So I had some Velveeta cheese that had passed its expiration date. Seemed like a good thing to give the chickens... Sometimes they go crazy over the funniest things. You would have thought I had given them manna from heaven: Everybody eating. More cheesy mayhem. Sissy helping Vagrant with...

Driving home from a little stop at the WalMart. Sun was impairing my vision because it was at the top of my windshield but in a place that the visor could not block it. There were dark trees on the right side of the road. All of a sudden there is a deer in front of me. Looked like a female...

The other day I was going out to throw some scratch for the chickens. I have a little song I sing so they know what is coming. When they hear the song, they all come running. For a moment I was blinded by the low hanging sun. Then I made out a bird flying at me. My OEGB roo had taken flight...

I have a silkie brooding. We let her sit on 4 eggs and it has been about 14-15 days. Today she moved 3 of the eggs to the corner and covered them with bedding. They are quite cold now. She is still sitting on one and it feels very light weight. Did she reject the three others because they...

I am so done with my mower not starting. It has been a struggle all summer. It either has a dead battery or it cranks but won't catch. I have learned the art of jump starting a motor. I could have gone my whole life without knowing how to do that. So now I have people coming tomorrow to...

I got my first spotted eggs today. What lays spotted eggs??

So I'm sitting here on the internet after dinner having a quiet night. Suddenly I hear the pop of a .22.... Oh dear!! Go out to find DH in the yard with an Opossum on the fence of the run. First let me tell you the love I have for this man. He is called Scout Master Steve because he is...

Looked for the post that answered this. Cannot find it. What brand of feed was going to come in pink bags this month?? Thank you, K

I was out in the run. Gave them a wonderful dish of pasta, yogurt and broccoli. Went over to pick up a stick and... BAM... Chicken on my thigh!! So I screamed, cuz that's what anyone would do, right. Then I popped him in the butt with said stick. My DH had been behind me and he said that...

So I finally went out and painted the coop today. It is a lovely Martha Stewart Everyday Green. It was quite a hoot while doing it too. The chickens were milling about as if I were not there. They scratched and picked and busied around. And at all times there was someone in the coop. And...
