    Wouldn't hurt to have two sweaters ... a backup for when your normal one is temporarily out of commission.

    I remember that .... It was eye-opening how the English sailors considered the Japanese "barbarians" but as you read the book and saw the sailors through the natives' eyes you got a completely different perspective in a lot of ways. Well ... except for the casual attitude toward human life, of...

    I learned recently (last week, I think, on CBS Sunday Morning) that they are no longer called that, as it's deemed sexist. The modern term is suffragists. Not all activists for women's equality were women.

    :eek: Glad you were there to protect the chickens and (hopefully!) educate the dog's owner.

    I do not have any ex-battery chickens, actually, although I do love following along with @Shadrach's journey of his experiences with his ... I do, however, have a lovely Golden retriever bitch, now spayed, that DH and I rescued by purchasing her from a breeder. (Here she was watching a...

    PS- I was very saddened to hear the fate of poor Matilda and her flockmates. I am glad they had a period of peace under your care, however. Thank you for giving them that.

    This is a good philosophy, Shadrach. No chicken has ever left our property to go to another owner and ... I don't know if any ever will. We've considered selling chicks but we're not there yet. We won't sell or rehome problem cockerels, though, for the reasons you've outlined here. We'll take...

    The whole area looks so nice and cultivated, @Shadrach! Your time and effort really shows. And the chickens all look good, too.

    A heaping 1/4 c of red pepper flakes? Is this one feeding, for how many chickens? And then how long does this set before you feed it? (I have not fermented feed before). Thanks. I have 26 chickens.

    Thanks for the reminder. Tax: This lovely lady wandered onto my friend's property. I'm trying to persuade her to let me add her to my flock, as she is contemplating getting rid of hers.

    I just asked my 22-yo GirlChild three questions and she got two of them right. Third planet from the sun? Earth (she said, laughing at me.) How many sides to an isoscles triangle? Yeah she got that right and looked me like I was crazy for asking. The one she missed was how many feet in a meter...

    Not sure what needs to be done, but probably something. We had a cockerel or rooster, I forget which, that was feather pulling on the head like that, and I didn't think it was serious until he scalped one of my girls. I isolated her until she healed, which she did, although I wasn't sure she...
