I was just thinking, wouldn't it be interesting to hear stories/memories from members on how your parents, Granny and Gramps, or Great-greats raised their chickens in backyards and farms.
Where did they keep them? What did the feed them, funny stories, etc....
I have read a few comments in...
Names have been changed to protect the dignity of the guilty.
I let my ducks out like usual this morning, and then IT happened. My sweet, adorable, well-loved, well fed drake found a disgusting little dead mouse (my chickens are famous for killing mice and then leaving them around the yard in...
So, I bet you all want to know what you're doing here, huh? Well, buckle up, buttercup.
Welcome to The Island of the Golden Fools. Or, get ready to end up there.
Name's Abriana and here's the deal. We're a group of criminals and the world doesn't really accept that. I've came up with a...
Got a letter from Grandma today. She writes...
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore
and saw a "Honk If You Love Jesus " bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day
because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance,
followed by a thunderous prayer...
I want to hear your favorite mischief story! We all know our geese are just feathered toddlers, and here's why...
Duck mischief is always welcome too :D
Hear ye! Hear ye! On this 12th morning of September, an epic battle between Gander and beast took place for the love of Princess BB. Sir Chance fought bravely, defeating the terrifying creature and saving the kingdom from certain death! He will be remembered for all time as the knight who...
Long story short: I rescued a baby pigeon that was found on the floor of my barn a few months ago now. Decided to keep the pigeon, as it wouldn't have survival instincts being raised by a human. He does great and has adapted well to indoor life (though I do take him outside with me a lot!)...
Ok, so a little background on this thing I have to share. I had two chickens, I now have one, she sounded so pitiful all alone in her yard that my mom let me get some chicks. The chicks( in a brooder box) and the chicken(started pullet) are currently in my fenced in carport while I fix them a...
Just wanted to have a couple laughs and smiles today...so far that's the only thing my birds are giving me...not so free joy and entertainment. No eggs here yet.
Was wondering...what are your favorite bird behaviors? And your least favorite...?
My favorites are when I catch any of my crew...
Just a chat post, post pics of your chickens that make them look either funny or evil/scary
Best of all, have fun. Heres my first one. My chick, baby looks possessed with glowing eyes.
"Honey the dog let the ducks in the house".
My chocolate lab can open our back door. (clearly he was misinformed on the meaning of "duck dog")
"Those are my poop shoes"
I started building my coop last year while my friends were gutting a house they'd bought. They let me take whatever I wanted from their demolition pile, and I hauled a LOT of stuff away -- lots of odd-sized studs and scraps of plywood. They probably saved me a couple hundred bucks on my coop...
Looked all day for her in every nook and cranny. Went to church came back and my daughter and I kept looking. She was there roosting with everyone last night. Looked under every chair and in anything that could fit a hen.
Then my daughter finally pointed to an old 1/2 gallon fish tank on the...

My husband and son went to the feed store on Sunday for some supplies and I told them if they have any Ameraucana babies left, grab 3 (plus 3 Lavender Orpingtons). They had me text them so they wouldn't forget.
Fast forward couple hours and they come home with my chicks and my son asks why I...
