I'm relatively new to the chicken biz and last year was the first time we decided to keep a rooster from a hatch. We have plenty of hens so the ratio isn't the issue for us. We will be integrating the spring hatch in a few weeks and if we still have Wellie we can see how it goes. For us this...

Hi all - finally getting a day to kick back so decided to catch up on the happenings of the cheeseheads. Welcome all newbies! Jim - new pup sounds great and really like the choice in name. Hens/Roos & Cuties - congrats to you both and your kids. So much work by parents and the kids and so...

Opps I hit enter by mistake . . . hmm now that I'm retired I think I just had my first senior moment ok I know my hubby would take issue with this being the first. Hens & Roos if your popping in now and then, the babies are doing great. Still not quite sure of what we have and I need to...

Hi Unk I just hopped on and see your are on too. Hope all is well up there in the great North woods

Way to train the hubby Connie!!

Jim - Congrats on the pups! BTW, we've grown Amish Paste tomatoes for the last couple of years and absolutely love them. I think they are more prolific and meatier than Italian Paste (just my opinion). Hi Megan - we got 12 Black Australorps pullets from Abendroth last year and love those...

Eggcellent . . . I'll PM you THANKS!!

Oh I know exactly what you mean - I get so angry and frustrated.

Just stopping by to say HI

Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone. Wow those were some names from the past Jim, I was just thinking of that young guy the other day. He's probably keeping pretty busy helping with all his younger sibs and school. Nice pic of mom and pups . . . yeah she does not look like she's in the...

I know I'm a relatively new member to this cheese flock, but I'm still here and planning on camping at the spring bash. We were at that Packer/Bear game - froze my tush off . . . but was a wonderful win as was the win against the "queens" Bigz: I know I'm a bit behind times on this, but my...

Jim: We aren't comfortable using the heat lamp either, but resorted to it last winter. We'd like to switch to your setup, where did you get your small ceramic heater and thermocube from? I'm thinking I should be able to find them at Farm & Fleet. Fuxzi: Great job on setting this up! I will...

How fun - this hen looks like our Black Australorps, what is she?

Cindlady here is the FB link https://www.facebook.com/AGatheringofRoguesandRuffians as Eagleeye posted it's goinging on today and tomorrow. Are you thinking of attending? If so, you will practially go by my place and I'll be around pretty much all day. I'll PM you my phone # and address...

Chickenscratch: we were considering doing the tour and would have loved to hook up with you, but New Glarus is hosting a Renaissance Faire which is practically in my, and Kristip's backyard. We've missed it other years and with the weather being so perfect, we decided to stick closer to home...

So very sad, was such a beautiful dog

Morning all was neat to have a clear sky and watch the lunar eclipse this morning. H&R: very timely for your 12 year old, it's one thing to sit in the classroom and learn about such things, but to be able to experience it is the best! Well many of us seam to be in the same boat when it...

Just popping in to say hi we got back from vacation this week and I'm just now finding some time to check in. I'm behind some 250+ posts, but just read about Terri's Dad and didn't want to wait to send her my condolences Terri . . . you are in my thought

Hi All Big Zio: I'm envious of the green peppers, ours aren't doing much of anything. Need to change things up for next year, not sure what yet but that's what winter is good for - a brandy O/F by the fire while planning the spring gardens. BL4: We also have a TON of green tomatoes, and...
