I set up a simple dust bath inside the chicken tractor by cutting a plastic barrel about 16" off the ground and wide enough to allow easy entry. This keeps the dust dry and keeps the chickens from throwing it all out when dusting. I mix some wood ashes (1-part), potting mix (5-Part) (not dirt)...

I move the tractor every day, but as winter came on the grass was rather dry and they were not eating it too much. I gave them some sprouts and they really liked them. The following You Tube video shows their reaction.

Has anyone attempted to teach their chickens how to tell the days of the week? Our cat knows weekends now. I was wondering if feeding a treat only on weekends would possibly work.

I move mine daily. I've only got six hens, but they really tear up the grass. It is built out of a 4' x 12' dog run. I have wheels on it so it is not too much trouble to move.

Yesterday my wife an I went to the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve in Kansas. I was impressed with the chicken house they had built. It consisted to two parts. The main coop itself was built of limestone about twenty five inches thick and measured approximately 20 x 30 feet. There was a second...

My best deer hunting was when I spent a year in the Army in Utah. I took 3 weeks off for deer hunting, went out with several different groups. Never got a thing. Stopped by one of the road houses to shoot pool while hunting. Really had a good time. A couple of years later my wife and I...

I currently am trying to cut carbs, so don't eat so much bread now. We had used a breadmaker heavily a few years ago. I had a white bread mixture that was really easy and with a very cruncy crust similar to regular french bread. I used an electric knife and one of those cutting guides, ending...

Instead of getting into a never ending argument, why not throw a block party. Make sure to invite the person(s) that are making the complaints and let everyone get to know each other. Surprisingly, sometimes it just takes a little talking.

Have you ever heard of a "Flat Coat". It looks like a long haired labrador retriever except the coat doesn't shed so much. These dogs apparently developed from the same line of breeding, but are very laid back and great in a home versus the labrador which is always jumping around. They are...

Why flirt? I lived in Germany several years. Women there don't flirt much. If a girl likes someone she simply tells that person so. From a males perspective this is very flattering.

I got a translation of "a guarded sea will never fire". I would believe that is our common phrase. "A watched pot will not boil".

Factory farming does not feed the world. Slowly the large Coops are putting the small farmer out of business. An example is Poland. With the exception of the US and a few places that Smithfield and Tyson have footholds there are still a lot of small farmers out there. There is no reason that...
