Silkie Owners help! Does anyone clip the feathers around their silkies eyes? My poor girl really looks and acts like she can't see at all. I cant see her eyes at all through the fluff so I doubt she can see.
Looking to rehome the two Ameraucana Roos. They're about 5-6 mo old and very feisty. Only have 8 chickens and three Roos is major overkill so... Pm me if you're interested. Not looking to make a profit. Paid $5/each for them so make an offer and I'll definitely consider. Located in Southeastern...

I have been building a chicken coop/run, then bad weather, which has put me about 3 weeks past when I wanted to harvest...
Next time, quart bags I think! All those greens only made FIVE gallon bags.
ALSO, it took me roughly 4 months to grow, and 6 hours to clean, cut, and blanch them... For 5 "meals"...
I love my sink =] It makes doing things like this much easier!!
Collards are super easy and don't need super beefed up soil to give you a good crop!
I filled up two 13 gallon trash cans of scraps! My chicks are all between 2-5 weeks and they looked at what I tossed them like 'What the crap...
