I KNEW they weren't real chickens! Courting a towel..... shew....

I built a hoop coop for the first time this summer. It won't be my last. As I grow and my equipment grows I have needed garage space. I have been collecting pallets and just put up a 12 x 20 3 sided shed for some of it. 2 skid high, steel top. I am out of free material so looking for more...

Fermenting feed with meth? What an idea!

About wariness.... My 96 birds have hogs, dogs, cats, hawks, coon, possum, coyote, eagles, owls, and I am sure other animals that I am not aware of. Cats- mostly farm cats, but house cats too- about a dozen. Dogs- 8 of them if you include the beagles Hogs-9.... Believe it or not, these are the...

Very well said!

Just think... a drunken person might just kiss them there lips.....

Difference between hay and straw. Hay is a mature grass that is cut, dried, baled and then used as a feed source for plant eating animals. Straw is the stem of typically wheat, rye and barley that has insulating qualities due to the hollow stem, thus the name straw. Think of it this way. You...

I couldn't resist.... Y'all left it sooo wide open for me Actually, it is a 72lb 8oz. Blue Catfish caught out of the James River in Chester Virginia. It was returned alive to grow and fight another day. Besides selling cars, renting apartments, auctions, raising layers, meat chickens, hogs...

It's my niece....

You put it so eloquently. When I do it, I take a broomstick, place the bird on the ground (I carry by the feet), place the broomstick over the head in the neck area, thank the bird for what is has given to my life, and yank. Yes, the head comes off and it is not difficult. I then swing the...

This is a joke, and probably in bad taste as you may have ill chickens, which I know worries the heck out of you, at least it bothers me when I have an ill animal, but my first thought was maybe that there feed is too fermented and your birds are drunk or hung over.... Sorry, I said it was...

Quick question. Halloween is coming and I have already place a facebook call to my friends and neighbors not to clog the landfills that my hogs and chickens will love them. How many is too many? I don't wish to make them sick. Can I just add them to the compost heap and pull some out every once...

Amen! Plus, doing it this way is a lot less work.

Ooops! Not sage.... ACV Sometimes I crack myself up....

Quote: Amen Bee! I have done er both ways and nearly lost my entire flock in run/jail. I have my birds in an open barn, 86 or so plus juveniles. I covered the stalls for emergency situations, but for everyday they roost where they want. Due to a wee bit of overcrowding, I have a few that...

Really quick on the fermented feed arena. I somewhere got the idea that it took 2 weeks to a month to get feed to ferment instead of a day or two. As you know Bee, I have 85 birds more or less and was wondering, how much to start using crumbles, not pellets, and how do you feed them? You just...

Let me tell you what. Your birds are fed much better than mine as far as a human standpoint. Mine do free range, but you feed good stuff it seems. If you are feeding layer feed, the oyster shell is kind of overkill in my opinion and I am not an old timer. I will leave the lice problem to Bee or...

Some of y'all must not have ever met Bruce...er....bruce....in person. He does indeed have the physical traits that might be enhanced by an over the shoulder boulder holder. Now he ain't no EE, but probably a solid C. Personally, walking around as a "free boober", I think he looks like a...

I was going to use some of my acerbic wit, especially when you said impugned, and tell you to cull them, but then read the story. Found out that you are not that altogether different from some of us. Now you have some understanding of why I have tried to bottle feed baby bunnies to no avail I...
