Jockey Quotes
MARTIN GARCIA, COIL, Winner: "This was his first time going a distance and I expected a little bit more speed than that, but those other two horses didn't go fast. My plan was to take him a little bit back to see if he could relax, and he relaxed, but it was so slow and he has such a long stride that I didn't want to fight him. I saw a big hole open on the backstretch so I just let him go. But he was doing everything on his own. When I got to the top of the stretch I asked him and he just took off. When he was by himself, he started looking around, like he doesn't know what to do. At the wire, he just put on the brakes. He's a really nice horse."
VICTOR ESPINOZA, RUNFLATOUT, Second: "He's a nice horse and he's improving. The more races he runs, he's just going to get better. Today he showed he can go the distance. He was nice and relaxed all the way around."
Trainer Quotes
BOB BAFFERT, COIL, Winner: "I wished I could have reversed posts with the other horse (Awesome Patriot). He (Martin Garcia) said he couldn't hold him, they were going so slow. He was still pretty green when he made the lead and coming down to the wire. I was hoping to get a good Point Given. He's just getting better and better. I was pretty impressed today with him, what he did and the way he did it. He's still learning how to run. I was actually going to run him seven furlongs today at Belmont (the $250,000 Woody Stephens), but I changed my mind. I wanted to run him two turns to see how he'd handle it. I thought the other one (Awesome Patriot) would put up more of a fight, but he got a little hot going to the gate. I don't know what's next yet. We could either run in the Dwyer, the Swaps or the Haskell. But the Haskell's the main goal.
JOHN SADLER, RUNFLATOUT, Second: "It was a good race for him. He rated nice in third and ran a good second. He didn't have an excuse, the winner was a little better today, but I thought he ran really well."
Notes: Baffert won the 2006 Affirmed with Point Determined, another son of Point Given…The $150,000 Dwyer will be run July 2 at Belmont Park, the $150,000 Swaps Stakes is July 9 at Hollywood Park and the $1 million Haskell Invitational will be run July 31 at Monmouth Park.

Most-spoiling Tuscan getaway in the Maremma hills
the gorgeous setting in the colourful Maremma countryside and the exquisite, elegant furnishings.
From the moment you turn into L'Andana's cypress and
pine-tree lined driveway, you know you're in for a treat. Set on
the Tenuta La Badiola estate spanning 1,200 acres of vineyards,
olive groves and parkland in the undulating Maremma hills, this
19th-century Tuscan villa is a hideaway in every sense (switch on
your sat-nav!). The warm pastel façade is the perfect foil for the
richly decorated interiors lavished with gilt mirrors, cowhide
sofas, antique furniture and silk drapes. The 33 rooms are split
between the original lodge and a new wing, both equally spectacular
with rustic-luxe décor, oak floors, stone fireplaces, chaise
longues and objets d'art. The view from the epic (80m2) Prestige
Suite, looking out across the vine-clad countryside to the
Tyrrhenian Sea beyond, is the kind you don't easily forget. Neither
is the fine breakfast spread served at the casual La Villa
restaurant (Cinta Senese ham, orange flower brioche). Gourmands
love L'Andana. This is home to Alain Ducasse's only restaurant in
Italy, (he is also co-owner of the hotel) Trattoria Toscana,
recipient of a Michelin Star in 2007 whose seasonal dishes are
inspired by Tuscan traditions. The estate is also home to a superb
vaulted ESPA, a sun-drenched pool, golf course, wine cellar and
chapel. And when the sea beckons, the gorgeous Maremma coast is
just a few kilometres away.
Condé Nast Johansens Best Countryside Hotel 2014
Deep in the Tuscan countryside on the cypress-fringed
estate of La Badiola, is L'Andana. A rustic yet elegant retreat
with honey-coloured walls and sun drenched terraces, this peaceful
escape is an original Medici villa - the summer sojourn for Leopold
II of Lorraine, Great Duke of Tuscany. Brought back to life by chef
and hotelier Alain Ducasse, L'Andana is understated luxury at its
best with Florentine silks fluttering in the pine scented breeze
and stone fireplaces cracking in the hotel's bedrooms and suites.
Making the most of the area's natural treasures, La Villa
restaurant's dishes sing with Mediterranean flavour, while
L'Andana's indulgent spa benefits from its bucolic setting. A slate
floored refuge of tranquillity with a mineral water pool, Turkish
bath and invigorating ESPA treatments, the spa practices a holistic
approach to well-being. Its ethos is based on health by nature with
a strict eco-friendly policy. This means that no products tested on
animals are used within its treatments, local materials are
utilised whenever possible and water is collected from the nearby
sea or natural springs. Aromatherapy, thalossotherapy and
phytotherapy are just some of the therapies on offer but it's
perhaps the unique Gourmand Spa's delicate desserts and herbal teas
that will have you returning time and again.
The unique Alain Ducasse restaurant in Italy, is a sort of contemporary hostelry, a simple meeting place, where genuine specialties of Tuscan tradition are served. Take the chance to taste Alain Ducasse's cousine and overnight at L'Andana, it is just one night but it will regenerate both your body and your soul!
