These are definately cornish something. They've got the compact bodies of a cornish. They're actually about the same weight as my 4 month old leghorn roo. They could possibly be a cornish x mixed with something else, but I'm 100% sure. They came from the auction, but I honestly doubt that...

Remember that the jars will be reusable. Another thing, look for dutch jel/gel. It's spelled different ways depending on who's selling it. I finally brought my canning stuff over here, so I can get an exact price on it... $4.59/lb. It uses 52g per "batch", which is the exact amount that comes in...

Out of curiosity, I weighed some of the cornish x again today. At 2lbs, I was like, there's NO WAY they are going to hit 6-8lbs in three weeks. Until I went back through my records and noticed that they've gained 6.4 times their weight in less than three weeks. Going from about 5oz, to 2lbs in...

Personally, I'd get your goat pen started, but wait on the goats. $600 just sounds way too outrageous. A goat in milk WITH a doeling at her side doesn't even go for $300 around here, usually half that. The mini breeds are even cheaper.

Ugh. I saw something mentioning the "milk man" who was "forced" to stay in his cell full of sewage. That irritates me, as I've read the story on it and it's a bunch of BS. I'm sorry, but when a fully capable man craps all over his cell or clogs his toilet intentionally to create a disgusting and...

That's where I was looking! I can actually afford that! Lol. The ducks should be fine with it. I've used regular rabbit type water bottles for them before (not this group, but another group of ducks) and they did fine. It might take them a little bit longer than the other birds to figure out...

I'm assuming that she's not paying $600 just for the doelings. I figured she meant with some fencing and such it'd cost her about $600 to get them. That, or she'd get them and still have some money left over, but not enough for the rabbit barn. Honestly, I'd get the goats. The rabbits should get...

My garden is finally starting to look a little bit better. Everything is starting to slowly recover with the fence up. I still only have one pepper, but it's starting to pull the plant down it's so heavy. The two romas are getting closer to harvest every day, though two tomatoes won't do much. I...

Thank you guys! I can't wait to order some nipples. The chooks wouldn't be bad, but the stupid ducks slop everything out, so I have to rinse and refill several times per day, and through the night, they go without because nothing will stop the ducks so far. Hate those ducks!!! With the garden...

My pap runs a butcher shop at his house (well, it's a shop below the house, but still) and he actually has a dump pond way up in the woods. When they have a skull they want to keep, they put it NEAR the pond (instead of in it) and everything just eats it off. Chickens would be a great idea, the...

With Cherokee blood, you should look into the native American crafts. I know that my mother has a peace pipe with a small skull in the middle that she paid $200-$300 for. Just a stick, some suede strappy stuff, a small piece of antler and a skull. Of course some beads and feathers as well. You...

I just need a spot of help. I want to get some of the nipple waterers and set up two 5g buckets for water for the beasts. My only thing is... do you only need the little screw in nipple piece or do you need other stuff too? Do you just drill a hole and screw that in, or do you need to have like...

We do have the two corn fields here and I plan to scavenge them after they harvest. I'm sure the birds will go and do some of their own scavenging as well, lol. I wish the wheat field had been the one adjacent to the yard though, because that's not really worth the effort of picking it up...

I was thinking about putting it behind the garage, where it'd be on asphalt and out of the main portion of wind and rain. As for a latch, I'd actually have an outside lock so that nothing could get into it. I lock my coop up, so feed would be easy to lock up, since I'd have the feed trash can in...

We had ten eggs yesterday. Today started off with two eggs. I let the two roos out to run the yard today. The big boy was being good, until the kids and I came in for breakfast and George stayed out to watch the birds. He thought he'd test George out. After about a minute of him trying to flog...

THIS! I see a lot of free freezers that no longer work. If I could figure out where to put one, I'd be snatching one up in a heartbeat! I wonder if you could keep one outside in the elements?

Yesterday the boyfriend picked up four HUGE bags of hardwood shavings from the forestry department at work. It equals to at least eight bags of shavings from TSC, saving me about $45. :D

Honestly, I'm not all that worried about them tracking what I purchase at the grocery stores. If they want to know that I'm a cheap-o who buys cheap stuff that I can afford and wipe my ass with toilet paper, all the more power to them.

BMI depends. Typically, you can look at a person and tell if the BMI is a problem. Excess fat IS a problem, because it messes with your system. Fat stores and releases more estrogen which can cause problems later in life, not to mention the issue of possible diabetes. I'm not sure if you're...

Lol. Thanks guys! I'm glad I'm not just plum crazy, lol. We ended the day with eight eggs. There might have been more laid, because the eighth egg was found in the bush by George. He was looking for any other chickens, and comes back and hands me an egg, lol.
