Hi folks Haven't been on in forever. Hope everyone is well and had a great Christmas. We are doing great. Weird weather we are having, it was 82 degrees Christmas day. Going to be freezing tomorrow night. Our little Catalana hatched her own chick. Her dad was a sebright so she has a gold...

Help!!! Yesterday there was an invitation to put pictures in the 2016 calendar. I thought it said until the 31st to submit but today it isn't there. Anyway I can track that down or did I misread it and miss the opportunity? Have a really cute chick pic we wanted to submit. I looked all...

Hi all, haven't been able to get on much anymore. Have missed everyone. Have 541 unread posts. Just no time, maybe this winter. We are up to 60 chickens now. Have 3 pens and another on the drawing board. Probably will give up my garden area, move it, and make it another chicken yard.the...

Sorry for your loss. We love cats. Have many. Hurts every time we send one home.

Hi folks...I'm only 113 posts behind.... Glad to say that so far for us, the storm has not been too bad. The rain we got over Memorial weekend was much worse. We had days after days where everything was a swamp. Every egg had to be washed because of dirty feet. Everyone stayed up in the...

Hi folks...it's been awhile since I've been able to be here regularly, but trying to remember who lives in Montgomery Tx. I have an elderly lady friend that lives in Montgomery. I re-homed one of our roos to her and gave her three PR hens to go with him. She has endured terrible tragedy in...

Well we did it! Made the trip to Cameron Tx yesterday. 4 hours and 256 miles to pick up 6 chicks. But it was worth it. If we get chicks from Ideal again we will be picking them up. That gives us 26 chicks plus 6 Cochins that are nearly 2 months old. We still have most of the original flock...

Good thoughts and prayers to you and your husband. Is this the helicopter that went down doing relief in Nepal or another?

Hi folks....good to be back on a real computer!!! I know everyone is tired of the rain. We've gotten nearly 8 inches with this last round. My poor chickens are miserable having to hold up in their house. The cochins have filthy feet...poor babies! They are 6 weeks old and finally learning...

Hi folks, would have to spend hours catching up! Our Cochin's are five weeks old and doing great. 3black, 2grey bluish and a white. Ordered chicks from ideal last month, weren't going to arrive til June 6. Got a call last week and they are coming May 14th!!! We will be scrambling to move the...

Hi all I'm like 20 pages behind...been busy like crazy! Have lots of stories to share but will wait to get on my computer...I type way too slow on my tablet! Bought 6 Cochin chicks for my bday...11 days old and doing great...ordered 25 assorted chicks from ideal but won't get them until...

Funniest thing I have seen in a long time and so wish I could have got it on video!!! My big bad rat hunting black cat Sarah got chased across the yard by a 3 pound bantam Aussie mix...neck stretched out wings just a flapping zig zagging after her, until Sarah ran up a tree and Milly the little...

Thanks for all the info on spur trimming. I'm gonna check out those videos.

Yes, I had read about that and so have been afraid to do it. I have one of those pedipaw things which is useless on my big dogs...might just work for a roo. Got to try something before my ladies suffer more damage...thanks for the input.

Glory be!!! There's this awesome orb in the sky this morning!!! Haven't seen it in over a week. I think my chickens are dancing!!! Things are looking up too. We got 9 eggs three days in a row instead of 5 or 6. Way to go ladies!!!

How do you trim spurs? Abraham, our 2 year old roo has got some serious spurs...at least two inches and getting hard points. I think he is starting to hurt his ladies some. Plus he doesn't like me and has been know to be a stinker! Trimming his spurs would be good. I read someplace about using...

My ratio is a little better...6-7 from 23 hens.

Good to hear from you! Sounds like you have been very busy. Congrats on the success with your dogs. You can be proud of all your hard work with them. Beautiful puppy, I know she is a handful right now.

Hurrah!!! Got up this morning to no rain!!! Now getting ready for the cold. All the dustbath holes are full of water and my two white hens look like mud wrestlers! Everyone was happy to be outside though. Getting about 7-8 eggs a day...that's an egg about every third day from our girls...

Same here...so much we need to do...chicken house needs cleaning, we are getting low on firewood but it's to soggy to drive the 4 wheeler and I have two deer hides in a tanning bath that I so want to finish working. Plus...we miss the sun! Rain is good but starting to get cabin fever...just...