The Fine Dining proposal includes:
- one night stay in Deluxe double room
- Tuscan buffet breakfast
- a three-course dinner for two persons made by the Chef Alain Ducasse, with a selection of Tenuta la Badiola wines included
- Complementary use of the outdoor pool
- Daily access at the ESPA wellness centre :vitality swimming pool with sea salt, water massage and waterfalls, indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room with aromatherapy and chromotherapy, gym equipped with Technogym
Valid from 15 Apr 2014 to 2 Nov 2014
-two nights in Deluxe Room
-daily Tuscan buffet breakfast
-one 3- course dinner for two (wines excluded).
-1 ESPA treatment per person (choice between: intensive facial, back treatment, body wrap or body massage)

Poor quality materials for this shirt
By Tak
from Hotland, AZ
About Me Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical
Best Uses
Comments about this product:
I purchased several of the Warehouse 13 shirts. I purchased a "telegraph" shirt years ago that was made of a much higher quality cotton and heavier shirt material.The new shirts I received (Compass and Spoon) were thin, lightweight, poor quality materials that had miniature holes in the shirt at many spots within 60 days of use.I can't recommend these shirts unless it is guaranteed to be in the original heavy black cotton, otherwise save your money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Corsets most often give women an hour glass shape as they are made very tight fitted. They flatter the body and your curves accentuating your body and your form. They are mostly made of steel boning for that hourglass finish. In the old days corsets were made of Whale bone but as the years went on designers were able to come up with the new ways of maintaining the steel boned corsets but with using other range of improvisations. Most corsets come in an array of fabric and design, such as silk, satin, brocade which is very popular, faux leather or real leather which is a bit higher in price.
Corset Designers design corsets in many different colors and shapes. The fabric is something to keep in mind and therefore is purchased from high quality suppliers for sleek elegant corsets. As the main attraction of a corset is providing women with an hour glass shape this is something many designers keep in mind as they venture off creating a new design. Keeping in mind that the back support always remains. Leather corsets have become increasingly popular as well as pleather or faux leather. They are now being designed in so many ways making it ever so appealing. Designers keep in mind the wants and needs of women thus creating delicate, exotic and stunning designed corsets.
When working on a corset designers use flexible material for comfort but add boning for that stiff hour glass shaping. They are also called ribs and are embedded inside the rims of the corset for that final finish. More commonly now seen is steel and plastic which have become increasingly popular amongst corset designers and online corset stores. Ivory and wood can be used as well. Steel is more commonly used for high end corsets.
When it comes to corsets there are the modern to ancestry Victorian type. There are many ways to go about when designing a corset. Sophisticated, traditional high quality is a great way to venture off to. Corsets need subtle beauty but unbelievable comfortability. You want to be in that corset for hours on end not scared of that stiff uncomfortable vibe. With this is mind designers pick out the finest material and boning for extreme comfort wear.
Some corset designers also make corsets that are used on prom dresses, gowns, wedding gowns and so on. These corsets have specific needs and dimensions catering to the need of the client or clients. For example a wedding gown top corset needs to shine and dazzle as opposed to a clubwear corset which is more silky based and sexy.
Many corsets today have a slight Victorian touch but more modernized. The designers try to embellish a way to incorporate the two together relating to the ever evolving corset. Today's corsets can be worn under garment or above the bust for casual wear. They can be worn outdoor or for a night out with a pair of jeans and high heel. Whatever the case may be designers are always on the mark for creating what women want and crave.

Real Life Backyard Chicken Advice from Experienced Chicken Owners
So you're thinking about getting some chickens. You've eyed a spot in your backyard, been poring over chicken books and perusing chicken breeds online to find your favorite one. You might think you're ready (or maybe you're still on the fence), but whatever step you're on, you could probably use some advice from real "parents" who have been through it!
Angel Schatz and Dusan Kwiatkowski are neighbors on Austin's East Side where we visited them to meet their chickens and see their coops. (Dusan built his from reclaimed wood, Angel got hers from a friend who wasn't using it anymore.) Dusan and his wife Maegan have been chicken owners for almost four years and Angel's been raising chickens for over a year.
If you've been thinking about raising chickens, first do your research. Favorite online sites of Angel and Dusan are Backyard Chickens and My Pet Chicken. We asked Angel, Dusan and Maegan to share a few insider tips that beginners to raising chickens should know (and that they wish they had known when they first started):
Before you get a single chicken
• Have a secure area. Dusan explains that chickens don't really have any safety instincts and it's your duty to protect them. Angel's netted her entire chicken area to discourage any adventurers.
• There are nearly 60 different breeds of chickens out there so do the research to find a breed that fits your needs and your area's weather. "A chicken breed to fit your need" is a good place to start. For an intense chart breakdown check out "Henderson's Handy-Dandy Chicken Chart."
• Know your city codes and neighborhood association rules.
• Chickens like to be high, and you can build your own luxurious coop if you build up. Just don't build only for the chickens; build (or buy) a coop that you can easily get in to clean and get eggs.
