Cheryl, I love your headline! Jerry, I have no idea how far a chicken can travel on its own. I think it depends on whether its wings have been...
Yes, that's what I do with leftover 7-Up. I have heard that an aspirin in the water helps, too.
Cheryl, Yes, a toad in the garden is a wonderful thing! We have a ceramic pot turned upside down near an old stump. Since there are pot plants...
Shortly after we got our lady hens, a banty hen from nowhere moved in with them. No one for a mile around was missing a banty. No problem, she was...
