    Backyard La

    I've wanted some chickens to keep me company ever since my SO took me to Key West Florida and I witnessed chickens living happily in outdoor garden cafes and alley ways. We even ate at a restaurant where the resident chickens scratched at the dirt at our feet and strutted and cackled merrily...

    Anybody down for a Louisiana meet?

    Hey Phoebe! I meant to respond sooner! Yes, I want to be there and so do a couple of my chicken friends that just got started (I gave a couple of chickens to this Easter). I had mentioned the meetup to them and they just called and wanted to know more details so I signed on to read up. I do...

    Trapped a coon...... RESOLVED page 2

    Quote: Thank you for the info...!!! The numbers must be old though.. I tried both..... US F&G was disconnected and LPAC was a private number and the man says it happens all the time. I called the town hall and they gave me the number... they didn't know that animal control would pick racoons...

    Trapped a coon...... RESOLVED page 2

    Thankfully my rooster lets me know when a predator is lurking and this coon has been coming around since New Years Eve, and found it IN my chicken pen (climbing in through a weak spot in covered dog kennel) for the 3rd time today. The first two times I chased it out... this time it was in the...

    2 week chick have started diarreha droppings

    Quote: Oh.. and your question Gritsar.. um... it's been normal... then runny, then normal... repeat.. but they seem to be on the same schedule. And i'd never heard of cecal poo for chickens before... I knew rabbits have it (though I rarely witness it). Thanks so much! I just wanted to make...

    patio advice needed... concrete or crushed concrete?

    I have an existing small patio or concrete pad 12x12 outside my back door but want to make it bigger... add an additional 35 ft x 12ft to it. (because I have a 2nd hand patio cover to put up) I've considered crushed concrete (with weed barrier under)... OR ... more challenging but even...

    2 week chick have started diarreha droppings

    What usually causes wet droppings in chicks? Aside from keeping food/water bins clean is there anything else to fix it? I feed my rabbit a tablespoon of raw quick oats and that does the trick. What works for chicks? Update: It has cleared up tonight. I switched from papertowels to wood...

    MIC- single serving B & W Brownie w/ cream cheese (low carb & SF)

    Mikki asked me (via PM) if the recipe is missing Flour.... nope! It's similar to "Flourless Chocolate Cake"... definitely worth a try as it's very moist and it's so easy and I usually have the ingredients on hand. I like that is a single serving. Let me know if you liked it!.. or even if...

    UPDATE.. Day 23 hatch! See page 4 for FUZZY pics!!

    Quote: If your eggs are darker... give your eyes time to adjust to the dark... then I could SEE much better. At later stages I found the most tilted air cell was easiest to see movement inside at the end when all others are hard to see in... just look at the HIGH side of the tilt... also you...

    Thanks ya'll! I saw the early messages before I went to the Walker Friends store for the 25lb bag this afternoon Phoebe... I'm glad you mentioned the store... it's SO much closer and they are nice! I agree about saving money with larger bags... and the sealing containers sound great! Few...

    MIC- single serving B & W Brownie w/ cream cheese (low carb & SF)

    If you didn't like the Brownie in a Mug recipe, you might like this one. It is similar in some ways but in my opinion you can't mess it up.. and it's very moist and creamy in the middle! It uses an EGG (of course!) and is SF and Low Carb... for those who care. I still make it when I'm...

    How much chick starter will get me through for only 2 chicks?

    Has anyone figured it out? I have standard sizes only. Hatched out 2 today... need to buy some feed for them... Last spring with 4 chicks I kept buying it in small bags measured out by feed store... Know I'll need at least the 25 lb bag.... but would a 50 lb be overkill and go rancid...
