Also late to the molting topic but I feel I've gathered enough feathers to make a new chicken! I was thinking maybe I could stuff a pillow if I took off the quills...?
Had the Dish salesmen at my door the other day(they dug my chickens). It really seemed like an awesome deal but literally no one I know has Dish... my husband remembers people saying the internet was slow but we have Comcast now and our internet is slow now so... any one have any thoughts on...
My girls are relatively quiet unless they are laying in which case they will sing for 10-30 minutes after laying. My white leghorn is the quietest girl, my barred rock makes a lot of whining noises, my EE grunts but doesn't talk much, my speckled sussex will go off for no reason sometimes but...
Is it normal for chickens with tiny combs to get hotter? I just assumed maybe that was the reason my EE is panting and holding her wings out a bit more than the others. She was so hot and panting the other day she didn't finish swallowing something and just stood there with her mouth open and it...
Yeah having them in the garden while you want to eat what you're growing isnt a good idea generally. I let them forage around it after everything dies. But the plank of wood, that can be around the garden, the bugs will hide under it during the day and when you flip it over there they are! I...
Isnt this what chickens are for?! Honestly I'm surprised I still have pill bugs :gig
Those pests, I've read, aren't really bad for the garden I read? But maybe they just really like your beans? You could try making "traps" for them? Lay down a board, come back a few days later with your...
I'm not sure what it is about sugar snap peas that seems to attract every living bug creature around... Luckily the hover fly larvae seem to enjoy eating the aphids even if the ladybugs don't... They just aren't as cute ;(
I got more stuff going on in my garden than anything, feeding the goosefoot to the chickens, they really like it ;)
I'm glad I saw some of the ladybugs I released the other day out there... When I put them out they just scattered and didn't even eat any aphids >_> I was upset...
I saw someone on craigslist said you could send them back the cockerels back but not for a refund. I thought it was at least a nice gesture, especially for someone like me who wouldn't want to process them myself either DX
I was just about to mention Craigslist, I was interested in blueish chickens and found several there. I was wondering if there is anything to worry about with craigslist chicks? A few of them claim they are vaccinated for mareks.
That's beautiful!
Unfortunately we weren't prepared for the deer this year for whatever reason (they come every year you'd think we'd have it covered), they ate the first blooms off my rose. But it's got more buds so I might actually get to enjoy them this year X'D
I'm not really joking about those lavender orpingtons though, they are beautiful!
My Big Mama chicken laid her egg finally, so I think she will be ok for now.. but I have been thinking of getting another chicken~
