Let's see: This year I am planning on a human hatchling at the end of April. If that goes OK, then I plan to try meaties for the first time with 4-6, likely ordered from a local feed store as I can get that many from them through the end of May. For layers, I need to add about 4 new ladies...

http://cbs12.com/news/top-stories/stories/11foot-gator-eats-burglary-suspect-hiding-florida-pond-31896.shtml Actually, I'm sad about the fate of this gator - think of the other riff raff he could have consumed.....

For potatoes, it's a crystaline alkaloid called solanine that is poisonous to chicken - for white potatoes; they are from the nightshade family. It's in the green parts of the plant, in the raw potato (sometimes you get a batch and you see a greenish tint under the skin?, that part). Solanine...

Greetings again from Western WI! Our weather has been 'Kansas City' ish, vs MN/WIish Rather than highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s (normal this time of year), we've had highs in the mid 40s and lows are sometimes not even below freezing. Some people blame Super El Niño(Is that a superhero...

Will you be making a how you raised ducks page like you made this one? As I've mentioned, I'm still considering them, and love watching how they grow. Or will you just share here with us?

So much has happened while I was away! Brush off my stool, if I have one somewhere. If not, I prop up walls really well. I have been having the trip of my dreams up in Alaska. It was cold, and raining, and it was still amazing. We tried deep sea fishing and the DH and I brought home 26...

This morning I thought I had interrupted the first scene from West Side Story. Although, instead of the sharks and the jets getting into it with a song and dance routine, it was the Turkeys and the Chickens. I own chickens, the turkeys are wild and eat my birdfood - they feel entitled to it...

Quote: Even in 'mutt' breeds they run different. I have three EEs, and each one has her own gait! My favorite of all my chickies is the 'run run run, oh no - the others are beating me to the treats, I will flap my wings and run and maybe fly 4-8 feet and cluck loudly like I'm in distress...

Wow, I have to be away from the computer a few days and a whole lot has happened! Daskhan, feel better - I concur with Red Nugget, have patience with your doctors, and schedule that follow up visit. As lame as it sounds, if you keep a little log of when the headaches and other symptoms come...

Those are happy, healthy meatballs Ralph - do you ever feel like the pied piper? I know I have that feeling with my layers, they follow me around the yard, watching what I do, to see if they can mimic and thus find more delicious nibbles. This summer they learned how to pick my rasperries, and...

Feel better soon JR, and you to Ant Farm. I went to Kentucky for work last week - 118 with the heat index. Nope, not for me! I'll keep my Northern Climes, including the 3feet of snow in winter. I can add layers, but I'd get arrested taking off as much as needed to try to cool down!

I tried - I let them all out when the rabbit was there, and they considered chasing it, however, they were distracted by the grasshoppers, and let the rabbit live.

Quote: Oh, I'm so in want of chicks! Cuteness overload indeed! I love my EEs and I miss having chicks...Le Sigh of Longing here! Next spring, meaties and eggers... In other news, I'm practicing with my bow, there are a few cute fuzzy bunnies in my front yard that have eaten the daisies one...

Ralph, I am so sorry!i will throw the meatball am Irish wake tonight with some vodka. It does happen, but I would be bawling and verbally berating myself if it were me.

Jessica - you have a knack for photography, and I love your new chicken home! I haven't had hawk or eagle or owl problems yet....course, I only have layers right now and I usually only let them out when I'm also out. I've had a buck touch noses with one of my girls, and a drake wander in...

Ralph and JR - I would say 'the more the merrier', but as this is a combo delayed honeymoon and celebrating my b-day....that might get awkward Alaska has been on my bucket list for over a decade, so very excited - I'm having fun planning what we'll do and where we'll go. The problem...

Holm - so sorry to hear that! I really hope things work out so you can have some chickies in your future!

I have not made any progress on getting my meaties. I had a plan all worked out - how to build a chicken tractor, where to put the brooder, but hadn't yet gotten a call into find my chicks. Now I think I might just need to wait until next year and live vicariously through all of you. Not...

Bon Voyage MM! Have a safe and wonderful trip, and take some good Canadian Chicken Pictures to share with us! Nugget - There is a WI Poultry Facebook Group that I stalk (er....watch) for new fluffers, not that I've bought any yet. I wonder if your area has something like that? You could put...

Jessica - So sorry to hear about Sunny! I'm glad you gave her such a wonderful life.
