    I'm sure King George will get it. Even though they were the slowest to fully mature here, they are still a smart bird. I really have liked my British girls. Not that I'm hatch eggs or anything but I had no clue that the roosters needed light for fertility also. You may have to repeat that at...

    Hi all. OK Ivie, what is this dangling thing all about? I must have missed something. Holm that's too bad about your cow. Never want to lose one but you're right, it's part of farm life. My neighbor lost 6 last year because a young bull broke through to the corn and before they realized 6...

    Adorable! I almost want some chicks. I'm just leaving that to the hens. I have to admit every time you say 'Aussie' my brain goes to the dogs.

    We are home! I can spend time cleaning the stinky coop. Hate when it get let go, but this time it just had to be. I think I'm just going to get the tractor out & do the alpaca pen also. All chicken are accounted for. Chuckie high tailed (without any tail feathers) it to his old coop which is in...

    Surviving Minnesota!

    I came home yesterday for a break. Found the dogs had rolled in something so I gave them a bath. In my line of thinking, once they were clean I could take them to see Tim at the hospital. This being we would be gone I could open up the WestWing girls to free range. When my son closed up, Chuckie...

    BC I just love your flock! I don't get to spend as much time as I want with the girls for them to get that sweet, but then Roger is special Tim is taking the long way around on the road to recovery. Surgery went well, but... Currently we are in the Riverside ER waiting for an (ICU?) bed at the...

    He is! Roger has a special place in my heart, kind of like watching from afar my Scouts or Sunday school kids grow up & go onto bigger & better things. Brings joy into my life. Roger & Chuckie (& Lighting) have kind of grown up together. Sappy I know.

    I'm glad you asked erlibrd, all I could think of was when did holm start raising Australian Shepherds? Ralphie, another one close by for camp day! Lilbear there are a bunch of us from the Elk River/Big Lake/Anoka area. When home, I'm in Nowthen. I still love that picture of Roger, does he...

    Ivie I hope you love your little Brits. King George got to be a belly button because Ralphie elevated his status to King, should have stayed a Lord, maybe he could have handled Prince. Keep posting pictures everyone. At this point I may forget what a chicken looks like.

    I'm missing my chickens. I went to the coop yesterday & the stupid watered had leaked. Wet mess. I have it in a contained area in the coop because there isn't anyplace outside to put it that I can get to it &'it's protected from the elements. I'm glad I had bought more bedding on my way home. I...

    I agree there needs to be a Northern climate comb clause (NCCC) for all breeds. My (coffee) creamer had frosty nips on his comb most of the winter, then we warmed up, got wet then temps plummeted. HC, what happened!?! The whole comb froze! By summer he will have a pea comb. He seems to be the...
