Our Pet Chickens
We got started with our pet chickens this Spring. My son and I went to the local farm supply store. Guess what they had right inside the door of the store? My 7 year old said he would like to have one of the baby chicks, so when my husband called me, I told him what the...
We are looking for some Guineas and a couple of young pigmy goats. We just moved out to Myakka on 5 acres and are ready to expand. Does anyone have some good ones for sale or know who would?
Thanks!
We have a 4 month old Ameraucana, Americana, or Easter Egger Rooster that we purchased from our local farm store as a pullet. We were hoping for a hen and can't have roosters with such close neighbors.
He is white and black, was raised in a small backyard flock and will eat bread from our...
We have a 4 month old SLW Rooster that we purchased from a local breeder. We were hoping for a hen and can't have roosters with such close neighbors.
His parents were beautiful, with good size and coloring. We need to find him a good home as soon as possible.
Please give me your e-mail...
I have a book that has some good information on that. I'll look at it tonight to see if I can find some good references for you. I'll PM you if I do and then I can scan it in and send it to you.
How do I get hooked up with CLUCK? I e-mailed the address in the newspaper, but noone ever...
They don't look at all like the Cornish I got from TSC. Ours had the WIDE hips/legs and just white coloring. The combs and faces looked different too.
Good luck!
I saw a short story on our ABC channel this morning. I bet that was you. I was so excited they had a story about backyard chickens and showed the My Pet Chicken website that I was screaming for my husband to come watch it. It was great! I'll have to watch the Nightline story.
Thanks for...
Hi,
I didn't get a chance to talk with our payroll person today. She and I were both meeting deadlines and didn't finish until 5:30.
I would recommend you find someone that knows and understands payroll and work something out with them. Calculating and writing the checks is easy enough...
I'm an accountant and I don't like Quickbooks. There are too many ways for someone to mess things up, in my opinion. I'll ask our Payroll Person at work if she has seen anything that would work good for you and write later today.
Hi,
Guess the title says it all. I've been wanting to do "Our Page", but hadn't even downloaded pictures off my camara in about a month. I've been too busy enjoying my chickens.

Congratulations on your chicks! I got 8 from MPC last week and they are all doing great so far. They are so cute and growing so fast.
Take lots of pictures!
Our lab was a great runner for years. She loved to go for a 6 mile run and then stop off at a river, pond or creed for a quick dip. Now that she is aging, 1 mile is about her top distance, but she still loves it.
At first, she didn't know what I expected of her. (We rescued her at about...
I got chicks from them last week. I know from talking to them that Monday's are shipping days, so they are very busy on Mondays. It might be difficult to reach them today because of that.
Good luck!
Thought you all might be interested...

We bought our 1st chickens when we thought it would be o.k. where we live. Someone has a horse and a year ago I heard a rooster a block or so away. However, I've since found out you have to be zoned Agricultural to have chickens any where in our county. We are...
