keyt1969 I just saw and ad for some in Webberville, if that's not too far (I'm getting some next year, so I've been keeping an eye out for who sells them)

Thinking about the point of the weed thing -- rodents, right? Where are they gonna hide in your "weeds"?

And while it isn't manicured within an inch of its life (talk about a waste of one's time), your lawn looks fine to me.

My boyfriend's uncle has started his own farm. It's a LOT bigger than ours but he also grew up here with Aric's mom when this place had 450+ acres. He wants ducks pretty bad so I'm selling him some of mine that have gotten old and need a good place to retire. I have certain ones I'm keeping of course but I figure they'd love it at Dale's place!

 

So, I've given myself permission gig.gifto get more and this time i want Muskovys. I'm also still looking for another 1 or 2 guinea keets, preferably lavender.

I got the chocolate one from you at chickenstock. If you weren't so far away I'd definitely get more from you! Unfortunately both finances and vehicles aren't healthy enough to go that far! hit.gif

Hello. I am in Michigan. My backyard is on the MI/OH border. We are new to raising chickens. We have 9 birds that were supposed to be girls, but I suspect one them is actually a he:) I have 4 kids, a bearded dragon, 2 buff Orpington, 2 black Australorp, a barred rock, a silver laced Wyandotte, a golden laced Wyandotte and 2 Ameraucana. I am thinking actually EE, in truth and one of them being the s/he.

Welcome Leah.
Well I had one casualty because of the heat yesterday. I lost a cockerel. Poor thing just couldn't take the stress of it I guess. I even have a kids swim pool in there for them.
