I was out this morning on my deck, which is raised up from the rest of my yard, and I saw a cat. And it didn't look like any house cat I have ever seen. It was lanky and it took long strides when it ran. I have never seen a bobcat with my own two eyes, and it happened so quickly that I can't...

The mother of these two chicks is a black jersey giant. The father is either a silver or golden laced polish. I am not exactly sure how old they are but I want to say 8-10 weeks. The chicks are still pretty shy so it's not real easy to get good pictures of them. If these don't...

As the title states, one of my hens sneaked out of the new coop and started sleeping in my old coop. I didn't think much of it until two nights ago when I saw her wandering around at 8:00pm and thought to myself, "Wow, it's late for her to be out" ...only to find her two baby chicks she...

I woke up the other morning and noticed a huge pile of feathers outside. As I got closer I realized they were feathers that belong to my turkey. I kind of freaked out and went to the coop and opened the door but there was my royal palm tom. He had feathers ripped out of him but he was not...

I have a royal palm turkey and he is a little over two years old. About a month ago he started this bizarre little dance. It's hard to describe but I'll do my best. Ok, so what he does is he puts his wings out to the side and his head down and he starts walking backwards. He usually takes...

Hey, fellas, I am a laying hen kind of bird owner but one of my good friends just ordered 250 meat birds. I had 10 nipple waterers laying around and we ran a PVC pipe in his run and got it working well. I was kind of a slacker and, while I got the nipple waterers, I never used them on my own...

Just got a Green Mountain Grill. I am way impressed with it. We have tried it out a few times and thus far spare ribs has been my favorite. I'm not necessarily looking for recipes I am just curious what you guys have cooked on it and how it turned out. Both good and bad. I had some friends...

I bought two. I know winning is nearly impossible.. but what if?

Anyone out there trying to get into a college or currently going through college? I worked from age 18-23 full time and now I'm 26 and just finished my associates degree. Work part time. Got accepted into the college I wanted to finish my last two years. I'm still late to the game. Anyways...

As the title says, I had a guinea go absolutely crazy and it nearly killed my most dominant rooster. I culled the guinea which I felt bad about but the aggression was just so hazardous to the rest of my flock I had to do it. My rooster was wedged under an old car in my back yard(sounds...

A friend of mine gave me a bumper sticker the other day and wants me to stick it on my car. It isn't really crass or offensive but it definitely is a political jab. I don't want to say what it is because I don't want to spur a debate and make the thread about what it's not. Anyways, I am...

I thought this seemed like a pretty cool idea. I'm sure you could modify his method to produce the same results. I just hard-boiled and dyed 18 eggs... so it's going to be awhile before I get to try it out. Anyone else do this before? How is it?

I went to a friend's house recently and he had baby carrots, cherry tomatoes and light ranch for lunch. It inspired me to eat better snacks than chinese food and pizza. One snack I will share is air-popped popcorn with parmesean cheese as a flavor. Grated into a powder of course. You...

I wish I had a picture but unfortunately one of my housemates ate the egg before I had a chance. But I got an egg yesterday from my white leghorn that looked like a kidney bean... almost like an egg that was bent. It was cute. My leghorn will turn two years old in April so perhaps it could be...

I have a flock of about 40 birds.. 5 roosters. I also have one bantam buff silkie rooster who tries so hard to mate with the LF hens but he can't ever quite get it... and then he makes the hens mad and they chase him around pecking him. It's almost funny but I feel bad for my little silkie...

I'm about to look up Oregon but I saw a clip on the news. Apparently in Kansas after tomorrow you can no longer own more than four cats in one household. Not sure how I feel about that. Anything exciting in your neck of the woods?

I got a very nice fishing rod from my brother and his family, reel attached. He didn't know but I actually bought myself a very nice rod/reel on black Friday... the first black Friday I ever participated in. (it was pretty easy, I only waited in line 10-15 minutes). I will still use his rod...

I processed a turkey yesterday and noticed there was a greenish color between the wing and the breast of the turkey. I searched the internet all over and the only thing I could find is a theory saying it will happen if the bird flaps it's wings a lot. My turkey was really big and he had a hard...

I have slaughtered all of my meat turkeys but I have one royal palm turkey who remains. He hangs out with my three guineas... you would think they were all the same species or something. If any one of them is missing the others become distraught and make noise until they are re-united. I was...
