    Natural Cold Process Lye Soaps

    I was interested too, but also in making some myself. She recommended the Soap Queen website, so I will probably follow up on that.

    Meat Bird Project - Delaware, White Rock, Dark Cornish

    Wow, thqnks! Knowing all that gives me more confidence! I also have been concerned about contamination, but I know I am more likely to be cautious than many. I can see how pulling everything out first would actually assist with managing the anal removal along with preventing much poop. I figure...

    Meat Bird Project - Delaware, White Rock, Dark Cornish

    This will be my first time doing it as I have 10 cornish crosses that I will harvest in 4 to 6 weeks. I don't care for the skin anyway and knew it would be so much easier than plucking. Wish I could find a tutorial with pics. Maybe something you might think about posting on BYC sometime in the...

    Coop Shame

    Maybe you can do what I have done for more room until I get my larger coop completed. In addition to my regular runs, I have collected pallets and crates to use to construct both additional runs and houses. I bought a big bag of zip ties to secure them and place nets across the top as well as...

    So we are thinking that the pinkish ones are from the whites, the blues eggs from the 2darker greys, and the green.from the very light grey. Who knows until we separate them.for breeding, but interesting to see.

I was researching breeds on the Livestock Conservation site and wanted to help preserve some of the heritage breeds while establishing a home flock that will help feed my family. I chose the Crevies based on three characteristics: conservation status, foraging habit...

    Good to know anout the snowy EEs. They all came.from the same place at the same.time. I wasn't looking for any specific breed at the time, but I understand that most sellers tell buyers that the chicks are Ameracauna when they are EEs. Now I do have my eye on some Ameracauna SE of me who are...

    Coop Shame

    ^^This^^ This is what I am using my first little house for. I have chicks in it right now with a run. When they are a little bigger, I will separate the trios into their own runs and give them their own house. I initially considered placing my little house (similar to the one pictured on top of...

    "Training" to follow?

    Holy cow!! You need more than pepper spray. I've been threatening to get the big cans of bear spray, but you need a few for sure. Here I am in the Talladega National Forest thinking I'm fighting off the wilderness with coyotes and snakes, but you, my dear, are truly in the wilderness!

    LOL! Not that's a picture to love! I'm not sure who's having more fun, the pig or the mountain climbing chicks! Did you make sure they have a qualified sherpa along?

    Even the white ones? Although to be fair, the.white ones do have that rust colored blush across their breast. I'm guessing the 2 blue egg layers are the greys.

    ALABAMA!!

    Only thing I have to offer is already posted (most recent cases found in Cullman) with the exception of being in TSC today and they are still selling chicks. I'm trying to swoop in on one of those 50 cent a chick deals that some people have gotten. Some have even posted they were given chicks...

    Yep, better now touch that subject. However, I am building my flock and looking at some heritage pigs so at minimum I will be able to feed myself and my daughter. We are both disabled and live in constant fear re: the future of disability insurance payments. I paid in for 40 years and what I...

    How about this one? Another And a group shot. Why is it always their rear end when you want a group shot? These were all sold to me by our local farmer's co-op and sold as Ameracaunas. All have blueish dark legs, 2 have white/clear nails and 4 have dark nails. Talons? Some have ear tuffs and...
