What did you do in the garden today?
Actually my Medicare, supplemental, and drug cost will total just a tad over $400.00/ month for ‘26. Advantage plans could probably be had for $0.00 monthly premium or near that but jumping through hoops is not an activity I’m interested in. This is one reason all the open enrollment Medicare... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Not having any health issues at 67 and only seeing the doctor for yearly checkups it would be cost effective for me to have a Medicare Advantage plan. However, Going with standard Medicare, supplemental G, and a drug plan cuts out all the if’s and and’s of who pays what and when. Costs me more... -

Dual coops
Just curious, does anyone see any downside or issues with having two coops accessible to the flock? We have our original coop(about 18 sq.ft.) which we blocked off so the flock would learn to go to the new 120 sq.ft. coop, which they have. Both coops enter into the same fenced in area.
