Anyway, I only know one other person with chickens near me, so a holler in my direction is welcome anytime. :-)

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.

I had a lot of thunder earlier today, but not a drop of rain!  

 

Any ideas on how to keep Bambi from nibbling on your tomato plants?  They are planted right outside my front door.  The are about 3 - 4 feet tall and the tops have been eaten off.  I don't think Thumper did it, too tall.

Reverse psychology maybe?  I can't believe anyone wouldn't want rain at this point
