He purchased a nice, used chicken farm.
He soon discovered that his next-door neighbor was also a CHICKEN FARMER!
The neighbor came to visit one day and offered, "Chicken...

I've been plaqued with .........LEAVES!
Each day, when I can, I'm cleaning the yard. I live in the woods and leaves are heavy when they fall. I don't want them to smoother my grass, as it is, the grass has a hard enough time with all the shade. But I DO love my trees! Guess it is the...
How many of you own property with graves or a cemetery located on it?
Yes, I think we have found a grave! I have known for many years that our subdivision was once a part of a large plantation owned by the Quillians family far back in the 1800's. I have done a lot of family research and have...

today and invited her to join the BYC forum. Last week, I saw an episode of her show and she had brought on some of her own chickens. She says she has 196 chickens of all breeds. Thought she might anonymously join our forum. Wouldn't that be cool to have her among us and not even know of it...

I have heard that some people have had hens that on occasion lay twice in a day. I have had chickens for forty years and I have never experienced a hen laying two eggs in one day! Yesterday, I found two eggs in the nest! I only have a rooster and hen together in this pen so I know for certain...
As a member of BYC and the Ameraucana Breeders Club, I am posting some links and pictures that correspond with various ameraucana breeding projects that are underway by many ABC members. ALL OF THESE COLOR VARIETIES ARE NOT YET RECOGNIZED AND ARE STILL CONSIDERED NON-AMERAUCANA UNTIL PROPER...
I went outside this morning to feed my chickens. I noticed I was missing my favorite birchen rooster. I walked inside the cage and there lay the rooster dead inside of the nest box. While I was examining the rooster to determine his cause of death I found loose feathers in the bottom of the...
