These roos are all from my Light Brahma roo, Angus. He is a very calm, gentle roo and he takes great care of his hens. His sons are displaying same qualities. These roos can be purchased here at the farm. 5.00 for full Brahma roos and 2.00 for Brahma mix roos. All have nice feathering on legs.

They are all the same age, just a major size difference. I have them in pens that are right next to each other so they can socialize through the fence. Infact, one of the rouen ducklings is constantly sitting at the fence "talking" to the three bantam ducklings...and they like "talking" to the...

Ok, so it's a cochin hen that brooded and hatched 3 australian spotted bantam ducks. They are a week old as of this past weekend. Today when I came home to check on them, I see the hen grab one by the bottom, pick it completely up off the ground, the drop it. It was done pretty rough, and that...

My cochin hen just hatched 3 austrailian spotted bantams yesterday and I discovered today that there may be a lice problem...I saw them, UGH. So how old do the babies need to be to treat them and can you treat ducks with the same dust as chickens? I can't believe I found lice, I really work had...

My bantam eggs were a total loss for my broody hen and she has 3 bantam duck eggs left and they are on day 23. I broke down and candled them tonight and all is dark except air cell at the large end of egg. OMG, I feel like an expectant mom!!! I am SO hoping at least one of these hatch because I...

I honestly have searched the site to find an answer but I'm almost in a panic.... I set bantam cochin and bantam duck eggs under a broody. Well, now it sounds like (after searching the internet) it takes bantam duck eggs longer? Day 21 is going to me this coming Saturday, March 14th. Soooo #1...

I'm about SICK of these things crawling all over the INSIDE of my house. THe warm weather we have had for the past two days has brought them out in the gazillions....AGAIN. They were bad enough back in October but good grief, this is getting old!! Anyone else have this problem? Any way to...

I have a friend with two frizzle roos she would like to find homes for. They are just roughing up their hens(they only have a few hens) too much. They don't try to attack the owners, just rough on the hens. Anyone interested can PM and I will get you the details..thanks

This is my soon to be hen house....had to stop work on it today due to rain. We are restoring one of the old sheds that was already on our property using reclaimed/recycled barn siding from another project. Very happy with the results so far. Got a broody sitting on eggs now and hope to have...

I had to use pine tar on my EE hen because she was getting picked on pretty bad by one of my bantam cochins. Well, today I noticed that the bald areas have a yellowish waxy like substance on them and it's kinda gross...no smell or anything. But I'm afraid she might now be developing some kind of...

I was a second grade sub today and I learned that I do NOT know how to write in proper cursive(I do now!) NOR can I sound out words phonetically. I have so much fun subbing at my sons school...the teachers there love their jobs and their children, too. Just a happy place to be. But let me add...

...to keep their cute little bell bottoms(feathered feet) from getting so dirty? I know I don't want to put wood shavings because they stink when wet. I was thinking about a layer of sand(for drainage) then covering that with a thick layer of mulch? I need to get it done today because they are...

but I don't think something like that would cost a lot to ship if I found some in another state, lol. THe lady I used to buy from no longer has it available... I'm looking for skeins that I can knit scarves with.

I have been waiting, it seems, FOREVER for my new EE pullet to lay...got my surprise this morning! I am so happy, I just had to share with others that would understand my excitement!!

We raised goats when I was growing up and fenced in about 5 acres of wooded property for them to clear out the underbrush. Well, now I want to do the same on my own property but really don't want to use barbed wire strands. What are some good/easy fencing ideas for goats that I could use in...

I just got her new book for Christmas. I love her Kay Scarpetta books. Scarpetta is my hero...she is one tough mamma jamma

Ok, here goes mine...a liverwurst wrapper that someone crammed into my catfood bin(formerly used as a tater bin, you know those wooden boxes with the hinge lid) along with their chewed gum...all of which was smeared all over my cat food bag and supplies...EEEWWWW! Nasty!

I forgot that I put them in my scrub shirt pocket...then added my phone to the mix...THEN leaned up against the counter when I came inside. Took me a minute to realize what the crunching sound was...then the wet feeling on my side...... The phone survived getting "egged" but I had a mess in my...

Please help me figure this out...OK, so I got rid of my roos, for a couple reasons...didn't have enough hens, one got too aggressive, then we were in the middle of a move and I really wanted my last one to have a good home with plenty of ladies. That left me with two hens that were buddies, Mrs...

I just wanted to share that my bro is coming home tomorrow after an 18 month tour. He is a Captain in the Army and I'm very proud of him. I always get nervous when they are in the last leg of their trip home. My husband is Air Force so this isn't anything new for me. Just different when it's my...
