Quote: What makes you think I like leaky nipples?

I tried to plan a Herb once.... Got his boots covered up, watered him, and the sumb#$@ walked away!

Farm business was growing a little. Never had so many requests for piglets as I did this spring.... piglets that I couldn't GIVE away in the fall. But.... disaster struck. When I had the fall litter I did not train the piglets to electric. So... they truly free ranged.... 30,000 acres of state...

That would take a while..... I DO have 200-250 eggs due to hatch tomorrow.... the official first day of spring. Not going another winter where I have to buy eggs. 2 dozen eggs I had to buy this winter.... On the other hand, watching hogs chew frozen eggs.... like watching an 8 year old with a...

Hello Darlin, nice to see you. It's been a long time, you're just as lovely, as you used to be- Conway

I may not give you the answer you are looking for, but my answer is be natural, and let that chicken be a chicken. I have 80 of them and sometimes they have feathers, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they lay eggs, sometimes not. Provide them adequate shelter, water and food and they will be...

Thanks for the hugs! Carla seems to have knowledge that I can't get a grasp on. I think she may have some druid in her. She constantly tells me everything will be ok. I am in this .... don't know the word for it, but I have been on commission or on my own for over 25 years and the thought...

Loanwizard feeds 16% hog feed to chicks, chicken, goose, feeders and breeders..... Yes, I am still out there. Doing a lot of reflecting lately. Trying new things, feeling sorry for myself, whining that things are turning to crap rather than gold.... I'll figure it out. Incubated 150 eggs...

Hey all, I just got my concession trailer licensed, so good to go on the funnel cake and lemonade tour! In farm news..... last hatch.... 18 chicks survived their first 4 weeks. Out of 150 eggs set, that is horrible, humidity was way too low. 3 weeks (OR SO) I sett 144 eggs. Somewhere...

Dear Moderators, I have been asked for an update, an update that will be long and painful for me. I plan to blog on it to share as a life lesson for those that care to read. I do not do it to steal readers from here. I sell food.... meat in particular and do not view myself as competition. Am...

Geez, that's criminal to feed gizzards and hearts to the animals.... Them in a pressure cooker... It is 5am and you've made me hungry!

Learning moment. This weekend, Sunday evening to be exact was the day 216 eggs had the opportunity to become chicks. Miserable hatch. May have 30..... 1.) Candled day 14 or so, tossed 9 eggs, should have tossed 10. One bad, but... hasn't exploded. Leaky, yes, exploded, no. 2.) Did NOT use...

This little pup is up for adoption. We call him Junior. He is the son of Devil Dog, a Siberian Husky that discovered our farm, our chickens, my office, and our heart. So forgive me when I call this cute little puppy the spawn of the devil. He is half Siberian Husky and half Hound Dog, 100%...

Thought you all might enjoy some photographs I took over the weekend. http://www.ohioporkandpoultry.com/1/post/2013/06/a-wonderful-summer-weekend-on-the-farm.html

Time for a cold hard pragmatic natural person step in. Nobody feels good playing God with a creature unless they are a sociopathic serial killer. It is a necessary evil that comes with the territory. You have accepted dominion over a rather helpless being and have to make these life and death...

I will be doing a count tonight.....

That broody ate the rest of the eggs. When she went broody, I put her in a rabbit cage on top of the boxes. I don't know what kind of predator would reach through and break the eggs and suck them out with a straw with a chagrined mama there. If all 12 eggs were infertile.... I have a...

Broody vs incubator Shawn style..... OK.... somebody..... with a name that rhymes with "B" said that egg eaters do not exist. Splain sumthin to this Ol' Boy..... Gal went Broody, I put her in a cage on 12 eggs. Fed and watered her regularly as she tried to kill me each time I neared the cage...

Y'all are absolutely no fun at all! If you notice, I gave you reputation or whatever they call it here..... I expected controversy.... I got nuthin..... Bruce, you're ok in my book.... a little strange, but heck, I wonder what people REALLY think about me ?
