You rang? ;) Good morning, my dear! Sorry I have been MIA for so long. All is well here. I was just thinking this week I should check in on my Indiana BYC friends and see how everyone weathered the snow. I'm so glad for a melt! All my chickens and guineas are well. No complaints here! Re...

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully anyone reading this will be sure to check their coops after dark.

Hi, all. Hope everyone is having a good summer. We have been up to our ears with life, as usual. Today at the KY State Fair, hubby informed me we "need" buff laced polish hens. How funny is that? I'd asked him in the past when ordering, and he had no interest, but he was quite taken with...

Oh, no. I'm so sorry you are going through that!

Sorry for your loss, and for your husband's. That is tough. This rain is so tough. I added some barn lime to my run. Hoping for wood chips, too. I have some pine flakes but would love something more substantial. Gorgeous! I'm not the one you asked the q. of, but when I spoke to the tree guy...

PS The barn lime helped immensely.

Well, that's my hope when they're here for the REMC. If I can't get them to dump the chips they're making right here in my woods, then I give up!

Thanks, Leahs I have actually asked more than one tree service and haven't had any luck yet. Spent a good deal of time this week talking with the tree service contracted by the REMC to trim trees on our property. He swore up and down he would dump me a load of wood chips at the bottom of my...

Y'all, Thelma has hatched keets, and they are adorable! So far we are up to five. She's still on the nest so I assume there are more coming. The oldest is 3 days old, then there were four that hatched yesterday. I don't know if it is normal for it to take so long to hatch everyone, but she is...

With all this rain...my run smells like a pig pen. Last night I used a ton of barn lime on it. I bought it months ago and had it on hand. Probably going to take another pass at it today. I really wish it would stop raining so hubs could mow the yard. I would love to put the grass clippings in...

I see...a thirst for adventure, then, huh? I looked on FB to see if there are any fossil groups. Didn't find any, but I did find this map and this bit of info. Good luck and don't get murdered!

It's not letting me quote you re: fossils, but I would recommend the Falls of the Ohio next time you swing through Louisville. It's just off the Kennedy bridge (65), so not too far off 64 once you cross into KY. You just cross, then cross back to IN. Or there are alternate routes if you...

I will say that I had a hanging strawberry plant that did well. First time I ever had a strawberry survive! I am tempted to plant it in the boxes around my coop, but the girls would just destroy it. Hrm...where to plant, where to plant. If I put it in the front it will be devoured by squirrels...

That is a lucky break re: the apples. We have a walnut tree that drops nuts all over our coop. I think apples would be less work for the girls!

1.8 million birds.

One of my plants is growing. The other is barely growing. The third got broken by a dog. If they produce any tomatoes I will be thrilled! The little currant tomatoes look lovely! I love that backstory! People were complaining about the price of eggs at the store this weekend. I didn't realize...

Have you all seen this? I'm signing up: Chicken Behaviour and Welfare This course explains the general principles of chicken behaviour and welfare, and the behavioural and physiological indicators that can be used to assess welfare in chickens kept in hobby flocks through to commercial farms...

Thanks for the tea & sympathy. This is the universe's way of telling me I have permission to buy hatching eggs to put under a broody.

Thank you! I needed that!

I will either do that in the future, or I will just hatch my own, and deal with what I get. I am fine dealing with what I get--I am not fine arguing with people on the phone or email. That stresses me out to no end! If you screw up, just fix it, you know? I have not made a big deal about any of...
