I have a small Cream Legbar group that has integrated to a small group of red hens & a grey hen. Not really paying attention to the colors of last weekends hatch I now wonder if the lighter red peeps are sex links. I know which ones are the purebred Cream Legbar peeps. Thinking the pale reds...

Are you currently offering black silkie hatching eggs? Possibly a dozen or so eggs?

It's been a long time since I set eggs. Any local store with peeps is selling out each shipment the first day. A friend expressed wanting a few Cream Legbars. Having discovered a small pile I gathered up the mix of Cream Legbar and Reds ( I only have a Cream Legbar rooster) I set them in...

Wow! My candy Easter egg Whoppers get a little fart egg in the box :)

I tend to agree that you should plan them and see. If you really need to talk to someone try your local extension office and ask for the Master Gardener person or their phone number.

It will be lamb wrangling today :) tagging and finding a good one for a young friends 4H project. Thinking this nice ewe lamb will be a keeper to the flock. These are hair sheep. They don't have usable wool. They shed thier coat each spring.

If outside on pasture sheep are the better grazer. Goats are more of a brusher. Inside the barn the trick is the style of feeder. They pull the feed out. Most of what falls to the ground will be soiled and they won't eat it. We have feeders that are a V shape frame on top with the sides of...

A Lamb and her dog

I like roosters. I like having roosters in the flock. After the great chicken loss of 2017 I don't currently have any large roosters. When my flock was at its largest, 35 + birds I had two roosters and they did a nice job of supervising their collective group. Everybody free ranged together...

The small dog breed of my heart is Schipperkes. When they passed I knew I needed a larger breed on the farm but was undecided. A friend breeds Rough Collies and Gunner joined the family a number of years ago. I have sheep and needed a partner with an "off" switch. Gunner is a beautiful Blue...

Over the past number of years I’ve had about 45 chickens running around. No predictor issues for years. I was hit with a trifecta over a year ago with 2 female raccoons that moved into the barn and had kits, new home builder cleared brush and displaced his coyote pack and a Bald Eagle hit me and...

I am looking for pickled eggs recipes. Do you prefer them sweet or sour? I see some online that are made with beet juice too.. I have standard size eggs to pickle but was wondering if anyone has tried to pickled the smaller bantam or Serama eggs?

I have the kindle app on my phone and really like it for those times when your stuck waiting longer than expected. The regular Kindle I use daily for reading but I have dithered for some time about an Ipad, I just wanted something that was larger, fit in my bag and use when I am at the coffee...

Our two boys are grown and learning to live on their own. Last year I found on sale at Barnes & Noble binder recipe books with blank pages. Contacted relatives for favorite recipes which they emailed back. Got busy on the computer and made recipe pages in Word of favorites I have made over...

Have had the Kindle Fire since Wednesday but not a lot of free time to do much until now. I'm on the wifi at home. Page load time is acceptible. Living out in the country I don't really have options for lightening fast speeds from the phone company & cable is not an option. Book reading has...

Just looked on AllRecipies Honey Peanut butter cookies as it sounds like, you use white sugar and honey. Sounds good.

I usually follow the directions and fill one side with water until lock down and then at day 18 fill both. The hatches have all been in my book successful while not 100% egg hatch but I don't expect that. I do play with the slide opening some but for the most part just let it rock away until...
