Well, long time no see everyone. Been real busy out on "the farm" but anyway, yesterday we officially became a "poultry farm" because now we have 2 duck chicks. Against my fathers will, I brought home these adorable fluffers and now i'm clueless. They're down in the brooder with the other chicks...
I'm not sure if these brands are limited to the eastern shore or if they're nationwide but, we just had a tractor supply open in our area(I love it, i've been there 3 times in the past week) and they sell dumor and layena. Normally we would buy layena from the local mill but since dumor was...
Yup, you read it right!
I was invited by the FFA at my school to assist with 3 other of my FFA buds to judge a poultry show.
We're only judging White Leghorns and we're judging them on thier Vents, Color (it has an official name, i just can't think of it!) Also, we're judging Eggs and Carcasses...
I read somewhere a year or so back that if you feed scratch grain can over heat your chickens and kill them because they get so hot?
Is this true or just a myth?
So i'm sleeping all nice and comfy in my cool and cozy bed when around 4:00 am I hear the chickens go crazy, I'm thinking 'oh wonderful! What now?!' So i "run" (can a person run at 4AM when their practically asleep?) Keep in mind with the weather we've had lately in northern maryland, the tarp...
So, with the huge flock we have (70 ish birds) my dad and I decided it would be best to start feeding the chickens every other day and let them forage the days they don't get food. This is because the price of food and we can't be buying 50 lbs of food every 3 days. So this seems like A good...
I hate to say it, but i looove to watch...
VH1 love reality shows, such as
Real chance of love
I love new york
Rock of love
Flavor of love
(none of the tila tequila ones though!)
I know, there terrible
and trashy!
But, it's soo hard to look away!
Anyone else have the same opinion?
I, with the help of 3 other friends of mine, are throwing a bridal shower for my friend and I need ideas, such as games, party favors, prizes! I searched google and found it a tad annoying going through like a billion pages!
So to make a long story short, theres a farm business(family friends) down the road that is helping to sell our chicks by going to different places such as fairs and selling chicks to people and they're doing it because, people would buy from a farm more likely then a kid. So i was talking to...
so I've been listening to the song day and night for the past few days and I know it's been out ofr a reallll long time and i remember first hearing it thinking he was suicidal but...
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?
I know this is random...
but it just popped up in my head
and i doubt it's needed...
but does byc have a censor for certain words, like in stead of saying i fell in "S" it would say i fell in poo...
or something like that?
Just a random thought
Well, as many of you know I go to high school,the best place to find dramatic girls.
So i was talking to one of my friends today (lets call her Eunice) and she just got out of a great relationship with her boyfriend (lets call him bob). Eunice gave one of her other friends
(lets name her...
My dad and I were looking at our newly hatched chick last night and we looked at the chicks wings and they are TINY, he said diesel[my brother, who HATES chickens named it diesel][my brother works on cars as a personal business] may never fly because of how small, we are talking 4 inch chick; 1...
We have 3 incubators in my house, 2 of them [we made by ourselves] is great in keeping humidity but the 3rd; an LG still air, no fan [we order one though, it should be here soon] and no auto turner. once we got it to the perfect humidity but then i left the lid open a tiny bit for 8 hours and...
When a chick hatches out of an egg, when dried and put in the brooder box you give them medicated chick feed or regular?
Then do we give them vaccinations for anything?
this will be the first time we hatch eggs out of an incubator im "oh-so" curious
