  1. I have the Lockdown scheduled for Tuesday.  I can't believe how much different they feel when I roll them.

     

    If anyone here raises chickens for good bloodlines and will be hatching out in the next year, then please let me know and I'll reserve a chick or two for you.  Otherwise they will probably be going to 4H kids.  I can't keep more than 5 because my coop isn't that big.  One old biddy will be in the stew pot in June so that will be my maximum of 8.

     

    Thanks for posting and I find myself looking forward to the next posts.  I find these timeline posts interesting and educational.

  2. I did not find chickens fun when I was in high school but they were not pets for us.  Every morning collect eggs before school, I should have been a football kicker because I got good at punting.  One Sunday a month was slaughter day, we only did 25 to 50 and it really did not take too long but I hated it.  If you do slaughter your own chickens I can say hanging them upside down on a line to dispatch is much easier and it is quick when you are doing a large amount at one time.  They will not be flopping on the ground and getting dirty.

  3. For those that have a groundhog problem, if you know where the groundhog burrow holes are, you can pour used fresh cat litter down the holes and they will pick up and move a little further away. It has also worked on two different skunks for us that liked to burrow under the deck.

     

    I forgot to add that we tried using store bought ammonia but it did not work as well.
