they are backed up) so we haven't removed or tossed...

First let me say that I know the rules for every state are different. Now to proceed with my story and then my question; This has been a crazy winter in my area. The snow has caused so much damage by causing roofs to collapse all over the state. We had had storm after storm and all that snow...

I know there have been threads like this in the past, and I have made some new neighbors in farmville from BYC before. I once again find myself squished on my farmville farm and need at least 8 neighbors to upgrade. I figured who knows farming better than the folks at BYC and they are some of...

I know this has been a crazy winter and folks all over the country are seeing snow that usually don't. It just seems to me that although everyone is getting snow, the East Coast is getting pounded. Me personally, I've had it up to here with snow I just spent the last 3 hours shoveling out my...

I have a young cockeral that was looking very promising. He has a great body, and the markings I am looking for in my Delaware flock. The only problem------ he has wry tail After reading up on wry tail I know I CAN NOT BREED HIM. I know this is a recessive gene but if I breed him, most of his...

I went outside to walk the dog this afternoon and saw this. I hope it brightens your day as it did mine. Enjoy!

I have 6 RIR hens from Ideal hatchery that I would like to rehome. I got them June 18th of 2009 as my starter flock. They are friendly and will eat from your hand. They are great layers of nice sized brown eggs. The only reason I am looking to rehome them is because I need to make room in my...

Aug. 14 & 15 is a tax free holiday in MA. My family needs a new pc so we may take advantage of the holiday. Money is tight all over, the economy stinks. So are there folks who are going to take advantage of the holiday, or do folks have no money to spend? What's your opinion?

I went fishing with the family last night and got eaten alive by mosquitos. Any fisherman can tell you that you don't wear perfume, bug spray or strong fragrances when you go fishing. I took precautions and wore long sleeves and long pants and still got bit through my clothes. There are...

I have an idea, but would like conformation/clairification please. What does "project" .................. mean? (ie: project RIR)

I just on byc's sister site looking for some gardening advise and only 48 registered users are online at that site! I saw some familiar byc user names but was surprised not to see more. Byc has over 800 users online right now. I hope some of those 800 plus members will jump on the easy garden...

Many years ago I would spend summers catfishing with my Grandpa on the Mississippi river in Wisconsin. We used rods and reels with nightcrawlers. Now my own family has taken to fishing in Massachusetts and I want to show them the chalange of catfishing. My husband likes to fish for bass and...

My Mom is from Wisconsin. Her family lives in the western part of the state right along the Mississippi river. It's beautiful country out there and I miss it. 30 years ago I took my first trip out there to visit my Mom's family and that is when I was introduced to fishing. My Grand Dad was the...

To the Mods, I am not sure if I listed this properly, so if I need to make changes to the listing, I understand, and please let me know. Hi folks. My Queen had a litter of 6 kitties 9 weeks ago. I posted them on craigslist and found good homes for all but one. I would re-post a listing for this...

So today I was outside watching my flock and I noticed the Chickadees and Finches grabbing the feathers from my runs for their own nests. I am all for helping the wild life but I don't want them spreading disease to my flock. I am headed outside to clean up the feathers so that the wild birds...

Hi guys. I have 24 chicks that are 3 weeks old. They are either pure Barred Rock or RIR/B.rock mixed. I have a Rock rooster in with my Rock and Red girls, so the mating produced both pure Rocks and RIR/B.rock mixes. They are all from hatchery stock, so they are bred for egg laying if you are...

Imogene (taterschickens) is one of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met (all though I only know her through BYC, I have never met her face to face.) Several months ago, I was looking to replace my RIR rooster. I was ordering some Orpington eggs around that time and asked the breeder if...

just wanted to share a quick, cute story. I have 2 EE's that are 25 weeks old. I have been waiting for eggs from them for some time because I am dying to see what color eggs they will lay. (I was really hoping for blue eggs.) I was told that EE's can take up to 8 months before they begin to lay...

Hi, I have to rant because my last nerve is fried. My husband was out of work for many months and collecting unemployment in Massachuseets. Everything was status quo until January 2010. The first week in January when he did not get paid per usual he went to the unemployment office, where they...
