You have to learn what comes out of these things. They don't...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    No they are not the ones with the wild hair styles. Below is a polish chicken. That's what you are talking about. This one is a baby. I don't have any normal roosters. I only hatch the odd chickens and therefore keep roosters for them.

    A New Garden Pond in the Pocono Mountains

    @MoonShadows Starting just a bit too early sir...You should wait just a few weeks. That little pond looks wonderful. Do the palm trees in the background come with it? j/k Can you put fish in it? I actually never saw or thought about an above ground pond. I love it and will be looking forward...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    @MoonShadows So maybe you should be happy for not getting a tarp... my worries are realized. What you are looking at is the tarp that was help up with wood sitting on the ground with 10 or 15 inches of snow on it.... We even got the plow Jeep stuck about 5 times. It is really impossible...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    Because the sick migratory birds flying over and dropping their feces where healthy birds are will infect the healthy ones. Spreading lime in that area and 2 feet on the outside of the pens will 'help' kill the infected feces. There is not a big threat of avian virus at the moment but I would...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    Nice @MoonShadows This is how it looks in the summer..of course you are only looking at half the tarp.It is allot of square feet. We have cut that in half for the winter as there would be no way to take the snow off this large area. We use the tarp to wart off Avian Virus in summer. It is...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    I have a tarp over half of the grazing area...we made sure it was clear of all old snow and ice but we are worried it may cave in. Don't want to take it off so we will be removing it every few hours...with a snow rake. Hoping it will be ok.. My chickens will be outside for some of this snow...

    Vertical windmill

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    Yes @Mini Horses it is PVC. It sits about 3 inches from the bottom of the barrel so when the 300 pounds of food drops down to the bottom of the barrel and the chickens stick their head in to get the food. They took to it in a minute. I showed about 5 how to get the food and the rest followed...

    Adding new chickens to our flock

    I usually buy hens about every 6 months and when they are old enough they get banded. I can tell the age of all my chickens. Some sit in the nest box not to lay eggs but just to be lazy and rest. So I keep them for 3 years and then it's out the door with them. They are constantly being rotated...
