    Chickens Found My Ring?

    My sister says this is proof that the chickens love me. That may be, but if I was to fall dead in the yard, they would still pick my bones clean - afterall, I am "the food lady" to them. As for free ranging and "loot" I have to scold them for visiting the neighbors as it is - my older girls...

    ~ Retired and Starting My Future In The Foothills ~

    Kansaseq, Don't want to hijack Linda's homestead thread, but if you are looking used, you might consider the Honda Element (not making them new any more, '11 was the last year). I LOVE my '04 - and in addition to raising/lowering the rear seats individually, you can remove them easily if you...

    Just curious who else is living super frugal

    I don't think you failed at frugal. Frugal doesn't mean just money - won't this cut the time spent on this chore down considerably and allow you to spend time on another endeavor??? Growing up we were taught to buy the best quality we could afford. Frequently that entailed waiting a long...

    Refreshing the Flock in the New Year

    So my 4 girls are now "Ladies who lunch." When Spring arrives they will lay an egg once in a while, but not daily, and that is ok. I decided to increase the flock and purchased Buff Orpingtons from OKChickens and Lavender Orpingtons from Bargain. Didn't get them started at the same time, but...
