Home processing of a pig is not the way to go..at least for us. We had pigs for several years, raised and sold babies for a while and then we decided time to stop all this after loosing a chunk of the garden designed to sell at market to the piggies. It took about 6 hours for three guys to...

I wondered how Georgia is doing with the fires that are sprouting about. We have had a fire near our area coming from a surrounding county that apparently originated in North GA. Last night, the smell was so intense in the House that I walked about the farm at 3:00 am. Our poultry are all...

Welcome back!

Oh gracious I thought I was literate about the weather but I will have to check it out! Apparently as I understand it we are fully under total no burn ban. It's rough rough rough. I am so glad people are helping with drilling wells, it is so incredible. We've seen lots of weather farming...

I still use a few styrofoams but find that because our household is basically unheated or unairconditioned around the clock, the temps can really swing. and I have had temps really stable and zoom in a hurry although I would usually change a wafer every two hatches. Cabinet is our mainstay I...

Curious if anyone else is seeing an upswing in the count of predators. but we were nearly zeroed out of our saxony ducks by a wild panther - no joke. He was caught on cameras several times by a neighbor. Best we can figure there was a mother training cubs and a father, because some were...

Been missing seeing baby chicks but sweet hubby started hatching for some RS large fowl for me. Well the rooster must be a boy producer because so far it's a 2 to 1 boy to girl ratio..... But just two days ago, I got a pic of a "sneak" in egg he put in the incubator..... for me and I think it...

Well, let's see .... I continue with my round three of the worst pneumonia I have ever had. It is pseudomonas aerugosino.... It grows in public/private water supplies, found in air and soil and is the white "what I used to think was calcium deposits" on your shower head. I got it back in...

wow, great ratio. we have had 3 birthings 4 boys and two girls....... first we got bro sister, second bro sister and now boyb boyb boyb....need some homes for some boys!!!!! the moms along with their two children were already placed!

I have an old trick I used to use, but be careful with it, get small acquarium tubing and access a ventilation hole AWAY from the fan and use a small funnel to add warm water in (I usually set this up on the day of lock down in case it was necessary. The easier trick is to run a warm air...

Hi you Roboduck@ I like that certified enabler.... Yes you are a great buyer of eggs. You need more goats??? He he he, I know where there are some going to be for sale. seriously...I used to have a donkey, we were his apparently third home and found out that he was actually a Colorado, wild...

Oh good, that was not my ad after you said psychotic I had to check. Now to get my psychotic self back LOL to work on my bad incubator. Too nice to be inside playing with wires.... See y'all...........

Sometimes the baby chirps because they are lonely, bored, cold, hurting, hot, or deciding that it's not time for lights out. You might try finding a utube video with a clucking momma sound and your baby might quiet down. And do keep an eye out for pasty butt etc. and if you see any star...

I often grow organic hard wheat sprouts, in water and sharing with birds and also for the family. They love it. Barley if you have someone who can share with you can be ordered on line as well as feed stores, don't know the prices for feed stores either on this so I don't know what a good...

LTygris, The best thing I can do is post you some more pictures. The pic in the ad is very old. After more culling and more breeding, I have majority blue tones and some very pretty ones. I have some I made last week, I will upload either this afternoon or possibly tomorrow. Bee boxes to...

Well, this will be my first year without turkeys. We went from having 8 kinds of turkeys to 4 kinds to 1 kind and now no kinds. I will miss the gobble gobble sound and when they are first born! Our turkeys usually didn't start laying until March/April maybe a few in late Feb. I think our...

Okay here's the weather link. Now hubby is thinking it might not happen and so maybe we will dodge it. I would be glad! http://www.wsbradio.com/weblogs/kirk-mellishs-weather-commentary/2014/feb/18/winter-not-done/ It is soo hard to feed and water in the snow and ice!!!! plus we have...
