    Best breed for backyard coop?

    I have buff orpingtons, a chochin, a brahma, a sicilian buttercup, and a rir. My chocin is the sweetest of them all and the most docile. The orps rule the roost and are beautiful. The buttercup flies out of the run everyday and spends a lot of time alone. My brahma is large and loud :) And...

    Facebook question...

    I enjoy facebook very much. I stay in touch with family and old friends. A lot of old friends from high school and elementary school too. I'm not 'close' friends with all of them but enjoy seeing their posts even if I don't comment on all of them. It is only a social network and I don't take...

    Border Collies and Chickens?

    Hi, we own a border collie and have 7 free roaming chickens in city limits. Our dog, of course, wants to herd the chickens. But most often she doesn't bother them. In the begining we watched her constantly. To make sure she didn't want to eat them or something. She really had no interest in...

    Hen is laying in tree how do I stop this behavior?

    She is a silly bird! I think I'll try taking what I can of the nest down and putting it in the nesting box and keep her cooped up for a while. Sounds like good advice. Thank you all!

    Does anyone here Meditate?

    I meditate sometimes, not often enough. It is not always easy. You have to clear your mind. Just buy a book or cd on meditation. I started after reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. He was on Oprah a few years ago. He says to start off just closing your eyes and concentrate on your...

    Chickens and the Garden can I ask the question here?

    Our chickens were eating EVERYTHING in the backyard...raised beds and everything else! We just made a large run for them now, to save my flowers and my hubby's vegies. Now we can all be happy! Boy, I sure don't miss all the poop on the patio either!

    What % do you tip when you eat out??

    I tip 15% for average service, 20% for very good service. I leave nothing for very poor service and absolutely do not feel guilty about it! I'm curious to know why you stay in food serving if the pay is so bad and they take out all that tax.
