They will be three years old on June 4th, but Henny Penny didn't make it. She was one of my EEs, last night mama fox and a kit were hunting and Henny Penny got too close to the woods, we never saw it until it was too late. We'll have to be extra vigilant from now on when we let them out in the...

My little roo has decided to become a monster. I have boots on lately due to the snow and slush, but once the summer comes he's going to be able to do some damage unless I teach him a few lessons. The other day he got my hand good when I bent over to pick something up. So, this morning he...

I have some blanched almonds that are a bit stale, I thought rather than tossing them I'd chop them up a bit and feed them to the spoiled little girls out there - is that an ok treat for them?

I bought some game bird feed for the higher protein content while the birds are molting. Some of them look all filled out, but the rest are either in the midst of it or just starting. I'm mixing the game bird with their regular crumbles. How long do you think I should feed them this mix...

I was out in the yard chicken-watching when I heard a bird singing - I think it was a canary. Beautiful little tune it was whistling. Poor thing, it won't last the winter around here. I know the bird song around here, this was definitely foreign - and reminded me of my grandmother's...

Our birds are going into their second winter. Last year, as young pullets they laid eggs all winter, I understand they don't do this forever. Many of them re in a hard molting session right now, almost complete, they all look shiny and new again, almost! When will they start laying again - is...

I put a hook and eye on the inside of the door, so when I got in there when it's windy, I can lock the door shut behind me and they don't escape - I've got a couple RIRs who love to bang against the door to see if it will open. Anyways, this is the second time it happened, somehow when the door...

This was on CBS Sunday Morning this morning, and I just loved it - but they didn't tell that the family was in financial trouble and couldn't keep the dog - hopefully temporarily!!

Fresh local honey provided you live in southeastern MA Test for the BuyItNow system. Hope I did it right!

I don't know if this has ever been posted here, but it's a riot. Back when TV was innocent - and this was late night! According to the e-mail I received this on, the trick has never been repeated. Johnny Carson & Dom Delouise and the Egg Trick

Discuss! Mine will always be Spring, I just love the newness of it - renewal after the dark grey of winter.

Due to my illness (I have a really bad case of Lyme disease) , I haven't been up to the Maine home for well over a month. As a result I've missed the main wild blueberry season - which really makes me mad because this year they were absolutely loaded! We have about an acre, maybe an acre and a...

I have checked my hens thoroughly for mites, and I don't see any. I did have a roo that did a lot of damage to them, many of them are completely bare-backed. I have noticed that several are growing new feathers. I'm thinking that my drop off of production is because it takes a lot of energy...

I had to get rid of Stumpy, my ginormous, mean, nasty Buff Orpington roo. The damage he did to the hens, along with me, just couldn't be tolerated. We didn't want the girls to be without a protector, though, and that's one thing Stumpy did marvelously. When I was up at the chicken swap in...

Well, the deed is done. Stumpy was a magnificent Buff Orpington roo, but he was one mean son of a gun. I couldn't have people help me take care of the chickens, because he attacked them - we knew how to fend him off, but I couldn't ask anyone else to deal with him. So he's - um- going to be...

Rob has the forum up and running, come on over and post your goat questions and answers! Be the first to post!

I've had it with my rooster, and I have someone who is going to deal with him this weekend for me. He's almost a year old, very large, a huge Buff Orpington roo who tears the hens up and attacks me every chance he gets. What will happen to my flock of 14 hens when he's taken out? I know...

Oh my goodness. I've always said I wanted goats, now I know I want them. My husband and I went to a young couple's home today to pick up a package of bees. I got out of the car and immediately noticed they had chickens - we know them from the bee club, we talk bees, we've never talked...

Anyone notice? I was on but not active (oops!). 979 peeps at once at 8:40 pm EST!

I apologize if this has already been posted, but it was just too sweet to not share! I love Big Band Music. Then we go to a totally different era with this one!
