    Looks good, they should not need trained at all. My chickens where released and never had a issue with knowing to go in the coup by dark.

    If conventional meat was our only option, I can totally understand why vegans are so anti-meat. Thankfully, there are other options. Be mindful of the food you eat. Not only is it better for you and the environment, but it's clearly better for the animal.

    We have a new chicken tractor and it is better than before. This one will be going all over the place getting rid of the bugs before the garden gets planted. It was made from a free 4 wheeler crate.

    Will have pics soon.

    Egg Bound Hens – How to Recognize, Treat and Prevent
    If you have chickens chances are that at some point you will have an egg bound chicken. Fresh eggs daily can teach you how to recognize the symptoms so you can be prepared for it when it happens. They share how to know the symptoms and how to treat it. They also share advice on how to prevent it. Good info for folks raising or thinking about raising chickens.

    Great news everyone!!! BWRR13 who many of you know HATES chickens has finally agreed to let me have them! It's been years of begging, hinting, pouting and every other ploy I could think of and he has now given. I do have to wait until spring though (but if it were up to me I would just get full grown ones instead of waiting for chicks) but I guess I'm going to have to be patient. His rule is that I have to take care of them but I know that once he sees them and they start following him around he's going to fall in love with them too!
    Just wanted to share the good news. Now the R&D starts.
    I apologize for nothing...

    Awesome. We did lots of research and choose the Black Australorp's. Good layers, handle the heat and the cold, great moms.

    We have finally started building our coop! Yahoo! Babies are getting big and beautiful. My dear friend hatched them for us. Will see if BWRR can post pics for me soon.
