I really don't mean to sound dense. But....I still don't get the sprouting. By scratch, is that the feed you give them? Or something totally different. I can't believe how little I know, considering I lived in Kentucky when I was small. We fed our chickens scraps and I think dried corn. And fed...

Thanks you all!! Appreciate it a lot. :D

Hi. I have a couple of questions. 1: How do I change my password? I can't remember the one I was given without looking it up. Yes, I am old!! 2. How do I add the sayings and pictures and such to my profile or page thingy? Thank you in advance. :)

Hahahahahahahaha!! I was in the Navy. Haven't seen those in a long time. Not sure what the TARFU one is though. I will ask the Hubster. :)

"You can sprout scratch grains to feed to critters. There is a huge vitamin spike at that point, so it's really good for critters plus you'll use a lot less grain overall. I read that sprouting will save you 1/3 to 2/3 of your feed bill." Could you explain this better please? No idea what you...

Oh I love this group!!! Imagine all the replies I got! We have pretty much decided on both. The neighbors that have chickens don't take good care of them. The hens lay good enough. I feel sorry for their rooster. He has a minimal pen, and hardly any room to roam. He is a beauty, not sure what...

The Hubster and I are trying to get more self sufficient. I grew up in Kentucky, and love rabbit and chicken, squirrel,venison, pork, the list goes on. Anyway, we are kicking around raising rabbits or chickens for meat. At this point, the research I've done is leaning towards rabbits. We live in...

YAY!!!! Worse, or better. :D

I have actually thought about a small pond out of the dish. But since we are trying to get more selfsufficient, I want to use it as a resource or what ever. I love the idea of the clothes line, and also the idea of a chicken coop. The roof any way. I am so loving this forum stuff so far!! A lot...

Wouldn't rain get through the meshing? Or could you seal it somehow?

Here is my two cents worth. For home defense, a shotgun would be difficult to manuever inside the house. Outside or from a porch or window I think they would be hard to beat. A 12 gauge kicks a lot. As a female, I would prefer a 20 gauge. For inside the house, a handgun that packs a punch would...

Man, I wish I could see pictures of the cages you made. Would they work for a run for chickens or cages for rabbits? Hubby is quite mechanical and I like to learn as well.:)

I live in Ohio. Cincinnati area, but in a somewhat rural area, thank God!!! Sorry. I posted at the wrong thread. But still glad to be here. Totally new to this forum stuff, but think I am gonna like it!!

I am considering raising chickens for eggs. Also, thinking about rabbits for food. I bet we could use it that way somehow as well.

I am a Navy Vet. I was in from May 1982 to March 1987. I was a MR2 when I got out. Machinery Repairman. E-5. Worked in the machine shop and the engraving shop. I met my husband onboard the ship we were on. He was a HT2, a welder and pipe fitter on board.

Hi All. I am totally new to forums. So if I sound stupid, or mess up, please forgive me. I am sorry in advance. When we bought our house a few years ago, it had one of those huge old style satellite dishes in the back yard. After four plus years of mowing around it, we are tired of it. We don't...
