    I personally adore my speckled sussex. They are handy foragers and lay quite well and are very inquisitive. Plus when free ranging they have a natural camo outfit! I had welsumers and loved them too. They lay a beautiful terra cotta colored egg with dark speckles. On the leghorns I have had...

    I love the princess bride names as well. My youngest daughter, who is now 28 can still recite that movie from beginning to end. She would love to name our chickens after the movie characters too!

    Thank you all for the support in regards to my roo. It is so strange to visit the barn and coops without hearing his deep chuckling at me. I am going to try and hatch some eggs from his hens...a mixed farmflock. Unfortunately I only have space for 8 eggs in the incubator as I am trying to hatch...

Not to mention how nice summer watering chores will be. Whew glad that's over with! On Sunday my oldest...

    Howdy Peeps! It's been a bit since I have been on. Usually every Memorial weekend we decide to pick a big project to work on around the farm since we have the extended weekend. This way we usually get rental equipment for an extra day at least since the rental yards are usually closed on the...

    Today watching the tornado coverage and the thousands of Oklahomans helping anyone in need has made me so proud to call Oklahoma my home. I may be a born and bred Californian but I will be an Okie till my dying day.

    Hoping everyone is safe...the tornado coverage is riveting and terrifying all at the same time. It makes me want to help so much that it makes my heart hurt.

    My goodness what wild weather we have been having! I hope everyone is OK and safe. Here in Piedmont it almost felt like we were going to have a re-run of the May 24th tornado a couple of years ago. Prayers to all those who have been impacted by the bad weather. This weekend we kept ourselves...

    Artsy sorry about your lost duckling...and all of you struggling with chick losses. It's tough when the little ones don't make it.

    Today I was getting composted horse poop from the manure pile for the new trees and found a HUGE grub...thicker and longer than my thumb. What kind of bug it makes I am not sure...Japanese beetle maybe? Anyway I took it to the bantam cochins and there was a four way tug of war over it...that...

    Wow! I cant wait! Thank you for telling me! We also got one cottonless cottonwood which is supposed to get to 75-90 ft tall. I hope it does! I really love trees. We lived on an open prairie in California and there were no trees for shade anywhere near us. One of my requirements when looking...

    Thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us! I am so pleased to see that what we have in mind should work. I just wanted to be sure we wouldnt have heat stress related deaths. As it was last summer, in spite of hosing down shady areas, using ice chunks in waterers and providing misters...

    Does anyone here raise hogs? We are considering adding a meat hog or two to the farm. We need to know best housing ideas on the cheap...easy on the bank account but that will still allow them to be as comfortable as possible. We have had many hogs in the past but that was when we lived on the...

    Hola Peeps! Today my mare's water trough sprung a leak in her stall and has apparently become a chicken magnet! The puddle around it seeped under the stall wall and into the mile fluer cochin run next door. The hens have had a GREAT day excavating and playing in the damp soil. Good thing it was...

    The first fart egg I ever saw I laughed and laughed and showed anyone who would look! Over the years I have collected them...and since there is usually only egg white they will dry nicely over time and basically preserve themselves. I just leave them alone in a bowl or glass and a few months...

    Wow we are rockin and rollin in Piedmont! I'm all good with the liquid precip but that frozen kind is no fun! Thank you guys for the ideas on what to do and where to go in New Orleans. Neither of us has ever been so it will be a true adventure. I plan on making a quest for shrimp as big as my...

    Today we found out that I may be going on a business trip with DH to New Orleans...a complete surprise and blessing as we most likely would never have been able to go on our own. It has been at least eight years since we have had any kind of vacation aside from day trips. Our hotel is on Canal...
