--- ALERT --- Chicken Hawk aka Cooper hawk got one of our birds. Mom is happy is was a spare roo and not one of the new hens from added to the flock last night. Goats are now back in the penned area and the dogs on lines outside the fence. Back to perimeter patrol they go. Anyone ever try...

Well mom left a few hours ago. A farm has RI Reds that just started laying. The have them for $10 each. She just got the last 4 tonight. From what I heard, there were a few hundred. Looks like the RI Red population in our area is making a big come back. Now it's my turn. I got to build on...

Time to get the DE on them ASAP. Wipe it as evenly as you can get it down to the skin. The problem areas are the vent and rear. Sometimes plucking some rear feathers helps with daily treatments. Keep it up daily for at least 3 weeks. Put the DE in the dust bath areas too. Generous helpings...

The Sprinfield one on US-41 at the fair grounds is a hit-or-miss for selection. Not all farmers show up every weekend. Also, that market is not geared to prevent produce from outher countries nor other areas of the country being sold. So, it's really no different than going to Krogers...

The electric dog collars have so-so effects even on the highest settings. If a dog is determined to do something, it will ignore the static shock bursts. Now, with that said, there are electric dog collars that have remotes so you can control the bad behavior and apply verbal correction. This...

Sorry to hear. We have lost 5 since late last year due to the dog. It's not so much that our dog goes after them to purposely kill them to chew, but the dog wants to play too hard with them. We have since placed dog runs on the farm away from the chicken penned yards.

TinTN, Ridgetop Mower has moved. They closed the location at Bill Jones and Industrial Drive and moved to the inner business district of downtown Springfield. Gary moved someplace over near the Springfield Post Office now. As for the box crates, my dad actually works for the company that...

Ridgetop Mowers relocated this year. Not sure if the box crates went to that new location or are elsewhere. Or, you can contact the company that gives them out for FREE. Johnson Electric, 755 Bill Jones Industiral Drive, Springfield, TN, 37172 The boxes are made in Italy, shipped here with...

Same here, no power out on the farm. BUT, the KMart and BigLots after Christmas 70% mark-downs allowed the solar lawn lights with snowflakes to only be 50-cents each. Mom grabbed a whole bunch.

Hey, welcome. I got into this egg thing too because of mom. Actually, she's made it one of our school projects like 4H. haha

What's all included with the unit? Does it have an egg turner? How many eggs can it incubate at a given time?

OUCH! That is a sad lose. If you need a Barred Rock roo or a White Plymouth Rock roo, we have a few to spare. We are just up the road from you. They are all about 22 weeks old. Late last year, we had a near-miss of a tree on the property. A direct hit would have set us back a good deal.

What a storm. Heavy rain, heavy high winds and strangely, no lightning whats-so-ever. Whit that said, the 3:12am blast that lasted 20mins sure showed telling tales of a few tornado. The sirens went off all around us if one could just stay calm enough to try to listen. The winds actully did a...

Ouch. Those prices are a bit high. Soccer, hockey, baseball foul ball netting in the rolls are a bit cheaper.

+1 for you!

' = feet. Think of it as a single foot print. " = inches. Think of it as toe markings. If it was shown in metric, let's run to the hills. haha

Seems that you are in the middle of .... nowhere. Guess this thread is about to being as close as you can find. Chattanooga is about the same distance to Nashville from your local. The good thing is, this thread stays mostly active. :) We're north of Nashville near the KY state line. Check...

Thanks a bunch! Feed costs keep rising and we do have a few oaks on the farm. The leaves are gone, so telling what type of oak isn't possible now. I've seen acorns easily opened up and course ground using a hand hard corn grinder. This way, adding the acorn meal to the feed mix would be...

Tossing this question back into the ring here .... .

If you look on Craigs list, you can pick up 275-gallon IBC food grade square totes with the metal cage for about $100. These are easier to use than the 55-gallon barrels.
