Nothing brands the memory more like fresh blood on white snow.  A few months ago my friend (and fellow blogger here) discovered his favorite rooster dead.  At first, the death appeared to be from natural causes.  Jorge’s lifeless body [...]

You know what they say about early birds!
We set eggs three weeks ago tomorrow evening, but already two little chicks have hatched and many more are on their way.  One was even already dried off by the time I came home.  Fortunately, a second hatched in the evening, so they can keep each other company [...]

Ezekiel the rooster has been bad.  As with many roosters, Ezekiel has taken to attacking everything that he feels is a threat to his harem of hens.  Although he rarely hurts a person in his attacks, it is a startling experience to have a large bird flying at you with his claws.  Humans are normally [...]

The new rooster has been given a name, Ezekiel.  It seems to suit him well.  He is no Jorge by any means; he crows a lot and loudly, he is mean to me and the pigs, and he has brought the hens under his dominance.  In my experience, when I introduce a new rooster, it [...]

Although the snow is falling here once again, I thought that people were getting sick of snow pictures and articles.  But not to worry, I am sure plenty more will come given how this winter has gone!
Here at Piscataway Acres we have had a number of eggs laid and hatched.  Although I raise about 100 [...]

After the DC area got hit with another massive snow storm, my mind turned to the upcoming spring and summer.  Despite what the groundhog says, spring is fast approaching.  Soon the crocus will bloom, then the daffodils and hyacinths, the garden will be planted, chicks will hatch, and the warmth will return.
It is hard to [...]

For the last week, the weathermen have been calling for a “major snowstorm”.  For us in the DC area, a major storm is anything above 3 inches.  However, I would say that this looks to be a major storm anywhere.  We are expecting 24 inches of snow within the next 24 hours.  This picture was [...]

From a previous post, I described how Jorge the rooster died defending the flock from a vicous predetor.  I have now found and aqcuired a new rooster.  The new rooster (name not yet given) is from Twin Oak Farm in Catlett, VA.  I was impressed with how clean and healthy everything was at this farm.
The [...]

Late last night the snow started.  It was a very wet snow, thus, it stuck to everything making for a very beautiful morning.  We got about 4 inches.  I also noticed several tracks in the fresh snow all over the yard.  I think that between the death of Jorge and the high number of wild animal [...]

Jorge, my pure-bred Araucana rooster, has passed away.  The night before I was not able to shut the chickens into their coop until a little later than normal.  When I did get the chance to close the coop door, I noticed a trail in the fresh snow of footprints leading away from the coop and [...]
