Wow! There have been a lot of changes around here, will take some getting used to :). I've been gone a while, been through a lot of changes. Getting settled in our new home in a new state. I had to give up my flock when we moved but have ordered babies, due to arrive in April! Anyway... I just...

I posted a month or so back that we will be moving to CO. My husband will be there without me for way too long! LOL Anyway among the things he will miss is fresh eggs. I promised him I would do a shout out to you all and see if there is anyone in or real near Greeley that would be willing...

I know there are lots of Mothers of teenagers out there, SO I want to know how in the world you got past this worry. My son is 16 and he just got his DL on wed. We live in the country and he has been driving himself to FB practise twice a day since. The past two evening I asked him to be...

A neigbor offered me 12 free hens and one duck. All are Last Spring hens so it was a great deal I have searched through this section looking at pictures and just can't figure this one out. I am hoping you can help me She has a double comb. She does not seem small enough to be a...

It is really snowing. It is actually really pretty but I don't think I am quite ready for that just yet. The flowers, pumpkins and potato plants are covered in snow. So are my silly guineas! Any one else have snow yet?

Yes, it is a weird poll, but another thread got me thinking about this. I choose cremation. The only reason I can really think of is my Grandparents and Parents were all cremated and their ashes spread over the same farm ground. So I guess I am just following suit. So what is your...

Another thread brought this question to my mind. I was never a stickler for a seat belt, unless it was my child. I know, that doesn't make any sense at all. New Years eve year before last my teenager asked me to start wearing mine. I said yes. So every time I think, aww not this time, I...

My husband and I decided to add Guineas to our zoo this year. I originally bought 6 but 3 died with in 24 hours. The remaining 3 are doing great and growing fast! When they first came home. Yesterday! Sophie the cats says "Its about time you got up, I have been up babysitting ALL night!"

My teen age son is too cool to appreciate a snow man so I made one for some peeps I knew would appreciate it! Except for the hat it is a chicken friendly snowman and even in the chicken run. He has egg shell buttons, grape eyes, beef jerky logo and unpopped popcorn sprinkled on him!

I got a wonderful surprise in my mailbox yesterday. It was a BYC calender and BYC cookbook! No, I didn't order it. A BYC member living in a different country whom I have never met face to face, sent these to me out of the kindness of her heart! She had seen a post I had written saying I...

It seems from a lot of pictures I see posted that many of us are Mobile Home dwellers! I for one have a newer, but tiny single wide! For fun lets see what percentage of us live in trailers.

This is Mocha! My DH found her on Craigs list. She is a year old. Her left rear leg was amputated at 6 months. We get to pick her up next Sunday. I am very excited. She is a German short hair.

I have potatoes and onions from our garden. They could last us through the winter if I can find a place to keep them. We don't have a cellar or basement to use for cold storage. We do have an extra refrigerator. If we adjust the temp could that work? If so what temp do you suggest? Has...

I had a very aggressive rooster. He attacked people and was very hard on the girls. He got himself a one way ticket to freezer camp. That was months ago. I thought once he was gone his "favorite" girls feathers would grow back in. They haven't and the poor things look awful. The skin is...

I can't take credit for these. I found them in an old Readers Digest yesterday. I thought they were so cute that I would share them. A woman from our office brought in her new baby as well as her 7 year old son. Everyone gathered around the baby. The little boy asked "Mommy, can I have...

We are getting new flooring in our bedroom and have decided now would be a great time to paint too. I have always wanted a bedroom in a rich warm color. Our furniture is off white with brass trim. Our new flooring is carpet squares from Home Depot. My SIL used them and said they are...

Dh and I met some friends at the lake last week. I thought the men might like my pickled eggs. I make them spicy and figured it may be fun to share them with friends. I brought the one wife a dozen fresh eggs because she always says how much she loves them. She knows she gets a free dozen...

Our son had his 8th grade recognition ceremony last Friday. We are so proud of him. He suffered a severe TBI almost 2 years ago. There was a time when we thought he may not make it. Now here he is walking across the stage getting his certificate. Guess where he is today? Drivers Ed...

I just discovered my silkie "Paris" is a Mom! This is my first experience with a successful broody. She still has 2 eggs under her. My question is.. Is it better to leave her in with the other birds and let her take care of her baby, or should I separate her? I did a search and found...

A fellow chicken owner just sent me this! I hope you like it too!
