I have some 8 week old barred rocks that I'm hoping to caponize in the next few days. I do have some questions for the folks that have had success with this. 1) Will 12 hours without food be long enough? Can they have water during this time? 2) How active are the birds after the...

I'd like to get on the list for the next order of the caponizing tools. :) ..subscribing to this thread too.

Now I'm going to brag a bit... :D Got this buck on the 12th of Nov..

Congrats on the blacktail Hank! You need to start hunting wolves. Too bad they don't taste good.

Nice buck! I hunt public land here but it's 'controlled' so the number of hunters allowed is limited and we are all pretty much on the same page. Usually only 10 or less antlered bucks are taken off the property and most are 2.5 or 3.5. There are some bigger bucks around but they are almost...

I love that last picture of the bear. (but it's not my trailcam. ;) ) I know hogs are bad... but I'm jealous of you guys and gals that can hunt them in your area. Bowhunting has been kind of slow here. The place I hunt was hit by EHD and the drought caused the oaks to abort most all the...

I used a 10 watt CLF bulb for 75 laying hens in a 12' x 30' coop. ...Until it fried (those stupid bulbs do not live up to the hype). Now I use a 40 watt white incandescent bulb.

If you told me to vote for Obama... I'd tell you you're out of your mind too.

I'm not from CA but I did a quick search and sure looks like you need to 'register' (get a license) to sell eggs there. "Anyone engaged in the production, sales, or handling of shell eggs or egg products in California must register with CDFA." http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/mpes/esqm.html

Glad to see this thread still going. Congrats on all the successful hunts!! I ended my archery season with five deer. So I achieved my goal of filling the freezers. :) I did take one buck, his antlers were all busted up but I wasn't being that picky. I also got a bit of video from a...

I've posted this pic before but it fits here so I'll post it again. This is Roz. I've had her for four years now but she was an old hen when I got her. She had two owners before she came here. I'd guess her to be at least seven. She had 'stew hen' written all over her when I got her...

KY small producer rules. Your state is pretty easy but there's still more to it than just a 'best by' date. http://www.kyagr.com/consumer/ri/documents/smallproducersguide.pdf "Eggs are listed on the hazardous food list by the United States Food and Drug Administration."