• Decide if you want to start with babies or mature adults. Babies are very needy (lots of water and warm light) but allow you to bond with them. (It's also not always a guarantee you're going to end up with a hen if you buy them as babies.) Adults are ready to go, but it might be more difficult to establish a connection with them.
Never would have thought of
• Chickens aren't like mammal pets. Angel and Dusan both say their chickens make them happy, but the connection with them isn't the same as it might be with a cat or a dog.
• Maegan suggests finding your nearest feed store and familiarizing yourself with all the chicken stuff so when an emergency arises you know what's available.
• Keep in mind eggs won't always be a guarantee; chickens respond differently to daylight, temperature, stress and age.
• Have a back up plan — what you'll do/who you'll give the chickens to if you ever move — before you invest any time or money.
Bottom line
• Raising chickens takes an adventurous, curious, kind spirit. It's a lot like real parenting — you can read up beforehand, but you won't really know how it is until you dive in. You'll have to be prepared for unforeseen issues but you'll also discover unexpected benefits. And watch out: raising chickens can become a totally engrossing obsession if you're not careful!

I've always dreamed of having chickens! But -- getting chicken sitters when you go on vacation? Wish we had family nearby that we could ask... Oops! My 8 year old is always correcting me -- they're not chickens, they're HENS! (most cities do not allow roosters)
My husband talked me into getting a flock last spring. It has been so much more fun than I ever expected! We raised them from babies and the chickens seem comfortable with us. They have quite a personality! We built them a coop that attaches to a chicken run that is also netted on top, with thick wire around the sides. The chickens also have access to our netted vegetable garden once the plants are done in the fall. The chickens did a nice job of turning all the soil over and fertilizing the ground.
The eggs are amazing! We've been able to get chicken sitters with the promise of fresh eggs.
If I ever own a home with a backyard, one of the first things I want to do is try to get a couple of chickens!!
I just came back from a visit to the in-laws. They have a small acreage and raise chickens. It's so much work! Aside from all the work of taking care of the chickens, you have to collect and wash the eggs every day. Then you feel obligated to eat eggs every day. I don't know about you guys, but eggs for breakfast everyday is a bit too much. They have 10 hens, so that's roughly 10 eggs a day. That's WAY too much for just two people.
VIEWPOINT FROM A NON-CHICKEN OWNER: My brother and sister-in-law raise chickens, and unless you are planning to truly keep them as pets, I can tell you this:
If you think of yourself as "parents" or chickens raised for eggs as "pets," you are NOT ready to have chickens. When chicks are shipped to you, they often die in the process; any number of things can kill chickens, including things like the dog you already have; they're livestock, raised for food (whether eggs or meat). You will have to make tough decisions. It is definitely not for folks like me who are total softies.
Also, they poop pretty much constantly and their coops are basically incredibly gross.
When we bought our house, one of our neighbours had chickens. At first we thought - great! How cool!
But then summer came and with it - the smell.
It was awful. Clearly the owners didn't treat them very well - they fed them garbage - leftover french fries and hamburgers from a snack bar one of them worked at - so it was pretty disgusting and the smell from their yard was terrible. Obviously a lot of people are responsible owners but these people clearly just didn't care. I guess my point is - consider your neighbours!
I've kept between 3-4 backyard hens for over a decade, and I'd ad these tips:
Buy your chickens from a feed store or place that sells baby chicks, because you can see what you're getting.
Don't try to hatch eggs.
Don't adopt someone else's hens unless you don't want eggs.
Be careful you don't get CornishxRock or Cornish Rock's, they are bred specifically for meat and can't walk and have heart attacks when they get old enough, sad but true.
Don't forget to read up on and follow all the basic requirements of raising baby chicks, they need to be very warm at first, drink warm water, and stay dry.
Everything eats a chicken (except oddly enough my own cats, they figured out pretty fast the chickens were part of the family and never bother them) -so at night keep them locked up and anyway see the websites for good chicken housing and details. In the day you can let them out into a fenced yard with few problems if you clip the feathers on one wing because it unbalances their flight.
Chicken poop is like gold when it comes to gardening. Even old chickens poo and they eat a lot less than a laying hen.
No matter what insect/mollusk etc is tormenting your garden, not to mention snakes and scorpions, the chickens will make it go away if you let them. Priceless.
Bantams are a great alternative to full sized birds IF you can get 100% female chicks, it's hard to tell when they are tiny, so buy them as 'pullets' -teenage female chicks. Some bantams lay pretty well regardless of their small size, and they are really really cute.
Do your research, although chickens are to an extent individuals you can hedge your bets by picking the right breeds. The old timey layers and 'dual purpose' breeds almost always have the least problems and perform the best.
Chickens can make nice pets but I'd suggest picking one chicken as your favorite and having a working relationship with the rest.
If in doubt get Plymouth Rocks.
This has become quite a fad in my town, and no one seems to do much research beforehand. City law doesn't allow roosters, and when new chicken farmers find out they have one, they tend to 'liberate' them somewhere near a park. A few roosters have taken to hanging around a downtown retail area and so we have passionate defenders of rooster rights and others that see them as a nuisance and health hazard. I have seen and of course, heard, one that is living in an empty lot near my house. My family likes him, but this is becoming crazy. And no, nothing bothers a rooster, they can take care of themselves.
