I let the chickens and ducks out yesterday morning. When we got home last night, all the chickens and all but one duck was dead. We actually can't find 2 packing peanuts. They are all about 3 months old. They looked like they just dropped where they were. No signs of any varmit entering the...
I am very curious as to what happen to the birds. I was just getting ready to post and see if anyone had an answer to the very question. It just happened to us yesterday. I let the chickens and ducks out yesterday morning. When we got home last night, all the chickens and all but one duck...
Stirtz is the one I was thinking of. Its been there since when we moved there in 1979. Really nice people use to own it. As a kid, i liked going in and getting the super small eggs

I grew up in Enterprise and went to school in Chapman. Is there still the hatchery between Enterprise and Abilene. On the high road. Can't remember the name of it.
There also used to be one on 43 in Enterprise.
I liked the one on High Road, we always got eggs from them. Never...

Mrs Fluffy Puffy....You mean to tell me there are people out there who don't carry "magic" pliers and a knife in their pockets all the time I thought everyone had a pair.

Thanks to my lurking tendecies, I got a lot of great info from here. . We built the coop 8x8. I used what we had on hand, repurposing some siding from my DH's supply to expand his shop. . I had tin for the roof on hand. Even "found" some plywood in the shop.
My youngest son and...
