We are expecting

OK... Murbella and Leto my Nigerian Dwarf goats are expecting.  Took Murbella to the vet for an ultrasound and they confirms two heart beats.  There may even be a third.  Three kids is not uncommon for Nigerian Dwarf goats.





Expecting at the end of April.

Raising Chickens 101

I will be presenting a free seminar on raising and keeping chickens on Monday March 20th at Kentucky Horse Supply: 13010 Middletown Industrial Blvd, Middletown KY 40223.


The seminar will begin at 6:00pm and a light supper will be provided. Please RSVP by calling 502-254-3705 or email to info@kentuckyhourseupply.biz.


Come and learn why everyone should have a few chickens in their backyard.

Hungry Hungry Hungry - Cornish Rock Chicks have arrived.




Cornish Rocks are meat chickens and are nothing like raising egg layers.  They are designed to eat and eat and eat, so they can grow as fast as possible.  While it's a difficult process it is rewarding to know that not only can you provide your family with a full year's worth of chickens in just 9-10 weeks but you've also given these birds a better life, short as it is.


In only a few days they needed a bigger brooder, larger food and water containers just to get them through the day.  And they still attack the food dish like they are starving....even if there's food left.
