I have found this organization called World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It is an organization that is devoted to connecting volunteers to organic farms around the globe in exchange for food and lodging. http://www.wwoof.org I am curious to see if anyone on BYC has any experience...

Has anybody ever heard of The Federal Reserve Bank. They are an unregulated section of the government that are the "higher ups" when it comes to banking. (Or any commerce in general) http://www.federalreserve.gov Check it out! They have a great economic search engine called FRED. You can...

Another bad story from Wal-Mart. One way to tell if your car needs alignment is to go on a highway that is straight for about 3 or more miles and get up to 50 - 65 mph. Once you are up to speed then gently, and safely, release your control of the wheel for a split second. If your car...

What are some breeds that are good at laying eggs throughout the winter? Does anybody have any experience with this? I understand that the winter varies in the United States, but any information will be appreciated.

How much milk can a organic cow produce on an average day?

I would be willing to pay $10-$20 for the mugs/pitchers and $25 for the long matchstick holder, because of its butterfly design. If your selling it in a rich area, then add $5 to each price.

For hatching eggs you need, controlled temperture, humidity, light (for the tempreture), and rotation. For a greenhouse you need controlled temperture, humidity, and light. I should be able to use my incubater (considering that it is going to sit for the next several years) as a small...

Thanks! You both answered my question.

Question for a semi-new person. Would a Rooster go and try to repopulate out of his breed? and if he did would you get different breeds or would something else happen? Any info would be great. Thanks

AAAAGGGGHHH!!!!! I have grown up with the idea of going to college, get an "education", and live my life as everybody else does. Recently I have been having second thoughts on going to college for a full four year term. I have this urge to kick my city-life goodbye, buy 150-250 acres and...

All of my RIR are very friendly. Only the ones that are laying will allow me to pick them up but the younger ones will come around.

Quote: From what I could get out of him he was cut off by a driver on the expressway and crashed. People do not realize how difficult it is to slow down in a fuel tanker, or they just don't care.... mass times velocity equals force. Its a very basic Physics eqaution and yet, people...

Looks like when I go hunting I'm going to be sleeping out in the cold... Yesssssssss! I have the ability to do it and if I get cold I can always get in the truck to stay warm.

We have a wood fireplace and when our friends come over for the holidays, or visits, they are amazed at how nicely it burns and how much heat it puts out. They all say that their gas fireplace does not put out that much heat and sometimes cause a cold draft to come down their chiminy since not...

13 days and 58 minutes till deer season.

After many years of dealing with a "craftsman" my father bought a really nice stihl chainsaw. (I forgot the engine size) First time I used it I became a convert. It slices through knotted wood nicely and it slices like butter. Even though it is heavier than our "craftsman" was you don't...

One of my RIR hens laid her first egg today! In the nesting box too! It's kinda funny because my neighbor commented, yesterday, how one of my hens looked a little plumped. Let's see that is 1 out of 1452 eggs that need to be laid before they start paying for themselves.

Throughout the summer my RIR havebeen outside in pouring rain and after I go out there to check on them they are fine and are reletively dry. I've noticed that chickens have this "oil" on their feathers that repels water and allows it to slide off of them relatively easily. Today I saw them...

Cardinals win Game 1 I'm hoping that Texas wins the World Series.
