Yeah that would be nice! We still need to wait for out loan commitment but we can see the houses and put a deposit if we find the perfect one. It's going to be great!

Tips Please! My new white silkie always has a dirty butt and cleaning (then blow-drying) is a real pain! What to do? What to do? Can I trim the hair down there? How about a chicken Brazillian? Tips and tricks for dealing with dirty Silkie butt, please!

Trim, wipe & vaseline or neosporin to help keep the vent clear. I had pasty butts, too.

Something secluded, I want some goats, chickens, sheep, and a horse. Possibly other things but for now that is my plan.

uggh collecting these hatching eggs is harder than I thought! Nori likes to lay at the most inconvenient times and then hides the eggs, so sometimes like this morning I don't know if it was layed yesterday or early this morning

Temps last night weren't too cold, but it was still low 30's. The egg was cold when I found it but it wasn't as cold as the others I have collected so I am hoping it was just an early egg.

Mr. Wu officially can't see I slicked him back with a little hair gel this morning, he's getting around alot better today

His two babies from the refrigerated pullet eggs are getting big too. They were very unhappy that I disturbed their nap AND pulled them out of their nice warm brooder for a pic
