Due to catastrophic circumstances beyond my control, All my chickens need a new home.
I have several beautiful, well behaved roosters including big red from my roo behavior page, as well as some great laying hens. Some are mutts and some have pure bloodlines.
They are all pet quality, not...
One of my absolute favorite hens has some type of fluid building up in her abdomen.
She is almost 3 years old, still an active layer and in generally good health otherwise.
Her diet is the same as it has been, no changes there.
What could cause fluid to build up like this?
I used a needle...
Some of the labels on my prescription medications are so stupid.
One says " Take one tablet twice a day"
Just how do they expect me to get the tablet back after I take it the first time?
I was out in the run just before dusk giving my birds their evening meal when my roosters sounded the alert.
I looked up just in time to see a medium sized hawk coming in level 2 feet above the top of the run fence.
My first instincts were to grab at its legs as it came over, but I'm about 6...
Just got word that my company is giving me a promotion to a position that I have held before.
Maybe its a re-motion?
In these troubled economic times moving up to a better paying position is rare, so I'm thankful and feel very lucky even though the promotion is the result of alot of hard work...
Quite literally.
My Mom called me today to tell me that She is going to marry her boyfriend.
My Dad passed 6 years ago.
I personaly am not real fond of this guy, but he makes my Mom happy, she gets out and travels with him a lot, they take cruises, etc..., he treats her welland knows what...
Eartha Kitt, better known to the fans of the 60's TV series Batman as Cat woman died today.
She also sang the 1953 version of the song "Santa baby" which I heard played on the radio just yesturday.
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, widow of the late Gene Rodenberry of Star Trek fame died December 18, 2008 as a result of complications from leukemia.
She appeared in the pilot episode of Star Trek : The cage as the unnamed first officer "number one" and has appeared as various characters in...
Haven't heard a coyote in weeks... until tonight.
They were very close to my house when they started their howling session, maybe 50 yards into the woods at the edge of my property. Way too close.
They haven't gone near my coops and I don't think they can get in if they do but SIL lost her cat...
Hatched in Feb. 2008
This roo is a cross from my BR roo and BA hen.
Temperment is like a barred rock.
Not aggressive toward humans.
The dark barring is scattered with green & purple irridescence.
Legs are pink with black spots, and he has white earlobes and black beak.
Free to good home.
This rooster was hatched in Feb. 2008 from my own stock.
Father is my alpha rooster.
He is not overly aggressive with hens, but is interested.
He is not aggressive toward humans.
This one is a keeper, not for the stew pot. He will make a fine flock protecter.
Need to rehome several roosters, this on hatched in Feb. 2008 from my own stock, he has no tail! Both parents are textbook examples of a BR, both have tails.
Not aggresive toward humans, would probably make a good alpha rooster.
I'm located on the West side of Atlanta.
I will not ship.
