Been down and out with a bad cold the past couple of days. Sucks. Hoping I am well enough to go to my Mother's for Easter dinner on Sunday. She has pretty advance COPD so we are careful to try not to bring any illness into her house. We have family dinners at her place as it is hard for her to get o...

I will be honest, I am not convinced that chickens make good urban pets. There are times my own chickens drive me crazy when they are up early on a Sunday morning telling the world they are laying their eggs. They are noisy, stinky, attract vermin and predators. yes, less so when they are housed and...

Looks like my daughter's plan for a trip to Brussels this summer are now cancelled. She had already been rethinking it a little but this is the last straw, just not worth the risk. A prime example of why I consider myself an atheist...there is more evil done in this world in the name of religion.

The cage birds were inexpensive but the chickens / ducks/ geese seem to go at regular market value or higher. One African gander went for 105, not sure if that is expensive or a deal it is the fi...

So thinking of making an appearance since hubby is working tomorrow. Do some chicken and people watching!!!

Anyone doing something to identify themselves?

For you Irish folk out there. Since some of us were on a bit of a Muppet kick lately I found this for you.

Thanks everyone, really relieved to finally get it before spring and babies come along. I realize it probably wont be too long before another moves in to the territory so wont put anything else in the barn until I have the pens ready. yes Doug, you will know when I am ready for silkies! Thanks Ross ...
