Very Funny made me giggle even with this nasty cold! Happy Thanksgiving!!

I too have bald chickens, mine was due to a rooster who was over zealous in his work;) They have always been just fine in the winter, of course they have a nice warm coop to be in most of the time. If your really concerned you could always knit her a scarf lol

My goats are fed alfalfa/orchard. They love it and it is cost effective here. I only have one pet rabbit now and he gets the same, with fresh produce thrown in daily. During the good weather he is free ranged in a nice size piece of the pasture and does just fine.I know it doesn't save me much...

Nothing too exciting- Me and DS are taking a truck load of stuff off to goodwill,after 7 yrs of trying to get him to go though his stuff after moving into the new house,I came home from work the other day and lo and behold he had started with his closet. Then it is over to a friends apt...

I make my dog food and use a loose "recipe" of 1/3 veggie to 2/3 protein. I also throw in some rice as filler. I use this food as extra feed/treat. I have never canned it, always froze it, but this year freezer space is at a premium so I'am going to try canning it. Wish me luck.

Don't mean to hickjack, but gotta ask CJ why not Yakima, thats where I'am.Lived here most of my life, it's not perfect, but it bets the Tri-cities. Wife- I think WV would be great and so beautiful!

I did this 12 years ago and have never looked back. Have a plan, have back up, have someone to talk to. You may still have days like this :barnie, but the end results with be so worth it.:ya Just remember to keep smiling even when you feel :somad at the world. You'll get through it,and then...

homestead- is there any way you can separate a few of your gals, to see who is laying and who is not? This is how I do it so I can cull. We are of the same line of thinking if your not carring your own weight then-off with your head- and into the freezer you go!

Lala, are there any ceramic shops in your area? I have done ceramics for years, and any shop should have egg moulds. They don't cost much and you get to paint them the way you would like, just think of all the cool colors and designs you could come up with. Can you just imagine what the hens...

All our meat is grass fed,didn't know there was any other kind. All butcher animals get grain everyday but it's only a coffee can full. Then a month before slaughter we start to grain a little more. We have the best meat, all who have eaten it agree, it is so tender that we can take a sirloin...

Today I found a guy who still has tomatoes and we are going to trade, eggs for toms. I also picked up a new egg customer for 4 dz a month. DH found a guy on craigslist that had railroad ties, round poles, and t-post for sale at an unbelievable price.He picks them up after work tomarrow,we...

The temp here is in the 70s and the nights 40s Just the way I like it. But we usually get frost the end of Oct.

I do agree with ALANB.if ya want bacon go for long breeds. We give ours grain with the scraps and if it's for butcher we grain heavy the last month. Fancy-they don't have to smell just give them room to have space for a corner to eat in,and one to potty in.They are by nature clean animals and...

Do you have chickens? Mine love all that stringy junk. Or compost, thats about all I do with it. So group any other ideas?

I'am with ALANB, we too raised pigs about 10 yrs back and it can be fast cash, and they will eat about anything. Dairy is good for feed,we would make a slop in the winter out of dairy, chopped hay and grains, sometimes we even got bread from the day old bakery and added it, and any veggies/...

Price depends on what part of the country your in,( here central wa state, and depending on the age) they start at about that and can get as high as 65.00. Make sure it doesn't have any hernias, is active, and the mother is healthy and has been raised in a clean pen. At least thats what I look...

Hey Buddy, thanks for that spice rub recipe----so cherry jello-- thats the serect.. can't wait to try this,I will be smoking the weekend of the first,as I will be out of town to my sissys wedding next week end. Is this good on any meat/fowl?

I didn't even know you could buy it in the stores, I have never seen it around here but then we don't have a good selection of healthy options to shop at. In fact only one health food store, and them Fred Meyers has a small section. The stuff you do at home as got to be better for you, with...
