Pics on BYC?? I am so not able to do that. Tech stuff just goes over my head. Now, FB is so easy to do. Why can't it be that way here??
You can share facebook pics here. Put the pictures in an album on facebook, open the album -- in the middle. at the bottom of the screen is a link. Copy, paste.
Yup, what Olive said. fb is easy, unless you have your pics blocked to the public.
I have a fb if anyone wants to add me. I also have a fanpage for my photography

So, I'm getting a little tired of this rain. Rain + dirt = messy, messy mud! The ducks are having a grand time with it, but the chickens are a little ticked off lol.
Then today we made it coop cleaning day. Oh boy, that wasn't fun in the rain and mud either lol.
We made two small dog/chicken houses. They are for sale at $50 or best offer or trade. They are made of all wood with wood slats and metal for roofs so they won't cave in. They're really nice!
All the animals are doing very well. Me, not so much.

I tired of this rain as well, but the forecast for today and tomorrow don't look as if we will have much in the way of sunshine. I'm glad that the ground is predominately sand where I have my birds. Given the amount of rain we've had, and the amount that is still headed our way, I'm sure many area have become lakes. The weather forecast just showed Howell cover with green and lots of yellow and red headed our way and due to be here in a little while.
Yesterday, during one of our brief respites, I was taking pole bean vines off of the garden fence. As a deterent for deer I added a hot wire about 4' from the ground to the system that protects my flock. I rarely disconnect the power when entering my chicken run since the rubber soles of my boots keep me from grounding out. However, with the grass being so wet the leather of my boots soon became soaked through and it wasn't long before I was reminded that the electric fence system was working. I can see why it is so effective in keeping predators at bay.

Yikes Opa! I hope you didn't shock yourself too badly.

I still have 4 girls that REFUSE to squat but when they do I will be soooo excited!
Speaking of feeling better. I hope I feel better....I came back from California with what i thought was my allergies acting up. Nope. Good old fashioned cold.
I feel more lively this morning but not 100%. It's so dark in the morning.....I guess I'll have some hot tea as i watch the sun rise.
My sweet little silkie attacked my hand yesterday. I went to see how many eggs she had underneath her and she told me where to stick it basically. She bit me! I guess I know better next time.

It's been quite beautiful since the last storm blew through. I've been getting so much done I need to take a vacation and go salmon fishing!

Of course you haven't had any rain, it's all been dumping on us. Nothing left in the clouds by the time they get to GR.

Im in the UP...Ishpeming, actually.
This is my FIRST year raising these adorable little feathered cuties.
ALL breeds are winter=hardy..
I have 3 ducks too.
I was given a WC Blk Polish Roo by someone who could not keep him.
He is JUST PRECIOUS, loves his girls so much.m
I have a 12x20 coop.With the winter coming, I am stressing out very much about How to Keep my Polish safe and warm enough..i.e..keeping his crest dry.
Please, ANY suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks friends
