    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I'd much rather "hear" it than "feel" it on my backside!!

    When I hear you speak, I hear the voice of the wise tribal elder, soft spoken with conviction and wisdom. Until you get peed off, then it's all thunder and ligntening!! LOL

    I think the super fleas are coming from us using so many chemicals...the toughest of the toughest have bred and become immune to the chemicals, kind of like bacteria and worms. Just my 2 cents. I will say that my mutt has less fleas since I started leaving her outside. She waddles in the sand...

    Just wondering how you do your jerky....we use the newfangled dehydrater. I'm hoping you have some old timey way of doing it and can school me.

    I'm a little afraid of sheep. The only person I know who's ever had sheep said that his couldn't get enough nutrients from grass, they were malnourished no matter how much they ate. They kept dieing, so he sent one to State College to see what the problem was...could have been the breed (or...

    I'm just wondering if I just "go ahead and get some goats" would have the same outcome.

    Actually, DH is more anxious than I am. He asks EVERY DAY whether we've gotten any eggs yet!! Did I mention he didn't want to get the chickens? You should see how he watches them. He sometime just stops whatever he's out and about doing just to watch them free range. He actually told me he...

    Thanks Bee, you were coaching me through the entire ordeal. I may be a little paranoid. When I was younger, my great uncle had an "attack rooster". When I heard that thump, thump, thump my mind went back to the days when that sound (in Uncle Leb's yard) was usually followed by a rooster's...

    Wonder how ole' Al's getting along?? It's funny how I have different "voices' in my head when I read posts, wonder y'all really sound anything like you do "in my head"! PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who does that!

    I think my cockerel is getting some hormones!! He was hatched June 22. I've seen him (I think) trying to "do the deed" a couple of times recently. This past weekend, I threw some corn out in the yard for them (I had a spot I with some new weed growth I wanted cleared, so I threw the corn out...

    I guess I need to learn to be a little more gentle when pulling the innards out! Congrats on the eggs, can't wait til I get my first ones!! Now you've given me an excuse to buy a camera, in case I have to take pics of a dead chicken!! My cell doesn't do pics, and DH and sons dropped my...

    That's pretty much how I did it. Thanks for the vids....don't know why I didn't think to check out YouTube. I had a "mishap" on one of them....I tore the intestine right near the vent. I cut around it good, but I guess I "pulled" too hard. I didn't sweat it, just pinched it off with one...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I like the graphic pics. One question....when I culled this past fall (for space), I pretty much stuck my hand up near the vent and "pulled" thing out. I did it this way because I couldn't figure how else to do it. Is there an easier/better way to get the innards out? When we had chicken...

    Actually, the past couple are the only years we've gone without owning at least a pair of beagles. We don't keep them for house pets. They are for rabbit hunting. The rabbit population is booming here again, so DH and sons want to get back into it. I don't want the beagles to protect the...
