My old rooster is an easter egger -- all of his offspring have been 5-6 egg/week layers. I need to buy some EE eggs next year in the hopes of hatching some females to mate with my BCM rooster, so I can get olive eggers. I'm dying to fire up the incubator already and it's the middle of...

:hugs Those puppies were lucky to have shared their lives with you. Now they are together again.

There is a pretty huge range of "normal" in chicken poop. Google "chicken poop chart." Pinkish coloring can be caused by something they ate, or normal, minor shedding of intestinal lining. I generally don't worry about an odd looking poop, unless there is something about the bird itself that...

That's me! Retired from my "real" job that is. Now I'm gainfully employed as a hobby farmer.

We processed the last of the meat box heroes yesterday. After culling one early for impacted crop, the remaining 22 all did great. They got more active as the weather cooled and were nice, healthy chickens. We've been butchering them in groups over the last month. At one point my husband...

Wow. That looks so professional -- and tasty. Ha! Cyprus and I were typing the same thing at the same time!

Yes! That looked amazing.

:wee I was wondering how she was doing as well. Glad that it's good news.

Yikes. I was researching this issue some more today. Some states now ban the sale of dogs from breeders. California just passed a law last year making it illegal for pet stores to offer dogs for sale unless they come from rescue organization or shelters. The end result has been an upsurge of...

:hugs

There is no harder or more heartbreaking decision in pet ownership that this. My heart goes out to you and Red.

That's so true. We got our last dog at the shelter by pure luck. We were the shelter registering our other dogs and saw her. She has just come in and was still recovering from being spayed. We had to take her on the spot, as she was slated to be picked up by a rescue organization at the end...

My fingers are crossed for you. Poor duck!

I'm so, so sorry. Hugs to you and the rest of your family and pups.

I'm too old to use HP now. But, when I was in college, I had a friend who did. She says she just dipped her fingers in it, and ran them through her hair. It looked OK, truth be told. You are young. Take chances.

These look amazing. :drool

I can't believe I didn't notice until I saw this post! I'm much more focused on the avatars.

Sorry about your quail eggs, Kiki. The little guy probably needs some more practice before he is able to reliably hit the target. Update on my meat box heroes. We ended up culling the one with the sour crop a couple of weeks ago. Pitiful and skinny as it was, it still was over a pound...

It's a little tough to watch birds establish their pecking order. Just remember that so long as no one is bleeding or starving, it will be alright in the end.

Cuteness makes up for a lot.
