Belated Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone is staying safe today. I went sliding across my porch when going out to care for the hens this morning and my pines are sagging from the ice. Praying for the wind to NOT pick up.
Mary, how are those chicks doing? Pics yet? I've been...
Oh, now that sounds like a fun little road trip in the spring.... Oh honey... road trip time!
Did they have any hints on what was in the bin? Or any suspicions yet from you?
You've probably already checked it, but....one additional question that came to my mind. What is the mill date of the feed? I ask because when I went to pick up a bag of feed at TSC in October they had bags with mill dates back in February.
Fun, white morning. Discussion with my barred rock:
Me: *opens pop door*
BR: *runs to door, looks out, looks inside, looks back out* *screams*
"What is this???? *continues screaming* "Get rid of it!"
ME: *brushes snow from ramp*
BR: *runs down ramp and into covered area* *clucking* "About...
I'm grumbling....widespread frost and freezing temps are in the forecast for southern lower Michigan for Wednesday night. I know its that time of year, but it always feels too soon.
How did your garlic do this year Sally, I believe you tried a couple of new varieties right? I planted Musik, purple glazer and german reds, the latter two were new to me to try. I think of those the musiks still are my favorite. The other two had good flavor, but the bulbs and cloves were...
They will freeze. A tiny bit of water seems to get stuck between the nipple and the red plastic part outside and it will freeze once it gets really frigid. It doesn't take much to thaw that one ice drop and have it working again though.
I've never really had them freeze up much more than...
Oh laugh all you want, I was. I had no problem locating her in the yard that day. Just had to follow the trail :lol: Wasn't nearly as dramatic today. Just oh 5 or 6 here and there, and 40-50 where she had a bath, similar amount on the coop this morning and whereever she sat in the run...
My buff orp is officially molting. A month earlier than last year. But a few hundred buff feathers floating about today. Of course if you looked at her, you could not tell where they are coming from yet. Last year in early October, she had a "power" molt. Came out to free range, got about...
Rabbit, deer, I have never found a "wild" seedling near mine. Always assumed one of those two eat them. You ever try to propagate them?
I found them tough to propagate via seed. But I don't think I properly scarified them before stratification and only tried once.
You should also be able...
Mine too. I planted music, German reds and purple glazer last fall. I believe metechi's are a type of purple. I harvested scapes from the musics today. The purples are starting to grow scapes and the reds are the smallest of the 3 types so far. Its been interesting so far to see the definite...
