Hi everyone. I hope all's well. My firstborn graduated middle school. He had me busy with concerts (he's in the eighth grade chorus), ceremonies, and such. I can't believe he's heading to high school already. I don't know where the time went. I had a really nice time at chickenstock and I...

HI!!!! I'm in Queens!

Hi! some people have dogs to protect their free ranging chickens. Maybe when they are outside of their new run (supposing you take others' suggestions to let them out when you're able to supervise them), maybe your dog can help you protect them. Unless, of course, they need protection from him!:D

Hello, everyone! It's been a while. I know, i've been slacking. How's everyone doing? I read a few of the previous pages to attempt to see what's been happening recently. Gramma, I'm sorry to hear about Cowboy, and Rancher, I'm so very, very sorry about your wife's condition. Cancer is...

Too bad about stinky, gramma. I suppose he needs a little tlc. Maybe some time away from the bullies so he could eat more and get stronger.

Welcome to the thread, bantie! My chickens did not enjoy the snow.

Thanks for the responses, purple iris and baunlee. I'll definitely look that up.

I like coloring myself, when I find some time before bed. I've been coloring the same complicated design for the past six months! A few minutes at a time. But I skipped a few weeks here and there. I saw a nice one with cats. So I have two chickens that had leg mites. At least, I hope it's...

Happy birthday, Pyxis!!

So sorry to hear about your chickens, Sally! That's terrible! And to have it happen so suddenly without any prior signs. You must be so upset. Hardware cloth sounds like a good idea. I hope you catch the perpetrator soon.

Lol, no yelling here. It would be crueler to confine them indefinitely in a tiny space

That's just terrible about the outbreak. And all those cooped up chickens! I'm sure not everyone has the kind of coops that you can lock your chickens up 24/7 and they'd be comfortable indefinitely.

so jealous right now. i will look for danvers half longs in the spring. i tried growing broccoli and cabbage last spring from a couple of six pack plants i bought on a whim. it didnt work out well either. the broccoli heads got to half the size of my fist, and while i was waiting for them to...

just started using my laptop for this site. the first thing i looked for was the moving icons

I didn't think it was compacted. It's where we throw the critter poop and bedding throughout the winter, and it was dug up by rabbits and chickens and smoothed over by DH in the spring. Everything else grew great. Maybe the soil was too rich?

I planted carrots last year, and I pulled them out yesterday. The biggest one was the length of my middle finger. The others varied in size, the smallest was less than half of my pinkie. Same thing happened last year. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds like you're ready. Did you have any luck getting more? I don't suppose they'd be in plentiful supply now. Most People have already gotten rid of theirs.

Lol @ drop spot. Watch when you wake up some mornings you might see flocks of roosters running around your front yard. Now you might have to make a new coop/ pen for these bachelors to stay in until you get them sold. Never had duck burgers, beer can. That sounds like it might be really...

Yes, the Muscovy is awesome, I think. It's mostly what we use. There's Long Island duck available here, but not so good, I don't think.

We had a lovely partly sunny day today with only a light wind. About 50 degrees. DH cleaned out the chicken pen and put down straw in the run, which had become a muddy, poopy mess, and I took the girls for a few hours to my moms yard. Gramma, he feeds them in the morning when he opens up the...
