You sent the eggs, amazing packaging, even with the usps handling only 1 was beoken. My incubator fan malfunctioned and caused 108+ degree temps, so I lost them all. I will be buying again!

You probably won't be able to get the honey, if they moved into the tree. But they will pollinate your flowers, and if you have a garden it will likely do better than in previous years as long as you have adequate water. As for aggressive, all colonies are different. I have traditional...

The hive I lost had a traditional wood top covered in tin. There were signs on the top that it must have had imperfect corners that allowed water to seep in. The one that survived had a plastic composite top that did not allow moisture to come through the top. I live in NC, so we don't get...

I love these old pictures. I was ... 3rd grade, maybe 9 or 10? ... When we got our first chickens. Didn't have them as an adult until six or seven years ago, and wouldn't be without them again. Been away from BYC for a while, but very glad to find your story. Thank you for sharing.

That's great! This is my third year of keeping bees, they are fascinating. I only had two colonies, we lost one over the winter (most likely due to moisture issues) but the other is strong and I may split it in another week or two, when it warms up enough to get into the hive again.

Want some - sending you a pm

I definitely want some. PM sent!

By that age, they should hang around. Mine roost in trees and patrol about 6 acres - but they know where home is. My Guineas rule the yard, the roosters are afraid of them.

Looking for heritage Barred Rocks, Marans, and/or Rhode Island Reds. I can pick up anywhere off the I-85 corridor from richmond, VA to Atlanta, GA. Would rather have young pullets, but also would purchase hens under 2 years, and young RIR cockerel/rooster with RIR hens. Thank you!

Spook, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your lovely wife. You were both truly blessed with each other. One day at a time, lean on those who are there for you - you are not alone. My thoughts are with you.

I'm so excited - I have put a deposit down on two nuc's, and should get them towards the end of next month. Last year, I took a bee-keeping course from my local bee-keepers association, and bought two packages of bees. One promptly absconded - no where to be found after a couple of days. The...

My paid, full-time job is regional operations manager for a multi-family service company, my division renovates and upgrades the interiors of apartment complexes. My part-time job is administrative support for my husband's construction contracting business. We currently have two roosters...

I just got my eggs today, they arrived in perfect shape and I got 15 - Thanks, Fred! I am really excited about hatching chicks from these eggs. I've been looking for quality Barred Rocks and they rarely come up. Thanks again!

PM sent!

I just got my eggs today - first, I have to say what an awesome packing job! I had a poor experience previously buying hatching eggs, where the shipper didn't take half the care you did. Each egg was separately wrapped in layers of bubble wrap, securely taped. There was bubble wrap inside the...

Just saw this in the Charlotte, NC Craigslist... Female English bulldog for adoption (READ EVERYTHING!!) (Charlotte, NC) I am looking for a new home for Sophie, a 5-year-old English bulldog I recently--and unofficially--adopted from friends in Maryland who were evicted from their house...

Bless you, and your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Great news, I've been hoping and praying for their safety.

Oh, my - I have certainly gotten that attitude. What's funny is that I've worked in construction for over 20 years, and before that I worked in an auto repair shop for 5 years. So I know how to look up my own parts, which saves me returns at the auto parts store - yes, I've gotten parts handed...

Well, my thought is WE are animal protein, LOL. I don't agree with his opinion, but I'm not a vegan, either. I've grown up around farm animals most all my life, and know than every species I've ever had can get cancer. But what he believes, and how he eats, doesn't affect me. It does make it...
