COWS!!!!! We need cows! And horses! And ducks! And geese! And quail, and peacocks, and CATS! We need cats!! Maybe ferrets, and pigs, and donkeys and we can make some mules, and we can .... Woman, watch what you ask me. I may be a city girl, but I love animals! Lions and tigers and...

Here's its legs. Deffinately thicker than my other chicks but the bird itself is not much bigger than my small fist.

Can anyone give me a guess to what this might be. It was in the bantam bin with the silkies I purchased. I was first thinking that it was a meat bird but it is now still slightly smaller than the silkies at 4-5 weeks of age. Taking poultry to auction tmw and am willing to keep this one if it...

I got new Peeps today

I really need to stay out of TSC during chick weeks!!. I went there today for some duct tape, honestly that was it. I made it to the register with just the duct tape. I was so proud of myself :) then it happened. I opened my mouth...and ended up buying the last 8 tetra tints that were in one of...

How do you tell if fermented feed spoiled? I have a small batch that I didn't stir for a few days. It had a whitish look on the top but smelled kind of sweet. It doesn't smell spoiled but then again I have never smelled spoiled fermented feed. No mold on it so that is a good thing :)

For those of you talking about the lilacs. I have a lilac tree (bush) so how do I go about rooting some of the runners for new trees?

What is going on with this weather!! I had all day Saturday to myself so I decided it would be the perfect time to build a grow out coop. Now it didn't turn out how envisioned it but it all worked out in the end. Started out with 4 pallets (I seem to have an issue hoarding them) a 4' door with...

Thought this was so sweet

The first 2 hatched on Saturday, the next one on Sunday and then one today. On Sunday evening I put a small bowl of food and a chick waterer in the brooder with her. I knew the 1st 2 where Ok for 24 hours without food, today they are both drinking and eating as she watches and clucks at them...

Rough guess 40'x100'. I have ducks and geese too. That's why its so bad.

I would need a dump truck full :)

One more fluffy chick today. That makes 4. She is still sitting tight though on 4 eggs. I know she stole them so I don't know how far along they might be if they are even Ok. Will she get up when she believes they are done? I figured I'd give it till Wednesday at the latest. I've read that some...

I did read somewhere about giving dairy the last few weeks. Of course now I have no idea where I read it since I have no plan of doing meaties.

One more chick hatched. Fluffy yellow one. She's still sitting so keeping my fingers crossed that a few more will hatch.

Day 21 and 2 eggs hatched under my broodie. She is still sitting tight so hopefully a few more will hatch. One is a little chipmunk and the other is black with a white bib. Both clean yellow legs. Gotta love the mystery of the barnyard mix :) hoping for some silkie mix.

After doing ducklings now for the 2nd year my thoughts on the perfect brooder would be an old bath tub. Its a good thing I don't have a place to put one.

My broody is on day 18. Today is the 1st time I have seen her outside eating as well. I'm sure she has but I'll tell ya putting all of the guys into their own bachelor pad made a difference in my girls. They were all running around happy and not up on branches just hanging out. Also got a record...

Speaking of socialization. Tonight I had just about enough from my roos. Long story short they got their own bachelor pad. 8 larger ones put in with 6 bantams. They were not happy!! The little guys kicked some butt. That's what happens when they want to gang up on my Cochin hen. They all get a...

Here's my lone yellow leg from the bantam bin. Any Guess's on what it might be?
