    My new ducks!

    The other week my cousin contacted us saying that his buddy was getting rid of his ducks and wondered if we would take them. We've had so many ducks over the years, and love them, so we said yes! Though they never said what breed the ducks were or anything. So I was curious as to what they were...

    My sincerest apologies!

    For the longest time I thought y'all were crazy about this chicken math thing. How do you go to the store for one thing and magically double your flock? That wasn't going to be me! My starting flock was just going to be two chickens. I ordered the coop and hardware cloth. Tuesday, the items...

    My First Chicken Gets Her First Friend! How do I ensure it goes smoothly?

    It's finally happening. Our Peggy is finally well enough to get another hen to keep her company. We first bought our little 7-month old Australorp a little over a month ago. As it turns out, she was in pretty bad shape; she was stressed, lice-ridden and suffering coryza*, and that was just the...

    New Poults

    Recently, about 2 month ago ago, I received several baby chickens. It had been a blast raiseing them. Unfortunately I've lost half of them to predators. A problem that has been fixed. Today I came home to a surprise from my mother, who felt bad about my loss. Our local farm and feed had some...
