I am watching 3 hens for Ronda up from Tx till next week. I'm feeling quite bummed when she comes to get them, it took a bit for them to settle in, but they are all settled in and friends now. Even have caught two of the girls snuggling up in the nest box together. Now, don't get me wrong, I am...
I hate to even say this! But there are A TON of those types of jobs up in AK! My DH Sean, just got back right before Xmas, the oil and gas industry up there is about to kick it, he was with a huge helo company, (nightmare job!) but dealt with a ton of those people. I bet he even knows someone...
I'd jump on that fence in a snap, but my DH has been down with a bad back for the past few days, I'm going to have to pop for a chain link later this summer to partition off my hard for chickens/garden.
We are all down in the dumps over here with the unemployment blues too, I hope Bob finds...
He was in a sales capacity for a big aviation maintenence software company which was sold, they laid off all the employees, then he got a job as a regional sales manager up in AK for Evergreen Helo, what a nightmare. They are closing the base, never relo'd us and left him stranded up there with...
What does hubby do? We are both unemployed and looking too... My DH is in aviation and I owned my own wine business the past 5-6 yrs then was in Finance the 18 before that. Had an interview yesterday but it wasn't right for me. I guess I'll keep looking.
Have you tried looking at Dakota Ranch Rescue? We got our Rot from them and he has been a joy! They had lots of good dogs, that are good with chickens because they live on the ranch with some.
Hi all, poking my head in today, have been sick the past couple days.
Does anyone who lives in the city worry about the noise? My girls never used to make a peep hardly, just a chicken song now and again, but the house behind us is being sided and MAN oh MAN they are puttin' up a racket the...
I don't think real Witches, Wiccans, or Pagans actually kill chickens in rituals, I think that's a Hollywood thing. I know lots of those people and lots of them are vegan!
I am not personally a witch, unless you ask my ex husband I suppose LOL, but I do think that is a bunch of Hollywood hooey.
Well since I just have the other 3 girls for a short time I will just keep them a part only at hight. I am going to be choosey with the new chicks I add. More gentle girls, except the turkeys.... We will try with young chicks.
Advise?
I haven't had this issue before but I assumed at one time or another it would come up when I added to my flock. I'm currently chicken sitting for Ronda who moved up from Texas, she's a doll BTW!
My lowest in the pecking order is my EE Tini, she's not really part of the BA clique of my...
Wow! That's a lotta eggs and you need more? Boy, I'm glad my 6 kids are whittled down to 1, still, teenaged boy!
I'm no expert but I have 3 black austrolopes and once they started laying, they lay everyday. quiet, very friendly. I have been getting large eggs with double yolks from time to...
In regard to the Chicken swap I went in the summer and it was very fun, it was lively and lots of folks there. I myself picked up a carrier and a silkie (which didn't make it, but through no fault of the breeder). Lots of very nice folks there, I suspect it was because it was June :) I'm no...
how do you make a weather vane? I desperately want a grape vine with wine grapes for my homestead. Not here in this tiny house, but when we move it's on my list of things I someday want to have. :) How handy are you! Love it!
Oh! Just had fried up eggs and left over prime rib for...
Yes Pozee, I have Ronda's girls. They are getting along pretty well with mine, but my very shy EE is hiding out back in a corner of the yard where I keep the junk. (doesn't everyone have one of those?) All the rest of the girls are running around, fed them some warm oatmeal with what was left...
