Hey! How's it going? Kids are knocking it out of me, but still going, just slowly.... We got rain, and while I'm sure the garden loves it, so do the weeds! They are taller than I am... Ramerez- I still have the little man that I got from you. Chris (DS1 has adopted one of his offsping...

CricketR4- Hollow is rigtht, be careful around others with anything that can be inhaled, and so on. We only use when we have brought in new, and found, or just found in a check. We never use in the wind, so that it may blow. I usually hold the bird while my hubby sprays, and then I rub it down...

We always use Permethrin at 10% when we see or suspect bugs on hens. We just have to be careful because we have bees. Although it will not harm us (not a bug) it will harm most exoskeletons (bugs)! It is derived from plant sources, and acts very quickly.

Way to go Hollow! There are I think some teachers that stand out from the rest, and I'm not surprised that you are one of them.

I won't be doing any real selling or hatching this season. If I do, it will only be a small amout for close friends, or my fard. I sold most of the birds off in the fall-winter season. Now I have a lot less mouths to feed. I am getting enough eggs to eat, and even to take a few of the pure Am...

So, wich one of the neighbors are missing a roo-roo? If mine free-range out far enough, there is a point where they can here the clucks and crows from the neighbors runs better than from mine. I have to over about once, or twice a year when somone disapears to see if the old timer picked it up...

Just wanted to say Hi, I have not been on in a while. Life has just been keeping me busy. Hope all of the new chicken people are finding the help and guidance they need from the fine people here. Have a wonderful day all, and lots of sunshine... Hens are loving the sunshine, free-ranging, and...

Get you a bottle of Blue Cote, and Put it right on the spot. I had a Pea-hen bounce up and split her skull open real good on the way home. I called Beth on my way to TSC before they closed. I wanted to be sure that I got the right thing. She advised the one that came with the swab, but they...

Use heavy gaged wire, not chicken wire, and add lighting around the area. Human presence has helped. Wire at the bottom of runs going under also. We have even added chainlink like dog kennels with a top. I hope you are able to figure it out.

Ramirez- The thing with the 2 years comes from battery cages. Most know how I feel about that. Birds striped of all nutrients, so humans can buy more for less. ... And people really wonder what is wrong with our economy. I hear people talk about purchasing responsibly, I had better stop...

We got 2 guineas this year, and I have not set them loose yet. They are close to 2 months old now. They are very different from the Chickens, and I hope they don't wonder to far when I do turn them out.

Meg, was that Fred, or fried? Just to clarify??? Yes, Chris named him, Captain, so he is a breeder, but what is he breeding? I could have been clearer.... Sorry.

This is another pic of the alpha male. DS-1 named him,...so..... Anyway Beth told me what she thinks it is. What does everyone else think Captain is?

Mystery Bantams??? Name that Bantam!

Matt, I am so sorry that you had to do that. It is so hard for animal lovers to do this when they must. I cried like a baby this spring when I was faced with a pred that was not going to stop coming back. I hated what I had to do. We have live traps out, and lights, and so on, but.... On a...

Always have sight of target! DS-1 has not gone hunting yet, but knows the danger, and tells me about it, as he has read. He has not had a good opportunity to use these things that he has learned, but so glad he has still. OK, I am not afraid of shooting something eating my fowl, but I am not...

Well I think we are in for a dry day. I really hope we are! Fowl have been crying fowl for some time now over this weather. I have noticed less mud patches, and puddles, but we did get a little more rain in this neck of the woods last night. I've noticed a lot of new names since I was on last...
