    Vitamin E ?

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, or if anyone even knows but can anyone tell me if 'home grown' eggs have more Vitamin E than 'store bought' eggs? Thanks

    Should I even bother?

    Yup, in VT. The bear's been around since spring, and we had one show up now and then last year as well, so he's gonna be around. Just a fact of life. Maybe if he hangs around long enough my sis's BF will get him in November....

    Should I even bother?

    Heard from the Game Warden... he said I was doing everything right and to call if things escalate. No sign of the bear since Thursday night so I guess I just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best... My sister's boyfriend (who's a bow hunter) offered to take care of it but only with the...

    No little kids and the cats stay indoors.... not sure what the Fed Ex guy thought of it this morning though...

    Should I even bother?

    I called the local state police number and they took my name and number and said a warden would call me. Of course, they didn't say when and as of yet I've heard nothing. The guy at the state police didn't sound too interested. So my brother and I installed an 'Unwelcome Mat' at the bottom of...

    Should I even bother?

    It is the safe kind. I didn't know it was sweet, but that makes sense! I plan on looking at everything on the porch with a much different eye. Then I'm making an "unwelcome mat" to stop his access to the porch all together. I would rather teach him this isn't a good place to be then kill him...

    Thanks, that does help :) I "reported a Black Bear Incident" online, but with the holiday I doubt the nuisance bear phone number will do me much good before Monday. Tomorrow I'll go out and clean EVERYTHING off the porch. I don't have any food or garbage out there just some gardening stuff, but...

    Should I even bother?

    Thanks that does make me feel a bit better. It's a black bear... This is from when he walked through the yard one afternoon. I banged on the door, which was not 2 feet from him tonight and he completely ignored me. I live alone and well, he's just about bigger than me! I often describe myself...

    Should I even bother?

    Well that does it no chickens for me! The bear was on my front porch. He smashed open a jar of slug pellets of all things. I am completely freaked out and have no desire whatsoever to add something to my yard that will bring this guy back again and again and then frustrate him because he can't...

    Should I even bother?

    Not sure if this is the place to post this but here goes... I really want to get chickens but with all the predators I already have I'm wondering if it would pointless. The chickens would be housed in a coop and covered run that I would make as strong as humanly possible. They'd be kept in the...

    WHY DO YOU HAVE CHICKENS?????

    I don't have chickens... yet, but when I mentioned to my brother yesterday that I was thinking about getting some he said "Aw, geez (insert eyeroll here)" My response was "Yeah, I don't have enough crazy around here...." I think that was better than my previous explanation of " Because I can't...

    Enough Ventilation?

    HA!!! I'll give my brother the golf club ;) I guess I'm not as brave as you... plus having everything get wet while we're building would really suck, we have a real problem with mold, mildew and rot around here....it will get done eventually, everything around here does, it just takes awhile :D

    Enough Ventilation?

    Good stuff but I don't know as it would help much with a lightening strike

    Enough Ventilation?

    very true BUT it's hard to dress for lightening and hail!

    Enough Ventilation?

    My brother was supposed to help and he did show but the weather didn't co-operate. It seems lately that the week days are nice and then it rains all weekend. Now I've learned that I need a new tool shed so I'm thinking about dividing the shed in half at the doors and using one side for tools and...
