Today I was checking eggs in our main coop, and heard a large commotion in our "solitary confinement" coop. We just moved 4 hens and a rooster into there 2 days ago, to allow breed specific laying in our main coop. Apparently one of the hens couldn't hang on any longer; she laid a "Siamese...
I've never used one before, as we normally use broody hens. But this will likely not occur this year, due to flock turnover, so its artificial means this year :(
Does anyone have a good chart that I can print off, to help me keep track?
Visiting my parents for a few days, and they are in need of a new rooster ASAP. Breed does not matter, but he does need to have a nice temperament.
The hens are needing to stay cooped up due to hawks in the area, and a rooster will allow them to be out and about.
They live near Lawrence, Kansas.
Did you know that the salt levels in feed are there to prevent the animal from over eating, in an attempt to get enough salt in their diets?
Think about that in terms of our diets.
We are seeing an increase in very low sodium dieting occurring. Wonder what that will cause?
To further that...
What has happened with the dietary guidelines is that they preach a kind of low-fat, high-fiber, low-salt, puritanical diet that is impossible to eat. We have cravings for these kind of foods because we need these foods. We need saturated fats, we need salt in the diet. And people try to go on...

I remodeled our blog today, but have run into a couple of snags. First, the pages header has two white areas that I cannot get rid of, and then, any links that I have in the posts, are no longer highlighted. I tried changing the color, but all that happened was the post titles changed colors...
This auction is for an authentic Alaskan handcarved Caribou antler, crafted as a bald eagle. Base is made of bone, whale baleen, and Oak. The antler has a beautiful, rich brown color. This would be a wonderful addition to any home, and a truly Alaskan Christmas gift!
The antler measures 9...
I am trying to remember a term. For example, a large number of people suddenly show up at a small store and buy as much as they can, just to help out the owners.
Or, a bunch of people just gather by prearrangment in the city square and dance a routine.
What is that CALLED!!!!
