    Our biggest rooster is "harvested" and in the fridge. Tuesday I'll take it out and soak it in a brine of water, salt, garlic and onion. Wednesday evening I'll put it in the crockpot with poultry seasoning. We have eggs coming out of our ears. Out of our 20 standard-sized girls, we get between 5...

    I haven't been on this thread or on BYC in quite a while ... after reading the last 3 posts on this thread, thinking I need to go back several pages and do some reading! Was 16 degrees here this morning. We made a new watering system for our two large groups of chickens and looks like it got...

    Hi. How did everyone do with this last blizzard? Here we got over a foot of snow, with drifts up to 2 1/2 feet tall! Took Hubby and I an hour to dig out the chickens and goats. Still, with our new buildings for all, nobody froze, got frostbite or even got sick. A little frozen water but that's...

    End of a soap opera era

    I too thought the last episode of AMC was horrible ... a cliffhanger?!?! Aren't they supposed to go online soon? Does anyone know when or what the web addy is? On principle, I refused to watch the chew, which took its place. And whatever takes the place of One Life to Live also will not be...

What's the best way to get rid of any possibility of Marek's...

    Thinking about getting piglets in the spring too. Will make their pig pen between the girl goat pen and the boy goat pen. Will plant an oak tree to grow up and provide shade for them and then later they can eat the acorns. Sold quite a few chicks this weekend, but still have more. (Four...

    Probably too long of a drive for a few chickens at $3.50 or so each. Thanks anyway! And good luck with your new coop. Wonderful.

    Hi. Haven't posted for a while, but lurk when I can. But it's time! We have too many chickens! Yeah, I know, that's almost impossible, but for us, it is true. We have about 69 and need to get it to about 30/35 for the winter. Mostly have eggers, hatched from our own eggs. From 4 weeks to 4...

    Just realized we got a Presto 6-qt aluminum pressure cooker for wedding present 4 years ago and never opened it. BUT it doesn't say it can be used for canning. What do you think? Bucky: sorry to hear that. JD: would be great but need someone to help me through the first round. Wanna?

    help! roosters trying to mate with pullet her head is bald, leg hurt.

    X2 roosters have a huge sex drive. good rule of thumb is 10 girls to 1 guy. If you prefer the roosters, get rid of the hen. If you prefer the hen and really want the roosters, make separate spaces for them or get more girls. I have one roo who is very sweet but is very driven. 8 girls aren't...

    Bantam egg cartons?

    I called 7 places today, and e-mailed another 2. Nobody that I talked with has bantam-sized egg cartons. There are boxes for collecting or shipping eggs (including cutler, fleming and eggcartons.com), but nothing for those of us who'd like to sell the eggs. My quail egg cartons won't work...
