Just need to vent. Neighbor's dog came in our yard for the 2nd time and we have one dead chicken and one missing.  I just raised them since chicks and it is very upsetting.  Not even sure what to say to the neighbor.

I'm so sorry. I think Fisherlady gave you the best advice.

Check this out guys/gals if your in this area (trevose pa) it's a deal if your looking to build something..... hint hint

Poo! That's only 20 minutes from me but I am not ready to build yet and I hav nowhere to store it. Someone is going to get a great deal.

I put 13 eggs in lockdown this morning and a couple of them are already rocking like crazy!

Sounds like a good sign!

the last load of tobacco stalks to come out of the shed...
always a relief when that job is done or the year

Nice. What do you do with them?

we are contracted with lancaster leaf, just signed the contract yesterday for what will be planted this spring...
we have a guaranteed buyer, but we get the price of the contract no matter if it goes up or down on the market..

....and it is a lot of work, no machines for this crop

Sorry, we do not currently have NPIP so cannot ship out of State, birds were all tested clean in December.

E-bay has lots of coops at decent prices, just be sure to get free shipping-
Live long and prosper

If you can ship I'm interested. PM me with prices please.

Is there any kind of fun family activities out your way that would give us another reason to drive an hour into Ohio? I did ask Hubbs about turkeys and he said yes, I'm going to be going east next weekend for my niece's birthday. I'd be happy to bring some birds for you, but I don't want to make my kids sit in the car for an hour without some fun activity on the other end of the trip, you know?

Chicadoodle, I am interested in some poults, but we've never had any before... Can we keep them with our chickens? Do they need their own coop?should they be kept inside in a brooder for awhile first? How long? Hubbs is not a fan of inside birds.
