    3 Weeks

    I can NOT believe that I have been a chicken mom for 3 weeks now! It has been a crazy journey so far. They are getting their feathers and their personalitys are really showing. Unfourtunately, the pecking order battle is in full swing, and there's nothing I can do about it... I'm pretty sure...

    Rex The Border Collie

    Rex Rex is a high strung, nuetered, full of energy people loving border collie mix. We got him in march of 2004, so he is now 6 years old. He has never been agressive towards people or any animals (except for possums, coons, coyotes, and, unfourtunately, skunks) At night he sits on our porch and...

Yesterday, June 17th, was the Fuzzy-Butt Thundering herd of Wisco's 365th consecutive day of thundering. And I have enjoyed every single day of it. Here they are...

    R.I.P Little girl <3 :(

    Thank you all so much. I buried her today, alone. I count my chickens everytime i see them and I only count 6 and I wonder, "wheres little girl now?" and then "Oh. Right." Very tough stuff. I think they notice shes gone too.

    R.I.P Little girl <3 :(

    So tonight I got home late. I went to my chickens run and there lay Little Girl, my darling EE. Dead. Her head stuck out at an odd angle, i can tell her neck was broken.

    Is it a favorties thing?

    My favorite EE loves to be held and petted and hugged and walked around with, but she is the lowest on the pecking order and is harrased hard by the other hens, especially her EE sister. I hear similar stories from other members all the time. Is it because I give her special attention that they...
