I have an old dairy farm. We built separate larger pens where the cow stansions used to be. During hatching season we only let one pen free range at a time then when not hatching let them all loose together.
I've been busy getting the paperwork around for my new vehicle (2010 mazda cx-9) and trips to the vet. Yesterday my beagle had her tumor removed. I'm waiting to hear back on wether it's cancerous or not.My other dog was diagnosed with food allergies too.
I stopped at TSC yesterday after DMV and...
Runt325- So sorry
Well its been a busy few days. Someone ran into me wednesday in utica. My car was totaled. They tried to turn left where no turn was allowed from the center lane. I was in left lane nearly side by side. They didn't see me. Progressive has been great to deal with. I have...
I kept them a few years and they only laid a hand full of eggs. Tried hatching what I got and got 2 chicks. Only 1 survived. The black rooster went to a boy wanting to breed and show that type. The hens we brought to kings auction (DH has hounded each winter to downsize to reduce feed and water...
With this warm weather this weekend I managed to finish cleaning all the chicken pens in the big barn and DH started the horse run in. Now all that's left is the turkey pen and upper bantam barn. My chickens are loving the weather. Egg production has been eggcellent the last few weeks. :)
My original frizzle pullet came from Rancher, she was out if his buckwheat hen (a cuckoo maran X frenchy cross I believe). I crossed her with an OE (cuckoo maran X Ameraucana cross). These were my first generation maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Since then I have bred in genetics from silver ameraucana...
I call my one cat a chicken friend. She tries to rub up against the chickens and purr like old pals. We rescued a litter of feral kittens a few years ago and once off bottle raised them in the barn with our chickens.
Racher- I had a heated bowl for my bantams but i think my kids ran away with while playing. Now no one remembers a thing about it. I still have the one for my barn kitties and free rangers in the big barn though.
I do have large fowl cochin but I don't show or know the standards. Some of my hens I feel would be closer to standard than others, not hatchery stock though. I could collect eggs if you're interested. They are BBS, with 1 blue frizzle hen and 1 blue mottled hen in the flock. The dominant roo is...
Thats a good price on ground turkey. We just got beef, my cousin raised 3 beefers and couldn't fit it all in his freezer. Drove up to miller's meat market in Lowville to pick it up. I really liked their set up up there.
On an off note with icky weather this week the stomach bug hit for a second...