Those are great looking Polish! I can't wait to get some...
Oh boy, someone needs to dispel some of the ridiculous things being said here. Firstly, go ahead and try to hatch eggs. While there is a learning curve, it is incredibly rewarding to put some eggs in an incubator, and having the family sit around 21 days later and watch them hatch, fully formed. Had I not done it myself I doubt it would have been possible for something like that to happen so quickly.
Also, there is nothing wrong with adopting a hen from someone else. Why someone would say you won't get eggs is beyond me. Many people hatch out their own eggs, or their living condition changes and they have to get rid of chickens. Unless it's an old hen, chances are, you'll get eggs. Sometimes, the move can stop a hen from laying, but it's temporary. Once they are comfortable and happy, they will begin to lay again. Go this route if you want eggs in less than 5 or 6 months, which is the average time from hatch to lay.
The smell...almost all chicken poop does not smell, unless it gets wet. If they are being fed a proper diet, and the owner is willing to do even minimal upkeep when it comes to the coop, there shouldn't be any problems.
Chickens are NOT a lot of work, once you have your coop and run. Give them fresh water and feed, and don't let the coop get out of control (I clean mine out completely twice yearly only), and that's it. The rest of it is pure joy.
10 eggs a day might be too much for 2 people, unless you sell the extras! That little extra money selling a few dozen to neighbors or co-workers will almost eliminate your feed bill!
And finally (only because I have a life), the idea that chickens can not be pets is just ridiculous. We have a dog, and 30+ chickens. They are all our babies. Several times per week, the whole family will sit outside for hours, watch the chickens and chat. Some breeds are so gentle and love human contact that they will jump on your lap and roost for an hour while you pet them. I walk out my door and they come running to say hello, and "bok" for treats. My rooster gets on the porch railing, and crows for me to come and spend time out there. And to top it off, they feed our family of 5.
I'm sorry to be blunt, and don't wish to offend anyone. But there is so much false information out there about backyard flocks. Just remember to check your local laws. Roosters can be offensive if you have very close neighbors. Though sometimes, you can bribe them with free eggs. Do your research....read up on chicken ownership, and make the right decisions for you and your family, and the flock you want to own.
Thanks for clearing those things up, ChickenDude68. I've only had chickens for a year now but I completely agree with you. I will say that we haven't tried incubating our own eggs yet but we're hoping to next year.
We have four hens, eleven chicks and four ducks (we live outside city limits so there's no ordinances). They're not difficult, time-consuming or smelly. Once I noticed a foul odor in the coop so I started putting a little raw apple cider vinegar in the hens' water and gave them plain, good-quality yogurt once a day. This helped build good bacteria in their guts and the smell went away. I also make sure to muss up the bedding for a few seconds most mornings. If you have a roost in the coop there will be a concentration of feces underneath it, so make sure you break up any compaction there and add pine shavings to keep the smell down.
We do feed them table scraps (as long and there's no chicken protein in it), but we are sure to only give them what they'll consume in one sitting. If you just throw a pile of burgers and fries out there, a couple of chickens aren't going to clean it up quickly so it will rot. Chickens also won't eat most food that's become wet or is starting to go bad.
We have had 5 hens at a time (we're down to one now, and probably won't start a new flock until after she passes). They are incredibly easy to take care of. As long as they have food (good, organic food is best) and water, they're pretty much good to go. Some breeds lay more regularly and some don't. Most breeds have had their natural instinct to sit on a nest and hatch eggs bred out of them, but some still have it, and that's a good way to hatch new chicks. We had a little bantam cochin and she would go broody for months at a time, never leaving the nest, trying to hatch eggs. She'd try to hatch a rock if we put it under her. The coop never smells bad if you clean it regularly (which you want to do for health reasons), and neighbors love getting fresh eggs.
It is a very pleasant and calming experience having chickens, watching them peck around. Like any new endeavor, it is best to study up on the basics first.
Remember one thing though - eventually the girls will stop laying. What will you do with them then? We will never eat our birds, and they live out their lives in comfort in our back yard, but it's something to keep in mind.
One more thing - be very sure your coop is secure and safe. Chain link is not secure fencing, as critters can squeeze through the holes. Chicken wire should be used and a trench dug to make sure it goes under the coop (to stop critters from digging under). Your girls are defenseless if something gets in there.
One thing to remember is if you have dogs, never leave the dog alone with the chickens until you are certain the dog will not harm them. This may take months of working with the dog, slowly introducing them. Remember a dog's instinct is to kill chickens. I had friends who lost 9 chickens by leaving a dog alone in a confined space with a pen of chickens.
