    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    In the Netherlands and Belgium there is s company not very different from Ama-zon called Bol.com . It started as secondhand bookshop but sells about everything nowadays. Often by vendors. But Bol.com has to give customers service if there are any problems. Here its bigger than Amaz-on partly bc...

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    We have one simple rule. If no one is complaining , there is no problem. Second comes the rules and regulations. One of them in my town is no roosters within the city zone. Besides the law enforcement here rather says we better come to an agreement with neighbours than to make them do it the...

    No. I never buy from Ama-zon. I do not like the owner. Absolutely NOT a sustainable guy.

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    Why would he? Unless you keep a practicing cockerel or a rooster of course. Crowers would annoy me for certain.

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 30th, 2026

    Once my husband to be and I slept in a forest in Greece. The next morning when I woke up, a turtle was sleeping on my legs, between my sleeping bag, and a waterproof sheet.

    New BYC Product - OvaSense™ Smart Nest Panel!

    No lack of broodies here. So not interested. A device that un-broodies a broody hen within 24 hours would be a great asset though. Also on my wish-list is a rooster of a soft-crow breed. One that doesn’t crow louder than my hens cluck. 🤫

    Question of the Day - Sunday, March 29th, 2026

    Depends. The isolation of the house needs to be good if winters are cold or summers are too hot. With solar panels, a windmill, a large battery, some clever devices, water and heat pumps, a well and a barrel for extra water on top of the house, it can work without much work. You don’t even need...

    Question of the Day - Sunday, March 29th, 2026

    A large battery to store the power from our solar panels. A complete new kitchen (cabinets, devices) without a noisy ventilation. An automatic clutter vanisher for the attic. 😂 A new ventilation device that uses the warmth of the outgoing air to warm the incoming air with a bypass in summer and...

    I have seen this broody behaviour and cooperation too in previous years.

    So much better than our flag. 🇳🇱 I do like the liberation flag we had last year.

    Time for tax. “What is that in your hands? Do you have snacks? “ “No sorry, just a phone. “ Glad this gang doesn’t spit fire 🔥😄.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    A language thing. My bad. The Komodo dragon is named Komodovaraan in the Netherlands. A bearded dragon is named baardagame. A dragon is a draak. If you talk about a dragon /draak in the Netherlands we are talking about fantasy creatures who live in cages on a stack of gold and spit fire...

    pollipazzi's 365 project

    I had a few in our garden over the years who just stared at me. Coming close they went away. This is a strange one and maybe you are right, its sounds as if he is accustomed to people. I certainly wouldn’t let my chickens free range if I saw 👀 a fox 🦊 hanging around. Fortunately I don’t have a...
