I am getting everything ready for my spring garden. I bought a gourd mix seed packet and was thinking they would look really pretty growing over the chicken coop and would provide shade for them in the summer. The gourds included in the pack are crown of thorns, spoon, pear bi color, flat...

The neighbors dog who killed 3 of my chicken is in my yard again. Fil is out with the b.b. gun and letting that dog have it. I hate to hurt the dog but man am I tired of him coming in my yard and I will not loose more birds to him. Maybe a little sting in the behind will teach him to stay out...
What is your favorite source online for chicken supplies? I am looking for D.E. , incubator, and a source for meds. like antibiotics and such to build up my chicken first aide kit. The feed stores around here suck so my best bet is online. Any suggestions?
