Everything is pretty good in Morrisville at Russo's Roost. Me and my rooster are seeing eye to eye lately after he thought he was the better of the two of us. Here's what I have found. He becomes aggressive towards running shoes with night reflectors on them, even in the daytime, he goes...

Sorry to hear thet One Acre Wonder Farm. I guess you didn't try any of my suggestions. On the positive side, any chicks that do hatch will probably be more cold tollerant.

Hi One Acre Wonderfarm, I am in Morrisville, about 2 1/2 miles from Copley Hospital and we haven't lost power at all. As a matter of fact, when we lived in FLorida with all underground utilities we used to loose the power once or tice a month, here in Vermont we have only lost it 3 times in 4...

Welcome Townshend, I always wondered where "Funny Farm" was shot in Vermont.

Hi PigCoon, how did you make out, Hen or Rooster? All my goldens are hen's and 2 of the 3 Plymouth Rock Barred are also,I have one Rooster, BB, and he is a good looking rooster. Luckily local laws don't prohibit me from having one as they are all pets now withthe side benefit of laying eggs...

Hello Northfield and Brookfield from Morrisville VT. Here's an update on what's going on at Russo's Roost. Tinkerbelle the wonderchick, now 19, almost 20 weeks old (same with all my chicks and roo) has been laying an egg a day since 16 weeks 2 days, all on the smaller side, about 2 oz. Cybil...

That gives me an idea, I could put a hard boiled egg in each of the 2 nesting boxes I have. That way if it gets broken it wont make a mess. Thanks for the advise. I have 3 golden comets and 3 Plymouth Rock Barred chicks, 8 weeks old on Wednesday. They have been out in the coop for 3 weeks. I...

Congratulations and how exciting it must be for you. I keep wondering what goes through a chickens little mind the first time it lays an egg, especially in my case where there are no older chickens around that they can observe. Someone told me to put a fake egg in the nesting box to give them...

I'll pass on your offer thanks, my 6 are 7 weeks old and I am pretty sure one of the Plymouth Rock Barred is a Roo, judging by the comb and size,not to mention teh aggressiveness. I could be wrong though. I hope the other 5 will be hens,, I guess one roo in the group isn't bad but I was hoping...

No freeze or frost here in Morrisville least night, 38 was the lowest temperature I recorded for the night. I have a view of Mt. Mansfield from the front of my house, there was new snow on the ski trails late yesterday afternoon but none now at 9:30 AM Monday. I spent the day yesterday...

Yes, 3 weeks old for all 6 of my girls. The Plymouth Rock Barred chicks are all about the same size and kind of laid back, the 3 golden comets are all different and more hyper. We have one that had pasty butt and was smaller then the rest when we got her, it took a good 10 days for her to get...

My girls are 3 weeks old yesterday, they have been outside once, last Thursday when we hit 85 and SUNNY in the afternoon I put them in a penne din area. Do any of you remember "SUNNY"? I have only fed the chicks their Chick Staeter, I have to start them on some other food like veggies and grass...

Congratulations, mine are 1 week old today, 5 are doing well but the one that started with pasty butt is smaller then the rest, Sue named her "Tinkerbell". Sue also didn't want chickens, she melted when we got them;)

Hi One Acre Wonder Farm, The closest I can come to saying I am a Vermonter is that I am form New England, born in Weymouth Mass. We came to Vermont 32 years ago on our honeymoon and fell in love with the area, business took us to Florida for many years but 3 years ago, 2006, we moved here...
