8212; Main Menu —. Grandma and I Save Blanco’s Life! This happened in the evening of Christmas Eve. My grandma and I were feeding the animals outside. It was quite cold and the snow was pretty deep, maybe six to eight inches. We were almost finished and my grandma told me to go back in the house when I was done feeding the two Pomeranians in their lot. I told her I would, so she went inside. Right then Blanco ran to the side where she was standing including the dog house that was inside the lot. The ...

8212; Main Menu —. We hoped for the best but didn’t think a brown domesticated rooster would stand much of a chance against the weasels, foxes, hawks, etc. for very long. When he didn’t show up by evening we went in and went to bed feeling sorry for the poor little guy. We got up the next day and while doing the morning chores I stopped in amazement. Far, far in the distance I could hear crowing! The little bugger had made it through the night! I spent my wonderful childhood years on our amazing 90 woode...

8212; Main Menu —. Who Says Chickens are color blind? It came as a real shock to find out that my chickens could tell what colors they were eating. I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat! My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain, and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats. This post was submitted by Lynne.

8212; Main Menu —. Sometimes it doesn’t end well. So we had this rooster, right? We named him King, because he was a Polish, and as you may know, Polish have these weird crown-like, pompoms on their heads. Also he had a kind of regal air, strutting around like Mick Jagger on stage, thrusting his chest forward as roosters are want to do. This is, I guess, a kind of typical rooster story, because I’ve heard it in some iteration or other several times. But here’s how this one went down. So I reloaded and st...

8212; Main Menu —. For the past 20 years, we have had a flock of free range, nondescript hens and roosters. As a teacher, I have seen every year the wonder in my students’ eyes when we incubated eggs at school. Concurrently, I always allow one or two broody hens to sit on and hatch eggs, so that when the incubated chicks return home, they will accept them along with their own. At this point in the story, I should mention that we have horses and a two-story barn. The second story is our hay loft. Great st...
