I saw this for sale on a site in the UK last year and thought it looked interesting. I just saw it was available in the states now. Most people make their own, but some people buy theirs, so I thought I'd post this link. Roll away nest boxes come up as a topic from time to time, too. They...
I will say right up front that this is a rant. I've been trying to get the chicken forage mix from Peaceful Valley since early February. They've had trouble with their computer. First it wouldn't complete the order in the shopping cart. Then when I did get an order through, they said it...
Our dog is dying from cancer. We are waiting on a confirming lab diagnosis, but it looks like lymphoma/lymphosarcoma. They already did a needle biopsy and looked at a slide. Our vet wants a lab to make the pronouncement on the exact type of cancer it is. It's a big ole tumor in the lymph...
Actually, it started yesterday. My husband went out into the yard and Bebe was beating the crap out of a couple of the other hens. Another of the hens was hiding from her. She's in the old chicken tractor now, having a time out as an attitude adjustment.
Usually, she only picks on one of the...
I like the idea of getting some bantams at some point, but I really don't like the look of the breeds that have been bred to have an extreme wing angle, like OEGs and Seramas. I'd like to get some that have a slightly more natural posture, like standard size chickens have. Does anyone have any...
You know, I really do think this is a cute coop! It makes me wish I could paint, so I could do this to my coop. Although, I don't think it would look quite the same on a big old shed. It's in the UK, by the way.

I have to admit, I've never seen anything like these before.

They've also got these.

I've been growing wheat grass in pots for my cats over this long winter. I let one pot get overgrown, gave it a trim and put a big pile of snipped grass in a bowl for the girls, along with some hulled sunflower seeds. I know, they're spoiled! We're in the middle of another snowy day and the...
It makes me feel so sad! She was such a sweet little dog. It's been awhile since he did that. Now he's imitating her barking! I think I'll go give him something tasty to nibble on and a new toy, so he quiets down.
Anyone else ever get sad when their parrot calls for or imitates their pets...
I'm posting this for the people that might have an interest in Omlet's eglu cube, which is larger than the original eglu. Omlet USA is finally carrying them. The last couple of years, they've only been available in the UK.
I understand that they are not everyone's coop of choice, but they are...
A new member posted with an eye problem, on another thread. In case they don't figure out how to start a new topic, here it is. Page 6, post 46.

WoW is an online game. I popped in this morning and found out today is Pirate Day!
I noticed 2 guys standing outside the bank, dressed as pirates. When I clicked on them, to talk to them, they said something about going to Booty Bay, which I'll do later. Also, you have the option to say that...
Check this out! A chicken hat for a cat!

I showed this to my husband and he shouted, "Where's my credit card???"
The girls have been molting a few feathers here and there, the last couple of weeks. Then yesterday, poof! Bebe had a big blow out! She really looks funny, as her breast under-fluff is lighter than her dark breast feathers. It's like she went from a solid to a print.
