My garden is still mud. And more rain coming later today. My 5 dwarf fruit trees that I planted last summer, survived the winter and that makes me very happy.

Thanks for your input. 3 of the chicks flew over the pen yesterday and spent the day outside with the big girls. (Now the pen had bird netting over it) But the big ones didn't seem to pick on those 3 so I'm thinking that is good. The coop is 9x10 and the chicken yard is 1500 sq feet

Finally got caught up on this thread and good to see everybody "survived" that minus temp weather and those bad snowstorms. Raining here for the next 3 days....ugh. I knew I should have mowed the lawn last weekend. All of my 8 hens survived the winter...they are a year old now. And I got...

Finally got the Hartford house sold and closed. One more property to dispose of but DS & DIL are buying it...hopefully before the end of the year so I can close late hubby's estate. I so want to be done with this...almost 2 years. I'm having the house sided now and can't wait until it is...

I have to work on Thanksgiving...ha! No making a meal. I'm tired of making Thanksgiving dinner...I hate it. DS &DIL are going to her parents. I sold the house in Hartford! It closes on 12/11...makes me happy to get that out of my hair Now only 1 property left of hubby's estate and DS...

I am so far behind in doing stuff to get ready for winter and tonight it is supposed to get down to 13. Thought I was going to cut the grass today but it is raining again..darn it. I need to get the garden cleaned out, the new waterer set up for the chickens and fix a bunch of little things...

Congrats bl4, I bet that's a relief! I've been trying to sell one of late hubby's properties since 8/31 and the buyer is playing games. I spent an hour today using my sawzall to cut down a stump level to the ground. I wish I would have thought of this earlier in the year before the...

@BlackBrookPoultry is that a Welsummer rooster in your avatar? I want one of those

Must be Fall because I hauled out all my cross-stitching projects to work on over the winter. I have so much stash I'll have to be 300 years old in order to finish it all. I still need to get the garden tilled under and the grass cut one last time, but it's been too wet. Pullets are still...

My parents had a summer cottage on Post Lake....we used to spend a lot of time in Antigo when we were "up North". I remember it being a great place.

Thanks Jean. The guy in Middleton that was going to build my coop in May kept postponing and then backed out. I had to find somebody else to build one....it is almost done. Right now they are in a large Formex coop with a small run in my garden that is surrounded by deer fencing. Their new...

I meant what should I do with the chicken to fix it?

One of my dogs got at a chicken (22 week old pullet) this morning and tore the tail feathers out. Chicken was pretty freaked out and is now just sitting in one of the nest boxes in the coop resting. There were some drops of blood on her butt and a couple on her legs. What should I do about...

I would like to get Welsummers and Jersey Giants next April. Where is the best place to get them from? Any pros/cons on these 2 breeds?

When I bought my house last year, they left the old washer & dryer. The dryer didn't work well so i replaced it. The washer works great and I'll bet it is at least 15 yrs old...I hope I don't have to replace it in the future. At the last place I lived, I had to buy a new washer and...

I'll have to see if I can find that brand of cookies. Thanks

What a freak accident..I'm sorry to hear this

what brand of gingersnaps? I hate soft ones

ok...I'll polyurethane the floor. I am going to have to check the width of the door...it is already cut. I know you told me to have it as wide as a wheelbarrow, but I completely forgot about that..darn

One more question about a coop (well, there might be more questions in the future)....what do I do with the floor? Varnish/paint/vinyl ?????