Dani @ ONNO Organic Clothing
I'm in the middle of building my coop right now - well the beginning I should say. I've been planning it (and the chickens) for about 2 years, since it became legal in Vancouver. There are a lot of myths in these comments, but of course I don't really feel like I should speak to them until I've kept my own flock. All I would say is pay attention to your bylaws, be considerate of you neighbours (offer them eggs!) and do your research to make sure you know what you're in for. I'd say that about dealing with any live animal - getting a pet, having a kid :) be prepared :)
I would love to have a couple chickens..............but unfortunately, I WOULD think of them as pets. Is that really a bad thing? Also, they might help w/ my backyard spider problem. (I don't really have a spider infestation, I just really hate spiders and spiders put in a crimp in my gardening hobby lol)
As for hatching or buying chicks.............what do you do if you get a rooster? :/ Roosters are not allowed in most urban settings I believe. I wouldn't want to kill one, and just setting them free is unethical and illegal at best, so what do you do? (send them to a farm in the countryside?)
Great comments for the most part, but yes, there are many myths in here. My two cents from three years of research followed by three years of urban chicken tending:
- Chickens are awesome domestic animals, if (as others have said) you have done your research and are prepared. Like with a dog.
- Chickens, like dogs and babies, are great community-builders. We have 20+ folks in our network and neighborhood we met because of common chicken interests. Some have become my professional clients (unrelated to chickens).
- Chickens are not a fad and should not be brought to your home because they are "cool." They are pets and livestock. As such, anyone owning them should be prepared to care for them, know what health and illness look like, heal them if sick, and be willing to "put them down" (by yourself or by paying a vet) at the end of their lives. If you're not willing, don't get them. Like with a dog.
- If there is a problem, chickens, like all pets, are not the problem; bad pet owners are the problem. You are not anti-chicken if you don't like them in your 'hood; you're opposed to bad pet owners. If my chickens are loud, noisy or obnoxious, I'm the problem. Luckily in our town, all animal ordinances apply to chickens. You can have as many as you want (even roosters), but other residents can lodge a complaint if someone has noisy, smelly, or dangerous animals. Chicken owners (like dog owners) can only be fined if they have a complaint against them and don't do anything to solve the problem. They key is knowing your neighbors, and being a good pet owner. Just like with dogs.
- Don't get more than you need. For us, four hens provide 2x as many eggs as our two-person family needs during the high-production months, but that's how we keep our neighbors (and vacation chicken tenders) happy. Our cats and dog don't make the neighbors nearly as happy as the hens.
- If you want chickens to "cut down your grocery bill," don't get chickens. The cost of building their coop, feeding good-quality food, and yes, the cost of treating them when ill or euthanizing them when near the end (if you aren't willing to do it yourself) will far out-weigh the savings on eggs. That said, eggs are now our primary source of protein (not just for breakfast), and what a joy to know the full food chain is ten feet from our kitchen. Our cats and dog don't come close in "cost vs. value" in this regard (although they make up for it in snuggles).
- Even with good planning, yes, there will be times when you have too many eggs. Just like when planting a garden, you should expect to have excess, and know how to use, preserve, and gift the bounty of your chickens. The good news is, like with a productive garden, excess eggs give us an excuse to learn and try new things. Flips are great cocktails that delight friends. Boiled eggs are best with eggs that are 2-4 weeks old. Be prepared to be the person who always brings egg-based items to potlucks, find joy in baking, get excited about learning new drinks and dishes. And don't forget your local food bank, which usually needs fresh, local, organic proteins way more than canned goods.
- If you research, plan and build right, chickens are way less maintenance than dogs. Our four hens are nearly no work (check on them and collect eggs once a day, examine each one's health once a week, clean the coop every couple of weeks). But that's because we built the coop big enough to give them safety, sunshine, room to scratch about, and enough height to fly about now and again. They can free-range when we work in the garden, but otherwise, they are fine 24/7 in their roomy coop and run, completely safe from predators.
- Chickens, like cats, are way easier to leave on vacation than dogs. Our coop and setup is big enough that we can leave for two weeks, and we only need someone to pick up the eggs (and double-check that the food and water haven't run out). We know our neighbors (in part because everyone wants to stop and meet the hens), and there is no shortage of folks willing to volunteer in exchange for eggs.
- PS: Chickens are so cute and fun!
People beg to take care of my parent's (my ex-) chickens. When they go on vacation I take care of them and the neighborhood kids have already done the job before I get there. :)
If you have a lot of food and water containers, the only thing someone needs to do is let them out in the morning and in at night, and collecting the eggs. It takes maybe 10 minutes total.
I've had a lot of success getting laying hens from farms (call and ask), craigslist, and from buying pullets at feed stores. The only problem I've had was a raccoon getting in the coop and eating a bunch of them, so make sure everything is secure! It came in through a hole in the pigeon coop structure we built their coop into and ate through chicken wire to get to them. One of my old neighbors said that when his hens were old, he'd say goodbye, leave them out of the coop at night, and they'd disappear the next morning. (!)
Chicken wire is not a secure enclosure. Rats, raccoons and other predators can get through it. 1/4inch hardware cloth is much more secure, especially when buried a foot underground all around the coop. Raccoons have monkey hands, so all doors and hatches should have at least two latches. A little planning for Fort Knox goes a long way.
No offense to chickendude but the reason I said get chicks instead of eggs is the job of hatching them and having to buy an incubator is not a joy for everyone, not to mention you may end up with 50% roosters. Also female chicks at a feed store are sometimes under $2 apiece, pretty easy.
