Listen to those crickets.

@WVduck &@ Mini, The second time I watched that piano playing chicken, I noticed a red light moving from the pecked key to the next one to be pecked. I wonder if the timing is manipulated in editing...pretty clever however it is done....and a pretty clever chicken no matter how it is put...

speaking of spectacular: This one made my day!

@hennible, I have an even smaller coup with now 9 large hens. Mine free range too, except when it rains days on end, or goes well below freezing and snowy. I do know the big English Orps really do need a bit more protein, but I have not heard that the Wyandottes do. I don't think Wyandottes...

Hennible, I have three SLW that are about 5 years old now. Never saw any feather picking. I wonder if your friend's birds have enough space? Or if they are homed together with the turkeys? I've lost three birds, including my favorite English Orp brood hen this fall. My neighbor gave me a...

You have some beautiful cattle dogs! What they love most is making you so happy. Congratulations!! Betty

@Raven, congrats to you and your Cemani cockerel!! That is very, very cool neighbor.

:frow Hi everyone checking in; I am just checking in. mahen

Those turkeys look awesome! (and so does the range) and I was comforted to hear the roo had a "real" flock of his own and not a flash frozen one. :)

Chickenmathitis. Incurable. Not to be confused with epizookitus, which it can cause it if sanitary conditions are not maintained.

Shucks. I really rehome all my roosters. It is no easy feat. I have to start when I am not even sure who is a roo and who isn't. It is what makes me think "never going to hatch again" until I forget and hatch again.

I do too, Alaskan! But I also dearly love Alaskan Oatmeal Stout (which I cannot get here, and I am not sure it ever leaves Alaska.) On the wine making...the source for the grapes sort of got preempted by another of their friends here, and I never tried to make the Muscatine wine I wanted to...

@beer can...is that also an airlock of sorts?

Bonus! thanks, Deb I have cooked and mashed the muscadines, and have the result in cheese cloth bags dripping through a metal cone jelly sieve. I have been sprinkling sugar in the remains in ladles and cookig pots and eating that gritty. The taste is amazing, and so nostalgic for me. The five...

@ cold Canadian: I picked and stemmed five pounds of muscadine grapes yesterday. Now I am thinking I will make jelly first. What has me stumped in the field and stream recipe for winemaking is the last sentence: "When the mixture quits bubbling, wait two days, then siphon the wine into...

@ perchie... Thanks for the muscadine wine recipe link! It does sound easy. I envisioned having to pick wash tubs full of grapes and "smash them with my feet" a la the old skit by Lucile Ball (actually I relished that part.) The recipe requires only a gallon of grapes... and I could get...

They don't have any teeth. :yiipchick

Rehomed the latest two roosters last night. Poor pullet I kept is roaming around looking lost. Her "flock" is missing and she has not made friends with any older chickens. Hope she does in time. My neighbor has a fifty foot trellis/ fence loaded with muscadine grapes. They are beautifully...

@Canadian: I wish I lived close enough to slip under yer fence and steal one of those beautiful watermelons. :lol:
