Hey. Been naround for a minute or two ..... Sorry, seems like I only come here for help. Asking for prayers to help with an addiction to potato juice (vokda). It's litterally killing me. Any advice will be a help .

..... And forgiveness for me, and my (lack of) action with the extreme weather. Hello all, been awhile since I've been around. I had to relate this to someone, but in fear of losing my man card, I can't tell any of my friends or neighbors right now, cause of my crackling voice, and tears...

I was looking through an SD card from this past August, and I found a picture of Juju playing with a 3ish week old Saphire Gem chick. Just thought I'd share it, and a few others with you. Juju, alpha of my 3 dog pack. The Chicks, 3 week-ish old Saphire Gems with momma Tarisita. The...

Roosting at night for the first time tonight ! I'm so proud ! :yesss: I slipped 8 - day old chicks under broody Tarasita about 6 weeks ago, and when I closed the flock up tonight, they were roosting with momma in the back room of the coop not, underneath her on the floor like usual. I have...

Sorry for the rant, but I had to share this ..... I have an established flock of a dozen or so hens, and 8 three week old babies, it's all peace and love, with everybody getting along fine. A neighbor a few miles away has 3 pullet/hens, and a cockerel/rooster that they, for some unknown...

How many do you see ? I looked at it many times before I saw it ! Just a cute pic, no prizes .....

I just slipped 8 - 4 day old chicks under Tarasita the broody Barred Rock Thursday, 3 days ago, and she already has them out of the brooder, and into the back room of the coop. They have been in contact with the rest of the flock, and so far so good ! Is this a good thing ??? Or should I...

Here is a peek at the next generation ! 8 brand new Sapphire Gems from Rural King in the brooder. These pics were taken just hours before I slipped these cuties under Tarasita, the broody Barred Rock. More on this extremely successful sleight of hand later ..... :celebrate...

Sorry for all the questions, but my research has not provided any clear cut answers. I have a dozen hatching eggs set to arrive today, and have been researching to see if I need to let them rest or not. It seems to be about a 50/50 split on resting or not. I need someone with experience...

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but my search skills and terminology apparently need some improvement ..... I have a broody Barred Rock I got from Hoovers, via Rural King, and I'd like to dip my toe into the hatching game and let her do all the work, but I need some info on how to go...

I live in a very rural, heavily wooded 11 acre lot at the end of a 3/4 mile gravel road. The closest neighbor is about 1/2 mile away. A couple of months ago I lost 2 birds to this fox and his mate. I also lost one at the end of last year, I suspect to the same pair. I relegated the chooks...

I just watched Tarasita the Barred Rock swallow a whole 6" baby copperhead !!! Several chooks gathered in a circle drew my attention. A scuffle ensued, Tarasita took off with the prize, and after pecking it to death, commenced to swallowing the serpent ! I clearly saw the victim. Should I...

I have one ! It was my understanding that these type of hatchery mixes rarely go broody, but one of mine sure is ! Any insight into this Hoovers exclusive mix, or broodiness of other mixes, would be welcome. I've only been a chicken tender for a bit over a year and and half, and never...

My very close friends 11 year old daughter has taken the number one spot, in some sort of national scholastic contest, (I'll get more details today) and I would like to get her a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) gift, or something to reward her for her achievements. I have NO idea...

If you don't agree with culling an aggressive rooster, or firearms for that matter, that's fine, please do not read any further. Please no comments on what I should have done. I'm not looking for your approval or anything, just relaying a tragic turn of events that happened...

I have (had) a black sex link named B2 that would not hang out with the flock when free ranging. She would always separate herself from the rest, and always end up on the other side of the property. EVERY evening she would have to be found, rounded up, and chased back to the coop, where all...
