Oh They look great.....

I use pulverized lime in my nest boxes and on the floor before putting pine chips down..I never smell my chickens inlet the grazing area is very very wet..then I use lime on it and the smell goes away immediately.

I have to fill and drain hose about twice or 3 times a week when the temp goes near 32 degrees and when it gets to 17 degrees I have to wrap the spouts of the waterer or they will freeze. I just use plastic bags on the lower area at night and take it away in the morning. The feed bin is topped...

Why wouldn't you make a permanent chicken coop out of pallets??? It could be simple or deluxe. Either way it would be cheaper than doing it with regular product... This is my feeder. It does have a lid on it now. Waterer has a saucer under it with an overflo in case it leaks. It also...

@frustratedearthmother Yes, I have tweaked it to suit our taste and It is delish and oh so cheap....I will never eat it out again... Next I will finish the bacon I have frozen then on to beef dishes....Must clean out my freezers. I have 4 or 5 of them and would like to get us back down to 2, 1...

Got the last of the onions made into french onion soup and canned up...I got 31 pints and 2 pints that didn't seal. So at $30 dollars my french onion soup costs less than $1.00 a pint which holds 2 servings. That is 50 cents per serving add a little toasted stale bread and some cheese and you...

Whoooa!!!!! You have blown me away......I knew you had to soak them in lots of salt and that would help you not to get so much gas...but.....that's all I knew.....YUP! we all learn lots from each other... THANKS

BTW, I have seen that egg video before and I want to do some eggs in slacked lime one day.... I keep my dried beans in the pantry and also canned in various ways. Always good for an instant meal...I like that. I also keep about 100 pints of chicken and turkey broth on my shelf most of the time...

The skin is, the best thing for you, on the whole potato or even the carrot...Why would you take it off...??

So @Ezeigler , Do you have birds other than chickens?....There is a poultry sale on Sept 23 in the parking lot outside of Tobias. Anyone can go look and buy.....They sell pheasants, chickens, ducks, and all kinds of things. Even plants and exotic birds....It is really a good time. It's free to...

OMGosh!!!! Welcome just like @MoonShadows WELCOME FROM PA.....So you live in Halifax...Do you ever go to Tobias in Sept? To their tailgate sale????

Yes it is...Selling my eggs at the moment is not important but when my hubby retires, sometime in the future, that will be part of our income to help keep the "little estate" going... The greenhouse will start selling plants again, it does not do that at the moment. All these things will keep...

Well, I should have about 90 but when I get babies in and grow them up it fluctuates. And then get rid of the old ones... Ninety if the magic number....lol

Here are some others coming up. They are Polish chickens. The smaller ones in the tank are Serama. The taller ones are more Polish. I weed out anything in my Serama once it is full grown. Then I sell anything that is over 7 inches tall... I don't want any that are 12 inches tall.. They are the...

We have no other place to keep them warm enough. These babies will replace my older crew. They eggs are not being sold to my egg customers as they are too small. When I have an overstock of these birds I sell them t the Pennsylvania Avicultural Society tailgate sale... There are two sales each...

@sumi Very cute you keeping them in a dog crate..

sumi, You are so funny.....How cute..... I should stop in to see him in spring....He should come to my garden tour in June if he likes plants not veggies....LOL We are only about 4 miles from each other....

My chickens never cut back on laying...Of course, having allot I may not notice if someone stops for a while. The thing we do that others don't is, we extend the light before the days get shorter rather than after the days are already shorter. That seems to keep them in laying mode rather than...

Everything looks very nice. I like that you can talk the eggs without going into the house....I have to go into the house to get my eggs out of the boxes....
