The Delaware Chicken Experiment Results

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Thursday September 17, 2009   -   By Emily

As promised, the results are in on our heritage chicken experiment!  Normally, our Cornish-Rock hybrid chickens are processed at 7 or 8 weeks of age, but our Delaware rooster was about 7 months old.  Because of this, we wanted a cooking method to...

Beware of "Free Range"

Blog: Miolea Organic Farm   -   Wednesday September 09, 2009   -   By Brian

Okay, maybe this is another rant against the industrial food complex, but I was brought up to stand up for what is right and not to sit back when someone was in trouble. My parents raised all of their kids to treat everyone...

Free-Range Skunk

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Tuesday July 21, 2009   -   By Chris

The hens are here! Hooray for AWESOME EGGS

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Thursday April 30, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

It was about 2 weeks ahead of what we thought, but as usual, Team Trautman got the job done and got the hens situated in the hen house. Some times it seems it's just as well for us to have it happen all of a sudden. Things get done. Eggs for the next two...

Chickens on pasture.

Blog: Foxhollow Poultry Farm   -   Monday April 27, 2009   -   By Tai

This weekend we put up the portable poultry netting in the rain. It was a simple process that took a minimum amount of time and made our chickens really happy. They didn't even care if it was drizzling rain, they just roamed around all day and enjoyed their...

Moo

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Tuesday March 31, 2009   -   By Chris

Chickens, Chickens, Everywhere

Blog: Bluewater Bay Bucking Bulls   -   Wednesday March 18, 2009   -   By Cowmomma

Today we have more open ground than snow covered turf and the chickens are out of the coop and back at work.  Reddy was out in the front pasture before it was even fully light this morning.  I don't think she trusts that the snow won't come back and...

Our Rooster, The "Terrorist"

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Monday December 01, 2008   -   By Laura

Our rooster is a terrorist.  Perhaps not in the context of America's War on Terror, but he sure terrorizes us!  His name is King Louis XIV, because he has a beautiful red comb like the rising sun, and King Louis XIV was called "The Sun...
