    Top bar hives are sweet... I built one but never used it... I have 2 langstroth hives... TBH's are more natural but my goal was maximum honey production... The crush and strain method causes the girls to work more....

    RIR's... Wife gave me a bator for Christmas... hatched 7 eggs in that round... She asked why I hadn't filled it up yet... ... I finished filling it up today.... had a friend wanting some chickens, after they were 7 weeks old, told him to come get them.. He decided he didn't want them after...

    I tried seeds one year, but they never did well.  Any suggestions?   Whether my experiment works or not, I will share the details... bought a seed flat, filled to level with seed starting potting soil... soaked the soil with hot water and drained excess... placed seeds at desired depth...

    Well, the wife has said I can hatch more eggs... She has set the rules though.... WHEN they hatch, either trade, sell, or eat... That's a fair deal I think... Especially when she is going to help... On a side note, the wife and I just put our seeds in trays tonight... Always bought the plants...