Also, I recommended not adopting grown hens because it can be difficult to tell how old that chicken is from the "Hen 4sale" sign at your local feed store. I've heard half a dozen stories from people new to chickens about how their adult chickens barely lay or don't lay at all. A chicken lives up to 15 years but their laying tapers off a lot after the first few years and they stop after about year 6-8. If you want a pet that's fine, if you want eggs it's a problem.
Also, roosters (Just adding more info) will drive you and your neighbors crazy. The often crow all day, and sometimes all night. Hens are noisy enough, don't push the issue by keeping a boy chicken. I personally hate having to 'harvest' a rooster or find a home (where he's probably just going to be eaten, lets face it), hence my worries about starting right in the first place with all-female chicks, I repeat, -chicks.
I have been casually reading up on chickens for about three years now, and now that my husband and I are finally on the brink of actually being able to buy a house, I am totally obsessed. I can't wait!
I've had chickens off and on since I was 6 years old. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my birds and they all end up with names. However, they're chickens, not dogs, not cats, chickens.
Believe people when they say "don't get attached." I've had birds that would follow me around like dogs--a momma fox cleaned out that batch in less than a day. Also, usually city codes only allow a half dozen birds or so. If each precious little "Nugget," "Fried," and "Red" gets to live the long natural life like all your other pets you will eventually have six old birds giving you two eggs a week. Or you could find homes for your old hens --and pass your non-egg laying hens on to somebody that doesn't know any better (why LUXLVN says not to adopt a hen).
JUST_KAZARI--look for a rooster on craigslist--there are tons and almost nobody wants them--except for the freezer. Even if people want roosters, you can only have so many or they'll fight and harass the hens too much.
I guess it depends on the area you live in. We have sold all but one of our "extra" roosters. The other, we decided to eat. I totally get that the decision to cull and eat a bird is not for everyone (though, it's certainly more healthy than the chicken you are getting at walmart). But we are planning on raising some meat birds towards the end of summer, and had to get that first one out of the way. Best chicken we ever tasted. Again, that's not for everyone. For everyone else, craigslist is your best bet. Also, check your local 4-H, as there are many farms that will take on extra birds, whether they are roosters or old hens that aren't laying anymore. Look for poultry clubs in your area on Facebook, or talk to your local extension office.
Dropping a roo off in the park is nothing but laziness. There are many options.
MILLISLIM, what you should do is offer the rooster/cockerel for free or cheap (less than what a fryer at Walmart would cost) and no questions asked. You are helping low income families eat when you give them cockerels and old hens.
I'll chime in. We have a dozen chickens. We've had them for about a year; got them as grown chickens from someone who couldn't keep them any more. They've all laid eggs. We started with 16, lost two to mysterious causes, lost two others to predators (one was our stupid dog). They're all Rhode Island Reds, pretty sociable as a group (though I wouldn't say snuggly), and look enough alike that we haven't named them or anything. We let them range only a couple times a week because, though our dog is secure every weekday, I don't want to have to harass the neighbors about their dogs all the time. Otherwise they're in a decent-sized coop with a run, with access to fresh air all the time. We're thinking of getting some chicks to expand the flock. From everything I've read about keeping chickens, it seems like there's a wide range of acceptable practice.
I say "no questions asked" because all too often on Craigslist I see ads for roosters saying something like, "he's nice, so not for butchering." If you don't want to know that your nice rooster will be dinner, don't ask why somebody wants your rooster you don't want.
Ditto everything that Mizinformation said. We've had 3 hens in the city for 3 years now, and it has been a great experience. I got day old hatchery stock, since they will guarantee the sex at something like 90% accuracy. If you want to further improve on those odds, you can get sex-link chickens, where males and females look distinctly different when they hatch. I drove to pick mine up from the hatchery, because I was worried about the safety of having my pets (yes, pets) shipped through the US Mail. We built them a spacious and secure enclosed coop and run, and (knock on wood) we have had no problem with either predators or illness. We let them outside in our fenced yard to roam if we are home to supervise, but otherwise they are in their coop/run safe and sound. We have large automatic feeders and waterers that I only have to refill about once a week, or less. Total care for the chickens is less than 5 minutes a day if necessary, although our kids adore them (especially my toddler) and will spend all day playing in the yard with them if given the chance. Their coop stays dry, so it does not smell at all as long as I give it a quick tidy every so often (maybe every other day in the heat/humidity of the summer, and much less often when it's cool). Our neighbors have all loved them, and we never have a problem finding a chicken sitter. We plan to keep the chickens as pets as long as they naturally live, so we built our coop large enough for 5-6 hens. The three we have provide a perfect amount of eggs for our family of 4. When their production slows down, we have room to add a few new young birds to supplement. That should keep us going until the older ones start to go, and then we will repeat the cycle.
And yes, they are WAY less work and trouble than our dogs. And the dogs don't give us breakfast.
I keep three hens in Brooklyn and have been having a wonderful time. My neighbors help watch them when we go on vacation and they are endlessly entertaining. It's wonderful to have eggs that you know precisely what they contain. No antibiotics, pesticides, etc. Just the occasional bugs, anything they can find growing in the yard, and of course organic chicken feed. Here's a video of mine this morning...
