Take heart! Spring is on its way, we (the chooks included) are already eating a bit of the kale, pumpkins are up, oregano has come alive again, lettuce up and doing well enough for small salads, cayenne peppers settled in and growing etc. etc. about growing potatoes, has anyone tried this...

They look so good!!!

OMG!!! It just doesn't pay to be off the internet for a few days....FINALLY caught up, but that involved soooooo much skimming! All I can say is WOW! So much of interest going on....welcome to all the new people, Aoxa, Henry is sure a handsome young man! Your basement chicks look wonderful! I...

The minute we got rid of our second roo, the crowing lessened BIG TIME. They do feed off each other and compete with each other and it was the mid-morning, noon "Crow-Fests" that used to drive me crazy. In a situation like you are in, one roo is probably a good idea. They do not seem to out-grow it.

I have noticed with my guy he always keeps out of my way when I am around him, not that he isn't "friendly" or wouldn't mob me for meal worms, but he always stays off to the side behind the girls. I have tried to walk through him now and again to see what would happen and it's an instant he...

Might take more time for them to size him up and get used to him, and then possibly best done while free ranging. Maybe they are mad at you for getting rid of Duke and are seeking revenge?

She'll figure out soon enough it is all a ploy on his part....Here my dear, a nice tasty morsel for you...and you won't mind a bit if i just.....get to know you better? My leghorn is quite the flyer too.

This Pic just BEGS to be captioned! The look on Henry's face is priceless! Sort of a "don't worry bunny, I will grow up to be big and I will take care of you...." sort of look.

It just dawned on me that yesterday was the first year anniversary of the arrival of our chickens. In that year they have produced 923 eggs. Not bad considering they were young and the first egg didn't arrive until July and the "B' team girls weren't added to the flock until October. A whole...

It's funny you should say that! It's the pink training egg that always got kicked out.....except for Alice who saw it as her favorite when she needed a training egg. The pink training egg is now to the point where the two halves do not snap together properly...so when I stuck it under a...

I found that steaming the fresh eggs for 15-20 minutes and then putting them in cold water to cool down works extremely well. I go for the 20 minutes and it works with the eggs right out of the nest. I'm somewhat (like a whole LOT) of a klutz, so just putting them in a metal colander that...

LW - So very sorry - As my DH would say in his best cynic's voice "No good deed goes unpunished". The timing is never good. Wishing you all the best, and that means what is best for you. Sometimes it means reinvention of oneself. It's a darn shame about the chickens.

You love it and you know it! We do too! The laundry isn't going anywhere and chicks grow by the minute it seems. Can I tell you how envious I am?!!!! Hope all goes well on the hatch.

Ahhhhhhh...Little Thor sure has some "attitude"!!!! Absolutely loving all the pics of everyone's wee little ones. Justine, so good to see you back at it with your camera too.
