    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Hi Jim! I would love some strawberries. I am traveling for work right now but will be home tomorrow. I have grand plans to build a garden tower out of a 55 gallon plastic barrel. Have you seen plans for them on YouTube? Not sure I can make them, but I'm willing to give it a try. Sorry about the...

    Blood!

    Ugh. Found the coop like this today. I need some advice. These chickens have been vaccinated against coccidia. They are 10 months old and free range. One right now has a pendulous crop that we treated with antifungal's and antibiotics including a crop bra. I have another that is going through...
