I've been thinking of going to the Silex Chicken Swap next Saturday and was wondering if anyone here has ever gone to it. I"m looking to pick up a few more Chickens for my flock since I lost some over the summer. Also my wife continues to remind me that she wants Silkies so I was hoping to find...

I took a nice buck opening weekend. Took it to a meat shop to have it processed out. I'm sure that my bill will be close to $200 when I get my meat back. They charge to skin it but they also have a charge if you skin it. Then there's a charge to cut it, a charge to grind any of it plus the...

Woke up this morning to the sound of a plow truck going by. Looked out and saw that we had gotten three more inches of snow. This time it is more what we are used to around here. It will snow and then the sun comes out and melts it away. It is a beautiful day out today. The sun is shining and...

Quote: I don't have an answer to your question but I do want to welcome you to BYC and I'm glad that you found us, your neighbors here.

davony's chicks : It sounds like the rest of you didn't get what we did! We got about 7-8 inches! I did't leave at all today! Hope we dont get anymore of this junk, I have had enough for this winter. What part of the state are you at? How much did you get from that storm last week?

We got about an inch of new snow today. Maybe a bit more here on the east side of the state. Just enough to cover the dirty snow!

The only time I left home yesterday was to go and get gas for my son's fourwheeler. My two boys tied their sled and went out across the yard. The snow was so deep that the fourwheeler kept gettng stuck until the managed to pack down a path in the snow. I remember the days of being out playing in...

I have no problems with this much snow. I enjoy the seasons for what they are. A lot of people are talking and wishing for summer but I'm not quite ready for 95 degrees and 90% humidity. We will be through this soon enough. I am planning my garden and wanting to be able to get started but that...

Quote: I also got eleven inches here on the east central part of the state. I live right a long that I-70 corridor which they said the snow storm was tracking along. My son made $25 on the first driveway he shoveled. It is going to be a good money making day for him.

Hey emarble it seems like you will be able to sleep in tomorrow with all of this new snow that we are getting.

We could have a BYC meetup at Jacob's Cave.

Most times the live stock that the farm supply stores have is not kept at the stores very long. My experience has been that they get restocked each week. If the store has a bad or sick stock then I would think that it was from the supply side of things. I'm not saying anything directly about...

Some of my girls are adjusting to the snow. Yesterday the only time they came out of the coop was to scratch through a clump of straw I put in their run. Today I left the door of the run open and by this afternoon a few of them had enough of being cooped up and came out through the snow. My boys...

davony's chicks : Thanks chickenshagg. I kind of feel like a fool about the BOSS I should have figured that one out but I have never heard of kefir. I will have to try feeding that. I have really only fed my birds veggies and have heard of yogurt and other things like table scraps. I hope...

BOSS is Black Oil Sunflower Seeds and Kefir is kind of like yogurt. It is thicker than Buttermilk but thinner than yogurt you can usually find it in the Dairy section of your grocery store

Emarble don't think of yourself as a sucker for adding a bit of heat. I've read all the post from our northern neighbors saying how we do not need to provide additional heat in a well built coop but I can't sleep without thinking about my chickens and the cold. I have not used the heat lamp as...

I just through down a clump of straw ontop of the snow at the bottom of their ramp from the coop. I knew they could not resist coming out and scratching through it. And by them scratching through it they spread it out across the snow which helps feep their feet and toes out of the snow allowing...

Quote: Seneca is about as far south in Missouri as you can get. Been there, a lot of Indian territory around there! I am in Jefferson County, so very close to you(St. Charles) I am interested in EE's. Did you order yours from a hatchery or did you get them locally? I ordered my EE from MY...
