Farewell Blanche, you will be very missed around the world. Your joy in the little things in life, whenever you had the energy to do so, was an inspiration for us all. Manue - I know you will be feeling very sad and knowing you, probably guilty for something. But in my humble opinion you did...

I was wrong. My first iris came out today. Quickly followed by a friend. And the first daisies. I still think those in less protected areas are a couple of weeks away.

Mine are a few weeks away from flowering - and I think that is consistent with last year. The weather here has been very odd - we had a short hot-spell and now it is quite cold and a lot of rain. Mine are native irises and are quite tough so I am optimistic all will be well with them. I will...

Nice to see your irises are flowering.

Broody weighing turned out easier than I expected. Tassels just settled down and tried to hatch out some baby kitchen scales.

:hugs I am so glad she has you. 🥰

That last picture - Piou-piou - her face!! :love :love :love

It doesn’t sound like she is suffering if she nibbles and naps. When my time comes I hope it is exactly like that with some kind person to carry me out into the sun to warm my bones.

The English phrase "The way to hell is paved with good intentions" has a slightly different meaning - it is aimed as much at procrastinators as people who do something that turns out to be the wrong thing to do. I think it works for both. For future - do you have cornstarch in the house? It is...

Is that Merle in the picture with your partner? It is a cute picture. Made me smile. Mind you the heap of sheep manure made me smile too!

I think I posted here a while back that later in the year I have to take a long trip and I am nervous about the animals. I am particularly nervous about one cat who dislikes strangers so much that she will never be seen by the lady who will come to feed her. So this week, on a much shorter...

I loved the video of Merle. True dedication to the cause (of eating kale)!

A lovely tribute. Made me tear up. She really did have a good life with you. :hugs

So sorry Manue. Whenever I see your pictures I think what a wonderful thing it is to be one of your chickens. You gave that to Canelle. :hugs :hugs

:hugs :hugs You have been wonderful in your support of Canelle, and maybe now she is ready for a rest. Your description of your relationship with your first chickens is lovely and speaks straight to my own experience. I think I am now a bit more balanced, though I do still feel a lot of...

Poor Canelle - she is certainly looking miserable in that picture.

:hugs :love:hugs

Maybe once he is over their destruction of the tree graft!

I have been looking for the receipt for mine but can’t find it. However I do remember roughly. The solar energizer was about $100 - it included the solar panel and the battery but not connecting wire. A non-solar one was a lot cheaper but complicated in my set-up. You cannot really customize...

Babs has a different false laying profile. She often (about once a week but not on a rigid schedule) will wake up at 3am and walk down the ladder, across the coop and get into a nest box. Sometimes she stops for a snack on the way, but not always. She stays there for the rest of the night...
