Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

[azurbanclucker]

I am trying to decide if I want to buy a handful of chicks, and have my life ended by raging family/chickens, or if I want to be content with the 9 chickens I already have.

Decisions, decisions...

More feed needed and more time commitment. If those are both no problem, then ignore the whines from the fam.

Happy death by chickens does sound pretty cool

Or you could just sneak them in and be like “yeah, I thought there were only 9 too. Chicken math I guess”

she has 2 roosters. Just say it's "nature doing the nature thing"

Using puppy pads in the brooder

Day 1: This is great. So glad I read about it here.

Day 2: WTF? How?

They are just so messy! At least I didn't see it with flakes. Their water has stayed good, there is that.

Yeah, filthy critters for sure.

I use a puppy pad under the goof ball pup's water bowl. It works great right there with the water bowl, but it sure doesn't keep him from dripping a trail from the water bowl for 10 feet or more.

Mine was making a mess too and I learned that trick. Funny enough after I put a puppy pad down he either cleaned up his act or those things are incredible.
I haven't noticed it or anything around it wet and 2 weeks later it's a little dirty but still looks great besides that.

So I had a pretty cool evening, my daughter got married. It was beautiful she sure was. The groom seems like a pretty cool dude. Especially considering what kind of fish are in the sea these days.

He has a quite a beard. It isn't as bad as long as I keep him trimmed up good around the mouth. So, I guess he can't help it, but I like to tell him it is all his fault, anyway.
