Yes, but there are limits to what power can be legally sold - supposedly what can be sold...

Predators will always take the easy shot...

Right! We are not near any large airports, do see the occasional medical helicopter - I can certainly hear them, chances would be slim, and I wouldn't take that chance - that hawk isn't going anywhere.

They are close enough to see with the naked eye. Most times there is only one and it is very large. This fall I've noticed two that tend to stay close. I believe it is a breeding pair. They join each other on utiliy poles and follow each other to a particular cedar tree. l generally look...

Oh, they sit on the utility poles over my shop just on the other side of driveway and in the pasture just outside my back door and the trees behind the barn. I've watched them sitting for nearly an hour at a time. No problem going out the back door to light them up. I can hardly PREVENT an...

I don't either, it's illegal here. I'd much rather get them to just mosey along! Besides, I cant hit the broad side of a barn - terrible arthritis.

Yes, get a picture of your daughter with the ladies Christmas morning - use for Christmas cards next year! Peace, Love and Chicken Joy to you!

OMGoodness everyone! The things we do and the sleepless nights we have for our babies. I've experienced all your feelings and doubts about if I've done the right thing. I'm in North Central TX so not experiencing anything like some of you. It is cold, though! I have 4 -18 month old hens and 6...

Since they had no audience to play to, I'm sure they calmly walked in, did their bedtime rituals and went to roost!

That's funny! I used to have that exact conversation with my daughter when she started her baby babble!

This is so true - I see all this and more in my little flock!
