    Little Coop On The Prairie

    Little Coop on the Prairie My husband and I live on 20 acres in a small manager's cabin (efficiency apartment), so we always joke that we live in the Little House on the Prairie, so it seemed proper to call the new chicken house the Little Coop on the Prairie. We are currently building a barn...

    Silly Question: Hen with Duck eggs

    Will a hen set duck eggs?? We have a neighbor who has ducks and they keep coming over and laying eggs...not a big deal...but they lay them in my hay (small space to climb in to get hay) and I don't like being hissed at when I go get my hay!! Anytime we see the duck off the eggs we take them. We...

    Eating Healthy

    I probably have no business commenting on this thread as I am 5'3" and 120lbs, don't exercise a lot, and eat the WORST stuff (corn dogs, fish sticks, DR PEPPER (lots of it) Sweet tea, whole milk, ice cream, crackers, etc, etc etc) but I do have to say that most people make the mistake of...

    My neighbor problems

    I agree with all the above comments! What kind of world are we coming to when people have no respect for other people or their property?!?? I really love the barbed wire or stakes or nails (something to damage their tires!) I would probably be the mean one that would hang a bucket of paint in a...

    Egg Journal Question

    I went ahead and made a quick spreadsheet for March and printed it. I plan to hang it on the fridge and mark it when I put the eggs in the fridge....hopefully that will help me remember to mark it.

    Rhode Island Red Rooster (Houston, TX)

    I got a RIR roo tonight that I will need to rehome soon... I don't know much about him. A lady contacted me about a hen and roo that she couldn't keep anymore. They were raised by a high school student and are about 8 months old. I plan to keep the hen, but can't keep the roo. If anyone is...

    UPDATE TO LOST CHICKS

    I read your other post, just didn't comment! I have to say you handled it well...I would be in jail for hurting someone!! I would have had them track down where they first got lost and it would have been road trip time with the box of deceased ones... Glad they finally made it! Glad you have...

    Rooster questions Sorry, long.

    I have 2 hens and one rooster. He calls them if I bring out a tasty treat and won't eat until both of them have eaten. He courts them. I have never seen him mate one though! I have 4 or 5 pullets that are a week old that will be moving in eventually. I typically get 2 eggs a day from the hens...

    Think I may have found out what my roo is...

    I love him! I think he is just gorgeous! I got a straight run EE at Tractor Supply with hopes he is a roo, but the more time I spend watching the big guy, I hope the EE is a hen!! I just really wanted to have a young roo to raise so he would be more used to attention and so I would be less of a...