I have been raising chickens for over 15 years now I enjoy it to the fullest. I currently teach others how to as well at http://kernschickenfarm.com/. I really like the tips that Angel and Dusan shared. They are really helpful for newbies and I think my readers will think they are helpful as well.
First off - there is this amazing invention called SOAP and WATER. And cedar chips. Chickens need to be cleaned up after just like any other animal. Let your dog go poop in a small yard forever without picking it up and that will smell too. Chicken coops should NOT smell or be gross if they are cleaned out regularly and provided with fresh bedding. Keeping a small group of 6 in a yard of 40x40 is a minimum for me. Want to cut down the food bill for them, then they need to forage and eat bugs, worms and grasses/other growth. If you keep them in a tiny 6x6 area living in their feces with no fresh vegetation, yeah, they will smell. I think the problem is that people are lazy and don't want to clean and think they are plastic lawn ornaments. Also, the idea of having chickens for eggs shouldn't be limited to your household alone - I like the idea of community gardening and that includes SHARING with family and neighbors. You can sell them too. I give each of my dogs 1-2 eggs a day (boiled). Eggs are one of the most complete proteins there are, they aren't fed antibiotics and I know they live a good life while providing food for our whole family. I also like eggs in stir fry and for baking. The possibilities go well beyond just breakfast. I take a lot of pride in the beauty of my birds and well as how they live in harmony with our family. But yes, they are work, just like any other animal. They do need to be thought of as individuals - I've never had one that didn't lay contrary to chatter here, but some lay smaller eggs or less frequently. I am not a factory farm, so it's not a concern for me.
These Chicken 101 guide is very helpful especially to "newbies" like me. Interesting to know that chickens have no safety extincts, but I have this covered in my newly built coop. Instead of chicken wires, I used "hardware cloth" , the name is quite ironic because it is not made of cloth but made up of welded wire mesh, definitely more durable than chicken wires. To protect from predators who might dig into the floor of my coop, I buried the hardware cloth about 12inches under the ground and used it as an enclosure around the runway.
I love my 4 bantam chickens. I have had them since last Easter. I bought them at a pet store at a week old. I loved taking care of them. They were in my living room in a 10 gallon fish tank, then into a 20 gallon long and finally into a large wire small animal cage before they were moved outside at about 3-4 months old once it got warm outside. We converted a dog run into a pen for them by placing chicken wire all around the outside of the chain link and use thick tarps for the top.I placed bricks all around the outside,plus the run is in a small privacy fence yard. Inside the pen they have a home made hutch where they are locked up at night.They can scratch in the dirt and I place straw on the ground that they love to shuffle through.I also hung an old tire just for an extra thing to nest on. During they day they spend all there time out in the run. They are laying well,3 eggs a day. They love when I rake up all the leaves in the fenced area and let them out of the "coop" they will scratch and dig in the leaves. It is very funny to watch. If they stop laying and when they are old I don't care, they will still be my lovable family member's. I could watch them for hours and they keep me laughing all the time.
I need some advice. I just acquired a 2 year old Silkie yesterday. She is in terrible shape. I had to bathe her in dawn dish soap, rinse and rewash a second time just to get most but not all the "grim" off of her.She is much fluffier now, Her feathers? were plastered to her body. I kept her in a wire cage inside overnight and plan to do this for a couple weeks. She is very thin. I was told she is a good layer & mother but I can't imagine she is in any shape for either of these. What would be the next steps in improving her health, put weight on & what ever else you can recommend? She has no feathers on top of her head,she was being picked on but not removed from the others, her feet have just the shaft part of the feather and the shafts are very stiff and hard. What should I do with them? She also has some through out her body. I'm hoping with good food,water and TLC she improves. Thanks for any input and/or suggestions.

Cottage Suite
A two-bedroom, one bath suite with large family room and kitchenette comprise this family oriented unit. Many of the Carter kids have over the years rented this unit during the off season while attending college.

A large, covered porch with private parking help make this one Willow Glen's most flexible and convenient units.

BMC Racing Team's Cadel Evans and Ivan Santaromita successfully navigated their way through a soggy, crash-filled stage Friday at the Giro d'Italia to each climb further up the overall standings on the eve of the race's first individual time trial.
'A Crazy Final'
Evans finished sixth and climbed from 10th to sixth overall, 16 seconds back, while Santaromita is eighth, at 28 seconds. Benat Intxausti (Movistar Team) moved into the overall lead after several favorites hit the pavement during the 177-kilometer race, including former maglia rosa wearer Luca Paolini (Katusha). Last year's Tour de France winner, Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling), and 2010 Giro runner-up, Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team), also crashed and lost time while Evans and Santaromita finished in a group 67 seconds behind solo stage winner Adam Hansen (Lotto Belisol), who was part of an original six-man breakaway. Santaromita, who finished 25th, said like the rest of the BMC Racing Team, he was doing his best to help Evans. "It was a crazy final with slippery roads and it was full gas," he said. "On the descent, I tried to stay close to Cadel, but it was difficult. Fortunately, we didn't have any crashes."
