Hey all havent been on in a while. Our hens are laying and the eggs just keep coming. Its great. And all my frienda love our eggs! On a sad note my pigs got out yesterday and the neighbor shot one for ruining her flowers! She wounded it and let it sit in the yard and suffer for six hours...

Yes he was a house dog....I know I know. He is almost two years old and only weighs 85 lbs! He was eating nasty pedigree food. Diamond high protein is what we use and he ate about six cups of it this morning. I am not sure he even knows his name. He has done well on his first day. He has already...

Got a new addition to the farm today...hes a big boy with tons of potential. Saw his first chickens and pigs today, lots of work to follow. He needs to gain about 50 pounds too. His name is Sandy....poor guy.

Our pit bull has taken quite a few coons without damage to her but she sleeps inside with our baby and is a big baby herself. We had a German shepherd that killed every furry critter in sight but he also decided one day to kill 14 chickens so he got rehomed far away from chickens. We just...

Presently battling a raccoon!!! He has outsmarted my live trap twice and I caught him climbing down my chain link pen...I got a shot off but I don't think I got him. He killed a juvenile jersey giant rooster last night. Poor guy didn't go to bed with the others. We are just having the worst...

Hey all haven't been on in a while very very busy..... Had a very scary close call Saturday night, coming home with the wife and daughter in the car when we hydroplaned over a guard rail into 6 feet of overflowing creek. We had to climb onto the roof of the truck and wait for fire rescue...

got lots more work done

We have a mountain out here in butler county so dont count that possibility out. I have never heard her scream but I have caught her on game cameras. Everyone says they dont live out here. We also have some coyote wild dog mixes that are almost wolf sized.

finished up the wall framework today. And set the subfloor. I havent done any framing since I was in the air force about ten years ago but I am picking it back up and content with whats done so far. And I am also out of 2x4s so back to cutting up some more huge pallets. I am considering some man...

got a new coop going up as weather permits. It is sitting on a pallet I got from work, it was used to ship a kenworth daycab. Its probably 300lbs of overkill. Its about 8'×6' with 6' walls. We will be building a walk in door with a pop up for the birds, and an entire wall for nesting boxes with...

@sharol hey your campines have been fully integrated into my flock and are doing great! On a side note they only like to eat scratch from my hand, not interested in what spills out hahaha. They have now taught my other birds to line up at the pen gate for treats! I a few weeks they will be...

@chicken danz I was planning on just clear coating the outside with some ppg paint from work. It is semi truck clear and will last a million miles. It would be done already but we had to start a new flock in there. They will be moving into a retrofitted tack house soon. Once they are big enough...

here is our brooding coop. I was basically free and some piglets

We went and picked up our piglets on sunday! They are grunting and digging up next years garden. Every bit of leftovers the chickens cant have the pigs are very appreciative for. I don't know which makes funnier happy noises.

Those campines are silly birds. I put them in a quarantine pen. They have a nice coop but wanted to roost on the roof instead. I picked up three and put them inside and the fourth walked around the roof for a while then decided not to be alone out here and jumped in for the night.

Thank you sharol! Those campines are clucking chirping and scratching about their new home.

Danz, the insurance can cut you a check and you can still keep the truck. I work with insurance everyday and know some of their tricks.with a small bit of money you can buy a front cut of another truck and swap the parts

Danz.... where are you located? I do collision work for a living if you are wantig to fix the truck you can get parts cheaper from LKQ I can install them. I have a paint booth at work. Pm me and we can work something out mabye. My shop is in wichita.

Ahh about that that bad luck....had a rat snake in my brooding coop, he got two chicks. Disposed of that guy to find a 5 foot garder in their too! Everybody has been burning and shifted the hunting grounds around. I showed the chicks I got him and they went back into the coop after ensuring that...

Lizzy we had some terrible luck this year too. We had 15 healthy happy hatchery birds about 8 weeks old. Our dog killed 14 of them for sport. One very traumatized roo made his way back to the coop. I found him pacing back and forth looking for his flock. He is quite flighty now. We got him some...
