I want to get rid of some chickens and the chickens want to make more chickens, Blk Aus went broody on a dozen and I have been out voted by Wife, Daughter and Granddaughter. Off to Tractor Supply for 1/2" Rabbit Wire so the little darlings don't bolt through the chain link. I found out about the...

Moments ago drinking coffee on the back porch. whole lotta shaken goin' on. 4.8 in Hunterdon County about 80 miles North of me. pretty cool. Now I'm a'scared earthquake, solar eclipse Tuesday. Chicken Little, Chicken Little, it's an oooomen.:lau

Just a little pre rut testing.

This is a Yote from 2022 I'm trying to figure out posting pictures but I'm not sure. Would like to crop. White stakes are 10 yrd markers for Archery

Possum couldn't resist the shelled hard boiled eggs, found him in the Have-A-Heart at daybreak. Took him for a ride to the big woods and bid him adios. Ambled out of the trap and moseyed into the swamp without so much as a look back. THAT'S THE THANKS I GET? :idunno Wild life, who knows what...

Went out for eggs 2:PM and found a possum moving under the straw. Young one I'll call it a teenager. No big deal just shooed it out the chicken door with a 4 iron. It's under the coop now. I'll boil or scramble some eggs and set up the Have-A-Heart this evening. Nothing to panic about, just...

Is it the weather or that she's from NEW JERSEY? I'm guessing both. :lau:he https://www.foxnews.com/video/6345187923112

Inch and a half of snow last night, opened up the access door at daybreak for the crew, NOPE, we ain't going out in that, aren't even sticking our heads out there! They didn't even show a little curiosity, What CHICKENS!:pop

As we know, Xylitol, usually as a sweetener in some peanut butters, is highly toxic for our dogs and other pets. Well the slicky marketing people have changed the name on labeling to "Birch Sugar". Sounds sooo natural and good, huh! If this is toxic to our pets what makes it good for human...

Checked the SD Card and had a late night visit from Wylie Coyote. ten feet from the hives 20 yrds from the bird run. He ain't missin' any tines from his dinner fork, healthy thick winter coat. Must be on the Venison Diet!

12:02 AM, a young Coyote took a position between the bedroom window and the woods, about a 40' piece and cut loose. So close I could hear the initial woof wuff before the howl. Half a dozen where are you howls and down the road a quarter mile to the neighbors and cranks up again. Guessing by the...

Have only seen one Rattle Snake crossing this year. This afternoon at about 4:30 PM about 70-75 yrds down the road. Same direction going from North to South every year at this time when the air is hot and muggy. Roughly three and a half feet with 8 rings and a button. Not a shabby rattle for a...

Although I am happy with their egg production the increase of egg size is lacking . Getting small to small medium after roughly 8 wks of laying. If memory serves me our RIR and BAR RKS were dropping bombs at this age Any input from Australorp keepers welcomed. Same layer feed used on previous...

Day break and coffee on the back porch and the roosters are harmonizing. One does a verse the other does a verse then they join note for note. Two different tones on them as one is 8 wks younger Uncanny how they are in sync on the chorus.

FREE!! Hatchery goofed on sexing. Just starting to crow. Already have 6 Month old for our 8, now 7 hens. Located in Woodland Twp, Pine Barrens of NJ. Will meet for pick up within reasonable distance.

Locked the crew up a little after sun set last nightt, walked over to check the bees bearding on the front of the hive because of the heat, turned toward the house and almost stepped on a 3 1/2 ' Black Racer that I took as just another surface root. Zipped off towards the run and coop area...

I just wanted to mention that the difference of getting day olds from a private dedicated breeder and various feed stores is very evident. Grabbed 4 more hens to lighten the load on the first four hens and roo we picked up from a private breeder. 100% sexing from breeder 75% from feed store. Roo...

Sitting on the back porch at pre dawn, Rudy (DW named him :he) doing the wake up call and then comes this weak tentative voice. DW was right, he's a roo. At 4 months he shows his hand. Older roo crowed at 3 months. Now I have a 4 month old BLK AUS that we will be giving away to anybody looking...

You buy them books, send them to school and they still want to lay their eggs on the floor in the back corner. They didn't read the chapter lay in a dark secure nesting box. What shall I do? I know, lay 'em where you want, just so you lay 'em! :D

Do you enjoy/have a mixed flock of different breeds or do you keep one breed? Me, I like to have at the most 2 breeds keeping them segregated and rotating free range. At this time I have Blk Aus but the pull of getting back to some RIRs , my all time favorite is really gnawing at me.
