Hopefully all my pictures cooperate this time... just popping in to say Hi and share what I’ve been up to. Chicks are doing well, I did lose one that was much smaller and clearly not doing well from the beginning. Arduinna has been enjoying spending time at the other farm as there is lots of...

Lucky is 100% back to normal, and happy and healthy. Roostie is doing well, we still haven’t had a chance to remove any of the pus, but he’s quite active and behaving normally, with almost no indications of pain other than a slight limp. General update: I've been super busy lately, and am...

I like the higher protein feeds. I now feed a 18% protein layer pellet which is available here. Prior to finding the brand I’m now feeding, the store I was purchasing from only carried a 16% layer pellet and 20% stater crumble, with a “special order” for a 20% protein broiler pellet that was a...

All depends on the type of bear, availability of other food sources, and coop design. My uncle gets grizzlies, they leave paw prints on the doors and Windows of his cabin, but are easily deterred by his two outdoor dogs. I’m mostly familiar with black bears and have run into them hiking...

Wow!!! I’ve heard of the Almond fields, but that picture is just mind blowing. It’s as far as the camera can see. Next we need to get you flying one of those drone thingies to really give some perspective. I’m a little disturbed by the destructive monoculture aspect of it, but it is quite...

Yes, there are only two things the white stuff is really good for, sledding kiddos and tracking predators. Although I’m glad mine is almost completely gone, it did afford me tge opportunity to walk the path of the little Danger Bears (Racoons!) and see exactly where they were going. Apparently...

I cry photo shop! That simply Cannot be the same chicken. She is looking absolutely amazing, great job nursing her!

Speaking of culling... I am so angry right now. I mentioned over on Bob’s thread that another Farmer here believes he has Mareks and was going to cull his entire flock of over 100 birds. Including not even 1 year old birds. Also because he has some egg eaters, and ones that refuse to roost in...

Nope, that was last week... and it was miserable! Granted where my uncle lives (also in BC, but further north) it was -20 to -30C! So maybe that’s an average? It was so warm out yesterday I was only wearing a single light hoodie outside.

That’s how they get you... a creature so unbelievably odd that you’re distracted enough for the drop bears to get you!

Thanks! She’s now 95% housebroken, no bedtime accidents, and if I’m paying enough attention to her during the day, outside pees! She’s well behaved at night, a little too bouncy in the mornings, and we are working on leash/harness training as well. She needs a shed and some friends so she can...

Personally, I’m still not completely ruling out the Murder in the main house as a viable solution... I mean, ummm, option? potential “tragedy”? Just please... no sheep! I think we’ve both been quite clear on how we feel about those nasty things! Arduinna waiting for me to come to bed, she’s...

Wise man indeed! Just a bare touch of water to open up the flavors a bit... I won’t let the bartenders touch mine, I used to get a glass of water, a pint of whatever beer is on sale, and a double, neat. They always water it down way too much or put ice in if you let them. We were such regulars...

Love the tower of pots in the background! Is that a wisteria, too?

I’m happy to announce we are getting a nice, solid rain by the sounds of it! Goodbye snow, hopefully by tomorrow morning
