I was wondering where the hell all the reviews were coming from! :lol: Thanks everyone that provided one. I can't wait for the season to kick in!! The couple that bought my dad's house and I are still great friends. It was the oddest house sale I ever did. We all worked together to get the...

You too! How are you? Love your chickens breakfast!!

Thought this was too funny not to share here...

No. I ran down to PA for some pond supplies and the store I was at was selling the same thing for $23.49. I stuffed 2 bags in the back of the care with the other things I bought. It's just Flock Raiser crumbles.

To enter the photo contests that are not going to be printed in a calendar your resolution is just fine. I would enter the pictures! They are great!

When I started out with my flock a little over 4 years ago the price of a 50 lb bag of feed was $17.99. The last three times I went to the feed store to get feed the price had gone up each time. The last time at the local feed store I always go to the price was at $26.49. That is a nearly a 50%...

Fabio and I agree!! Nothing like a good pair of Carhartts.

It's -6F this morning and I'd rather that than deal with a sun that is trying to kill me! NY winter TAX:

Not a problem for me. The chickens area is circled in blue. The red X's mark the locations chickens have been left.

Reproductive cancer is not contagious. Neither is getting fatally mauled by a GSD. Or an incurable vent prolapse. Or a hen and a cockerel that flew into the coop/run wall and broke their necks. Or a hawk strike fatality. Regardless, most diseases of poultry would not be communicable to mammalian...

Probably. A vet once said to me "I've never euthanized a pet too soon but have euthanized many far too late". I watch my flock closely for the first sign of abnormal behavior. The coop cameras help immensely with this as I can see their normal behavior without them seeing me. I was able to treat...

Well, they're the chickens eggs so they can damn well have them back!

Those are just minor peck wounds. Any one of my flock members will have some. Why can't they just give peace a chance?

I didn't want the white fence because I wanted it to blend a little better so I got the green one from Kencove. I bought three 164' rolls and enough extra poles to double the number that come with the fence.

Yes. It encloses roughly 1/3 of an acre of my property. This is the chickens territory.

@Shadrach, I thought you'd appreciate this on two fronts... You know I have a very mixed flock. Some of them. Until recently, I've never had any "color cliques". Three of the originals hang out together but they are all very different in appearance. Now that the Double Silver Laced...

Anywhere that sells pickling and canning supplies. In my case, Agway.

I'm eating eggs that were laid last summer. One homesteader said they'd eaten year old eggs.

The ratio is 1 oz hydrated lime (pickling lime) to a quart of water. You mix up the solution and lower clean, unwashed eggs into it. I would wash and sell or immediately eat soiled eggs and save the cleanest ones for "the soup". The buckets are kept loosely covered to prevent too much...

I guess it is to some. We eat a Paleo diet so I cook everything. I need something fast and easy for work days so I make a frittata every week. They consume 10 eggs right there. I put a boiled egg on our salads and we eat a salad every day.
