I'm sorry about your other problems, but this completely cracked me up.
I have a New Hampshire roo and several bantam roos. The hens are totally taken with the New Hampshire - after all, he is the biggest roo they have ever seen. It's a similar situation Hens: "Oh, you're so big and...
Hi. I'm about 750 posts behind. My chickens are still not laying and I haven't seen any noticeable squatting, but I have found that they are rearranging the nests and the ceramic eggs that I placed there. Twice, I have found a ceramic egg moved from my nest and either buried or arranged into...
Wow, so much going on!
I need to be friends with your friend! Awesome!
This is so adorable!
Does anyone here ferment feed? I've been reading about it, but I have found conflicting info. Some say don't cover or to cover lightly, but others say cover. I'm not sure which to do.
I feel stupid, but the cat showed up tonight! I was getting feed out and he walked by me like nothing had happened. I have to check him over, but he ate like he is starved. I'm relieved. I had an empty feeling that I would never see him again.
Wrong group to ask about whether to get an animal, lol. But I can't help, I know nothing about them except my son wants them. Yeah, we'll probably end up with pigs...
So, happy and sad today. We were practically given two horses yesterday. A quarter horse and a Tennessee Walker. The girl was...
We get a lot of cats dumped, and an occasional dog, but the day someone dumped a lop eared rabbit takes the cake. Seriously, ten o'clock at night and finding a rabbit just sitting there...poor thing. We had it for about a year before it died (natural causes).
Looking for the best price on...
Well, bigger coop is still not done. Driving. Me. Crazy.
So is the itchy spot on my back. I'm having my allergy skin test at the moment. I need to scratch.
This made me laugh. My grandmother used to can, but my mom never thought it was worth the effort. My grandmother made the best raspberry jelly and we all called it "RB" because that's what she wrote in the jars. (Sigh)
It is not quite as humid today, so it's off to work on the bigger coop...
I have heard several people mention canning poultry. What is it like? How do you use it?
Pleasantly surprised to visit the weedy garden and find some of my seeds have actually sprouted. I was sure that they rotted with all the rain.
Holy cow!!
I'm trying to contain my excitement, but I am pretty sure I just heard the egg song! My girls are 17 weeks and it was just practice, but I heard it!
Interesting. When I picked him up, my friend - who got them as chicks from a friend - said she thought New Hampshire Red. Then she sent a text and said Isa Brown. I tend to agree with you.
I don't see any difference in my chickens' beaks this morning, so I don't believe it is pox.
We were going to take our Littles to the Pittsburgh Zoo today, but it's looking a little too rainy, so we are going to check out the Aviary instead. I'm looking forward to seeing all the birds.
On a...
Hello to everyone!
There was a lot to catch up on here...
I think it's an injury too. I inspected all my birds and didn't find anything else. There are two other hens with marks in the exact same spot. They do not appear to be anything other than a scab and there was nothing there...
