    2 Brand New Additions

    Well, yesterday I was the first one to notice that there's 2 baby chicks and another Mama hen. Today I ended up putting one of the babies in the hospital (small cat carrier in the house on the kitchen table) because not of an open wound but a sore foot/leg. I'm guessing it's only about 3-4...

    Veggies

    I like most veggies ( sweet corn [ butter and sugar corn on the cob], sweet potatoes, peppers, radishes, MUSHROOMS, spinach, etc). I dislike lima beans, okra. I will eat peas but only if they are in Macaroni Salad. The reason I'm doing this poll is to see what the more popular veggies would be...

    4 Steers

    I think they all get camera shy at different points seeing how at least one decides to hide behind the others whenever I go to snap pics. But they all have different personalities- Taco very friendly, Mouthy Buddy will approach but skittish, Shadow and Houdini will back away

    Old fashioned cough syrup

    When my Great-Grandmother was alive and I lived with her. Every time I had a sore throat or a cough she used to fix a homemade cough syrup from honey and a couple other ingredients. I think lemon juice was one and brown sugar was another but I can't remember. Does anyone know about homemade...

    Catnip

    Has anybody else heard that catnip isn't just for cats? I just saw on a site that I'm currently doing research on for herbs that the leaves can be candied and eaten as a desert plus it's oils can be used to relieve the symptoms of headaches and nervousness.

    Broody Hen

    I have this one Buff Orpington hen that I always have to remove from the nesting box at night when I gather the eggs. She never attempts to attack me unless my cousin is with me but if he locks them in and gathers the eggs she attempts to attack him when he goes to remove her then if he succeeds...
