Hey all, I'm back! I was working my butt off at a temp job last month on the other side of town and I also got sort of sick with bronchitis.
working on getting all the packing peanuts and red broilers in the freezer yesterday and today so that it will be a little quieter around here. Actually...
Hey, Ice. They should be more than fine at that age. I wouldn't worry at all once they have most of their normal feathers. Temperatures above freezing are really mild for chickens.
Mikey, the clinic job is nice but the drive is a killer. This was supposed to be my last week but they want me to...
You can get those vitamin packets from any of the hatcheries. Most feed stores and online vet supplies like Jeffers will carry them, too. They're cheap and good insurance.
i also like to feed some nutritional yeast as insurance. It's loaded with B-vitamins, especially thiamin and niacin, which...
Hey, I'm here. I've been working a killer temp job the last few weeks. I'm employed by a locums company and cover for different clinics that need a doctor. Right now, I'm working for a federally funded community clinic way over in Glendale, 5 days a week, 9 hours a day, and driving well over an...
We had that 12 pounder tonight with mashed potatoes, fresh green beans and homemade cranberry sauce. I'll have to come up with some recipes for about 10 more meals of leftover chicken, lol.
How do I get these monsters to cook evenly? The thermostat says 165 and it will still be slightly...

I really hate...

I can just imagine this guy, he'll look like those rubber chickens they sell for doggy toys. Or, worse,ones I saw in Nicauragua with flies on them, still with legs and heads, hanging in the meat market.

There's a good chance I could be talked into that. Although, my dogs would probably end up eating him first.

I think silkies can be slow to mature. Not all banty breeds, though.
My kitten went to get neutered. He was really good in the car, I felt so bad taking him in for surgery. He thought he was Just going for a fun car ride, then the vet was giving him all that wonderful attention and...
The fat rooster is in the fridge! He weighed , drum-roll, 11.95 pounds all naked and ready to bake. Well, actually, I'm going to brine him first.
So, he was probably like 16 pounds "on the hoof"!
I'm thinking cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes sometime this week for a little...

No...I had that happen a couple of weeks ago, except it was a white pullet, not a rooster. Except for the red earlobes, looks like a leghorn. Turns out a neighbor kid rescued it from being run over (it was in the middle of the street) in the neighborhood next to us...
