So last night I finished up the expansion of our chicken run! As I was picking up I went into the coop to do my chicken headcount and while I step to the other side of my coop to count the other half something ran into my foot!!! Ugh!! Went in the house for a better light my spotlight, and saw...
I have a peafowl but I am very new to it. I housed mine for about 2 months to get him familiar with us and the chickens, ducks and fed him in the same spot everyday so that he would learn where the food was to keep him home verses wondering off and not returning home. We slowly let him out...
I was told he's not even a year old and that he was born like that. His middle toe looks swollen! What can I do for leg mites!? Can he die from this? Cause he didn't look too good this morning and I'm on my way to classes and won't be home until midafternoon and I'm afraid he's not going to make...
I seriously have no idea what's going on with my new rooster. I found him and his brother on Facebook and immediately went and got them! They are gorgeous! Especially the one that I had my eye on! When I went to go get him I noticed his feet were different. His toes never fully grew!! The lady...
Oh my! Busy busy busy around here! I will have to update everyone of what has happened to us on our farm later, but for now I question about my chick! My chick is almost 2 months old. She has been outside for the past 3 weeks and doing great!! Yesterday I started noticing that something was...
Glad you are feeling better! But I was on Craigslist today and up here in northern Indiana someone had pheasants for sale. I read that there were a yellow golden, red golden and a lady Amherst. I'm not sure how far you are willing to travel but that might an option for you! I looked up what a...
I am just going to apologize now for the overload of pictures I'm going to post! I was on this T-shirt website called teepring. I have ordered a shirt from them last summer, but I saw this shirt for medical assistants since that's what I'm going to school for and had to check it out. Then I...
Oh yeah they are the easiest to clean no doubt! Glad there's a reason for the "slippery" coating on the eggs! I thought I was crazy....lol. I don't the eggs too often, but I have noticed that the ones that I do are the ones that have the slippery bloom! Thank you!!!
Question, Why are some eggs "slippery"? When I collect my eggs and take them inside to rinse them off from whatever may be on them, poop, mud, yolk, feathers, etc., whatever it is I don't want to think about what I just touched LOL, when my hands have been wet and I go to grab an egg, and...
Great!! I was excited about the pigs and using their manure for my garden. We have plenty of room for our pigs for a pasture, but we are building a pen right outside the barn on the concrete, cause with this being our first year with pigs we're and by "we're" I mean me, lol, know how this is...
