Can a Duck Fertilize a Chicken Egg?

I’m pretty sure the answer is no, but they sure will try!

When I showed this video to some friends they made the joke that this is the first step in a popular seasonal recipe: “How to make Turducken: Step 1” … Now that’s funny right there!

Top 10 Things City Folk Don’t Know About Chickens

If you’ve read my blog or watched my videos you know I haven’t been “country” for very long. I’m still learning as I go, but I find it interesting some of the things I used to think. I’m reminded of some of these things as I talk to friends who still live in the city.

This makes me want to highlight some of the misconceptions that city folk have about chickens. I’ve had a few good laughs about some of this.

Chicken Watering Solutions!

Here’s the video.
