    Your coop build has been my inspiration from the beginning! Great job and great teamwork! My question is about the run - is it the same size as the coop or slightly smaller, and have you found it to be big enough, or did you later need to enlarge? Also, did the bird netting work okay?

    Are cowpeas/blackeye peas plants ok to feed chickens?

    3goodeggs, I'm really glad I asked! And such knowledgeable answers - BYCers are the best! I think I've got it now - do not feed if they are fully dried, but as long as they're fresh, it's ok to feed the greens and young beans. I'm always looking for ways to grow the hen's feed myself and...

    Are cowpeas/blackeye peas plants ok to feed chickens?

    redhen my packages say "California Blackeye #5 - The most popular of all southern pea varieties. Long, 7- to 8-inch green pods are filled with white seeds marked with a shiny black eye. Vigorous, productive plants are disease resistant. Harvest in 78 days." Sooo..... I guess they're the same...

    Are cowpeas/blackeye peas plants ok to feed chickens?

    This year I'm growing cowpeas/blackeyed peas for the first time. If I let the chickens at the plants once they have bloomed and are producing the pods, is that ok? I hope someone knows! The treat chart just says cooked only for beans, but I have heard that pea plants are ok. I'm also...

    What do other moms want for mother's day?

    He asked me what I want for Mother's Day and I told him - Portland cement and a mixing trough so I can install my pond!! I'm crossing my fingers he'll get it for me!

    Spring Nursery is underway - possums, squirrels & Chickenhawks, Oh My!

    That's really cool - I'm glad the cats didn't kill mom or bunnies! That's what we had last year - a little bunny under every car at sunset and scampering through my garden, but none so far this year. Maybe it's still a little early. But yes, the possums are cute, but not quite as cute as the...

    Spring Nursery is underway - possums, squirrels & Chickenhawks, Oh My!

    You bet - those possums are ravenous, along with the dog and cat, but we got a friend to help take care of the baby squirrels some days. As soon as they're old enough, we'll send them to the game preserve for release, but apparently, that will be quite a while. I know that I've seen Mama possums...

    Spring Nursery is underway - possums, squirrels & Chickenhawks, Oh My!

    Ok the spring nursery, known as our yard, is well underway. Things are very different this year - so far, we have 2 orphaned baby black squirrels in a cage and FIVE orphaned baby possums!! We have found seven baby possums so far, but one was already dead and one other one died. It seems like...

    How to remove water heater thermostat? I know it sounds silly,Please h

    Ok, I know this SHOULD be the easy part, but how, exactly do you remove the old water heater thermostat from the old water heater? When I started to do it myself, my DH gave some long-winded story about how difficult it is and how you need special tools and so forth. I think he was just being...

    Done with the coop. Pics

    AWWWW!! It's cute as a button!! I agree though, start thinking about how you can build on an addition, or a new "wing"!! (Sorry, pun intended, I admit it! )
