Not cheesy at all! It's always wonderful to spend more time with loved ones, whether they are human or feathered or furry. They appreciate the time with you as well. ♥️
Sounds like you are well on your way to a successful farm! Congrats! Oregon is such a lovely state and your turkeys are adorable!
Beautiful sunset pictures! What an amazing trip! I'm with you on the thousand island dressing. I just like plain ol mustard on my Reubens. Love the kraut, though...
Oh, nothing is better than homemade jam! Except maybe multiple summers. :) Watching new growth is inspiring!
Those first eggs do cost a bundle, don't they? But just wait, each successive one halves the cost. ;) But the memories of getting there are priceless!
That does sound like an amazing summer! I have always wanted to travel our own Route 66, but have never gotten around to it.
How fun! I sure enjoyed doing things with my mom!
Cruising is fun! I have been to Alaska twice and hope to go somewhere warm next. I'm glad you went and had such a...
What a wonderful trip! And so much more meaningful to make memories with your daughters on top of your own memories!
What a magnificent cathedral! Those unplanned excursions make the best memories!
The best part of gardening is sharing. The people you share with will always remember that fondly!

Memories of Summer—2025
Ends October 5th, 2025
What did you do over the summer on your farm or residence? Did you add a new species of poultry or livestock and how did that go? Did you build a new coop or barn...
This is a good point. We do rely on the seller to let us know when their offering has been sold or is otherwise no longer available, but if they neglect to do so, there is not much we can do, although I am working on options for that.
We remove those when we see them and they are reported more often than not. BYC maintains a standard of kindness and a welcoming attitude towards new members and those who might accidentally reply to an older thread.
Disagree. There is good info there that might help someone in the same situation. One person’s irrelevancy or annoyance is another person’s information goldmine. If you don’t find it valuable to you, just scroll by.
And calling them out here is an example of the unkindness I was talking about.
Exactly. An old thread is not an irrelevant thread. Experience counts and is valuable. Chickens have been getting sick for millennia. It ain't new.
This is my point. No one was hatched knowing the nuances of every little thing. There is a way to help and a way to be rude to a new (or old)...
We should not be discouraging new members from replying to old threads. Just because a thread is old, it doesn't mean it doesn't have good information. BYC was built on the experience of members from years back. And that means some threads are old.
We should be welcoming to new members, not...
If there is anything you know we do have for sale, like PFMs to gift to someone or a Raising Chickens for Dummies book or just to inquire about something, send me a private message and I'll see if we have it and get you a cost. I can invoice you and send it out. :)
Kind of, or they could be on the outside too. Or the posts could be on the outside and the trellis on the inside, though it’s all hypothetical until hubby actually starts building the beds.