Valuable Help For Evans
Evans credited his teammates for helping him get through a difficult stage. "It was a real test of our team and our equipment and the guys were really good," he said. "Daniel Oss was good at the start, monitoring the dangerous breakaways, and Danilo Wyss, Steve Morabito and Steve Cummings were always there to keep me out of trouble. Then Santaromita was there in the final in case something went wrong." Evans said he does not know what to expect out of Saturday's 55-km time trial. "It's a really long and really hard and demanding time trial and we really don't have a point of reference of how I am time trialing compared to the other guys," he said. "I will first of all concentrate on doing my best and, of course if I continue to move up on the general classification, that's optimal."
Lodewyck Withdraws
Klaas Lodewyck did not start the stage after suffering from a fever for two days, BMC Racing Team Dr. Giovanni Ruffini said. "He also had an infection in his throat," Dr. Ruffini said. Taylor Phinney, who had also been suffering from a fever earlier this week, said he is feeling better. But the runner-up in the world time trial championships last year said like Evans, he is not sure of how he will perform in the race against the clock. "I don't really know what to expect," Phinney said. "It's quite a long time trial and also quite a hilly time trial. But there are sections where I can excel in and put the power down on the flats. I don't really have huge expectations but I'm not limiting myself either."

I just got "Autobiographical Comics: life writing in pictures" by Elisabeth El Refaie, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University in the UK. It's an academic book that discusses the work of lots of different artists (including me). It's thrilling to be discussed alongside r.crumb, Marjane Satrapi, Joe Sacco, and Art Spiegelman. Coolest of all : it uses a drawing of mine from Everyday Matters as the cover art.
12 thoughts on "A new book"
Wow! How cool is that!?!?! Congrats.
Classic-er and classic-er ;-)
As the French say: ça roule pour toi! Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
OOOOO, Danny! This is way cool! Merry Christmas! What a marvelous recognition! Your work is a beacon of hope in this troubled world!
THat is an honor. Congratulations. The cover looks fantastic.
I recognized your art on the cover immediately! Happy for you!!
How fun, Danny! I recognized your drawing right away…Jack's tiny hands. Congratulations!
What a fabulous cover for what sounds to be a really interesting book. Well done you for getting included in it…. and some!!! I have just about every book you've been involved in or written and I love them all (A Kiss is on my christmas list). Unfortunately though I think this one will have to be ordered from the library….I live in the UK…. Amazon UK's price on it is almost £50 (about $90)…. a lot more than Amazon.com is selling it for. But I can wish can't I?
Congrats! What a special honor for you!
This thought occurs to me a couple of times a week…so I peek…."I wonder what Danny is doing?" That always makes me smile because we will probably never meet, and yet through your books and your blog you have touched my life. ~ Lynn

Nice speakers for the application needed. Good quality and rugged look for a SxS. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Decent Speakers, yet.. Written By Tom C, New York on Thursday, April 10, 2014 Have had these in the dash of my 97 Wrangler for almost a year, They are much better than the stock speakers and the adapters crutchfield provides are perfect. A+ on their part. Although at highway speeds with the top down and the doors off these speakers are not heard at all. For me I need more power and volume. I'm giving 4 stars because sound quality is good on these speakers and i have the 5.25's for the DRVN line and they produce a lot of volume. (For any other Jeeper I suggest looking up the adapters to convert your dash speakers to 5.25's I went with NalinMFG) Pros: Better than stock, Cool looks if you're using the guards. Cons: Not loud enough for my Jeep. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 JVC...got what i paid for Written By Josh, Michigan on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First things first,i didnt expect a whole lot out of these.20 watts rms isnt much,enough for a head unit to run them, plus their only 4inch.I purchased them because an advisor here on crutchfield said he liked them. If your looking for a speaker to replace an existing unit thats popping or rattling and do it cheaply,this is an option(although there are cheaper) OTHERWISE.if you have subs and are looking for clarity in your mids and highs this is not your speaker,mids are very flatt and the highs are peircingly sharp!Ive had sony's explodes sound better than these.My advise? break down and spend the extra money for the good ones(focals or alpines) like i ened up doing anyway.if you got the extra room and can do some mods go to a 6 1/2 speaker(much clearer) and get them amped with good clean power(always go by rms and it doesnt hurt to have a little extra power in the amp than the speakers need)ON A GOOD NOTE. Crutchfield's customer support and all their directions for installation are top notch,better than a youtube viedo in most cases. Pros: cheap,fit with no mods Cons: low power threshold,distorted at high volumes,not for high power systems. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Manhattan, Kansas rally for Bradley Manning
CODEPINK, Kansas and the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice together held a solidarity rally for Bradley Manning in Manhattan, Kansas on Friday, July 26. Blowing whistles, and holding signs that said, "Support Whistleblowers Support Bradley Manning," and "Bradley Manning aided the truth and nothing but the truth," we handed out information flyers to people going to attend the Kaw Valley Rodeo at the Riley County Fair. We had a mix of reactions from people that included some Fort Riley soldiers going to the rodeo that had never heard of Bradley Manning. And so we told them about our heroic whistleblower.
We took some pictures of course (attached).
