It's hard to see, but we put a hook in the bottom of the beam in the run side for the waterer to hang. I put it back just afr enough from where our door will be, so we won't have to climb in far. We plan on fermenting the chicken food, so I'll just put a pan of it in the run side in the...

It's really easy right now on the cement with the hard rubber lawn mower wheels on the heavy end. I haven't pulled it out onto the grass yet. It's raining here now, but I will try it soon.

Absolutely! Here in West Central Missouri we had a couple of days in the 60s. My daughter, older son and I jumped on the chance to keep working. We spent 4 hours one day and a couple the next to put two coats of paint on the tractor, build the nesting boxes, add wheels and a pull rope, and add...

Living in northern Minnesota for 3 years, I can handle ANY winter weather 🤣. I'm all for the shorter winters and longer growing season.

Hello FINALLY again. After living in Bismarck, to Indiana, to Northern Minnesota... We are finally to where we can have chickens again in Missouri!!!! Yay! Our family has missed chickens. We have been here just a month, and plan to build a coop through the winter and be ready for spring...

Hey everyone. So, Monday we had the placement service for my husband for vicarage. It's like a year internship for the guys in school to be lutheran pastors. Anyway, we told them we didn't care where we were sent... it's only a year afterall. Well, we will be moving to BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA...

Ahhhh. Finally caught up on posts. I've lurked a few times, but work was keeping me busy. Oh, I would love to have chicks now, but in the summer we are moving and can't take our 4 hens with us. My dad will add them to his small flock til we move back in a year. All these chick pics are...

I've missed a lot on here. Been pretty busy. My dad had more vertebrae fused in his neck on the 29th. Been making the 45 min drive to take care of him since his wife went back to work. It's been nice taking my youngest and spending time with him. Helped him a little with his few hens too. He...

Oh sorry Finnie. We had a pair of turkeys when I was a kid. The female was so sweet. I'm sorry for your loss :(

Oh so sorry faraday for the loss of spitzie. :(

How much snow has everyone gotten? We have 8, last I checked. But now it's snowing again and U.S. 30 has snow on it again. It was one lane most of the day. Glad input the girls in the barn so I wouldn't have to worry about the chicken Tractor. Haven't gotten any eggs for a month now :( how...

Oh finnie. Glad you got your turkey back. When you posted I thought "oh great, someone trying to hunt took her" being so close to the holidays. Glad she's home and safe. Lol, I am glad the neighbors weren't scared of her or a dog got to her.

Mike Todd- that's great!!! I watched outside for ours (that we assume was taken by a hawk) for a couple days. Hoping to see her wander out from a hiding place. Ours never did. So glad you have your Rhonda back :)

Faraday- love incubator tv! I'll have to try it again after all our moving is done. Ellymayrans- so sorry about your loss. She looks like she was sweet. LocosHuevos- glad you got a picture. What town are you close to? so we can make sure to look out for him. Definitely fishy, hate when...

Oh sorry LocosHuevos :( sometimes a break from some responsibility can help. Maybe sometime in the future you can get back to the chicken life even if it is years down the road. Storms didn't cause as much damage as it looked when it was raging outside. But now the constant flurries! Glad...

So I guess my egg production is at a better average than you guys'. Getting 2 brown eggs from 4 hens. And I know which they are since the other two lay green eggs. I cleared the garden out and threw the broccoli plants in the coop since they never did produce. The rogue tomato plants were...

LocosHuevos huevos- that's horrible. Who ever did it better get caught. It sickens me when people steal. Especially pets. Sometimes makes me want to put GPS trackers on them!

Thanks for the idea Leahs Mom. We will be moving at the beginning of summer, so not sure how much I want to invest yet. My dad will keep the hens for me while we are gone. (Husband has a year long vicarage (internship)). Then we move back for a year before being called to a parish. We could...

Oh what a day. Yesterday came home from picking kids up from school and went out to check in the girls that were free ranging in the backyard. 3 had already gone to bed. Found my daughters favorite wyandotte shoved under a log on the edge of the woods. Thought she was dead, she didnt move or...
