Hi All, my friend and I have been spinning my alpaca fleece to yarn and have some skeins ready for sale. These are handspun skeins, so some are more consistent than others and their prices reflect that.... the black seemed to turn out better than the white... These skeins run in size from...

Hi there, wanted to let you guys know about a deal. My friend who has a large alpaca farm is being forced to sell due to personal issues. I am her webmaster, and good neighbor, so I am helping her with this. She has a garage and basement full of fleece in nearly every natural alpaca color...

Hey guys, I am a member of a co-op where we send in our alpaca fiber and receive products back that we can sell. All alpaca products are 100% made in the U.S.A. from AMERICAN alpaca fiber. I have yarn, roving, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, and a really cool tote bag all for sale. If you are...

earlier this year my hens were coughing & i had one that died, and so we assumed CRD and treated for it. since then everyone has been fine but this one hen has consistently been more lethargic then the others but mostly OK. well the last days she's been acting funny. her comb had been...

ok, i live in west central ohio and the remnants of ike are here now. all i have to say is HOLY MOLY!! we have winds steady at 50mph with gusts over 60mph and it's really scary. no power (but my generator runs my pc and internet...yes i'm a geek!), siding riping off our barn, off our...

hi all, i'm trying to find someone who has WildBlue internet and likes it. i have hughes net and without going into a rant, lets just say that the last 9 months have been nightmarish! i work at home and need reliable internet and suffice it to say, hughes is not it! we are in a very rural...

i have been reading up on peoples progress with cornish Xs and it seems like so many people are having ones with spraddle leg and/or the chickens are dying before they can reach time for processing. is it really that hard to keep those cornish Xs alive? if so, am i better off to just get a...

edited... nevermind, i was just venting frustration, i don't wish to leave this post up.

ok, i got 2 new ameraucanas from a breeder yesterday. they are segregated from the rest of the flock. we picked them up today to pet them, on their heads behind their ears, these wormy looking things were crawling around. it is so disgusting, my skin is crawling. WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE...

i picked up 2 ameraucana hens from a backyard breeder a few towns over. when i got them home, they had pooed several times in the cage and all looked good. i got them up at the house (to isolate them from my other chickens for a few days) and found 1 bloody poo. these girls are about 7 mos...

or relocate her broodiness?? i have NH Reds (and BR) and one of my NH Reds has decided to go broody. she is the one i have with white legs, so i don't know if there is some other breed in her background or what. at any rate, every night for the last 5, she has been in this one spot in our...

One of my female alpacas was due May 13. I have been watching her diligently since about May 1 expecting the baby but nothing. Yesterday I left my office (which looks out on the pasture) around 5:30pm, giving up on her for the day. About an hour later my neighbor comes up to the house going...

i had a blind chicken named Blue (b/c of when we first discovered she was blind, the others pecked her so much i had to cover her in blue-kote to heal up her wounds.) anyway, she always did pretty good, she'd stay in the coop most of the time but did wander around the barn some, she just could...

I lost another chicken. I raised these from babies that I got last May, I had zero losses and then in the last 4 weeks I've lost two girls, one to CRD and this one drowned yesterday. The girls always hop up on the big water trough that my alpacas drink out of, what would have made her fall in...

hi all, i was hoping to track down some EE pullets or youngish hens in the columbus area. i found a breeder who's about an hour and a half away from my home, but i was hoping to find one closer. i am looking for 2-4 hens, i'm not interested in chicks or hatching eggs, just don't have the time...

i think i have read before about this, so i apologize if this is a duplication, my internet is not stable and i need to figure out what's up with this. i went to the coop tonight to gather eggs and under the feeder, a dead chicken. everyone was fine last night except for one or two who were...

yesterday we did not let my chickens out because we got nearly 2 ft of snow. so today, when my DH was down at the barn he noticed Elvis the roo was bloody. he went into the coop and there is blood sprayed on the windows and walls and feeder. it looks like the girls were pecking his comb...

this is a silly question but i bought a box of Quaker instant oatmeal cinnamon & spice flavor and the packets don't dissolve right. i've had this happen before, its like the oatmeal is stale or something. so for me, the texture is gross and i don't want to eat it. my question is, is it okay...

so when my chickens started laying eggs back in September, i printed up signs and hung them up at work, but had received no calls. for months. i was able to hook up with a friend of a friend who bought 20 doz for the farmer's market (they have a stall there) but after fall, that was over with...

don't know what it was but at 3:30am, i was dreaming about coons being into my coop and i woke up, sat bolt upright in bed and was freaking out. i was convinced coons were in my coop. not sure if they were screaming outside again or not. (we've had odd screaming at night off and on for a few...
