    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    That's what I was seeing. Limping, not moving around much, not dust bathing very often. They didn't eat as well either. When I started giving them a little heat on the coldest nights and added the curtains, they started coming outside more. They eat better too and just act more like a happy...

    Need input - would this mix + Kalmbach work?

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    In the past when we had warranty work on the previous unit none of the old parts had to be returned to the company. The tech called and verified with the company the parts were covered. We only paid for labor on those parts. The part cost was paid directly to the tech. I hope your issue is...

    Me too. Our heat pump starting failing. We were expecting our coldest night so far. Called a company Monday morning. He came out Mon afternoon. While he was checking it out, it started snowing.:barnie Expensive to repair. It has given us problems ever since it was installed in 2017. Still...

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then nothing. It's been 5 weeks since.

    I think they go through one last juvenile molt somewhere around 8 or so months old. So what you are seeing may be normal.

    They look good. I think I can smell them! 🤣 I made vegetable soup this week. Used mostly vegetables put up from the garden. I opened a jar of tomatoes I canned to add. The smell is like summer time in a jar.

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    #1 may see #2 as the more dominate male. #2 is mating. #1 is staying out of his way. Sometimes a less dominate male does not crow, tidbit, etc because of a more dominate male being around. A week is not very long. He made need a couple weeks to get his confidence with mature hens. Some of...

    Don't blame you under the circumstances. I also have chronic back problems so I don't mind hiring the job done when necessary. Back pain is a tough thing to deal with. Hope your hubby recovers quickly!

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    Yes! Always read owners manuals. Some are available online even for older products. Doing a full toilet replacement is not difficult but you must also replace the seal that attaches the fixture to the floor. If you don't get a good seal it will leak. Watch the plumber if you can. You can...

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    Newer dishwashers have a filter inside under the bottom sprayer arm. A small trap door is opened and the filter inside is easily removed. You have to clean it regularly because these models recycle water to save on water usage while washing. They also do not have blades to chew up food...

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    I love my dishwasher. I run it at least every other day. It gets lots of use during canning season. Previously I had a basic simple model. It worked just fine for 25 years. A few years ago it became leaky so I replaced it with a Bosch. It is very frugal with water usage. The eco cycle...

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then nothing. It's been 5 weeks since.

    I wonder if this is because of the Legbar in her heritage? I have one Easter egger/Cream Legbar mix. She is about 9 yrs old now. Never laid an egg in winter, not even her first year. Laid well the rest of the year. I have had over a dozen Cream Legbars over the years. None of these laid...

    I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Had a cold rain off and on yesterday. We needed the rain. So far we've had several frosts but I've not had to cover anything. One cabbage had a slight purple cast to the top of the head from frost but no real damage. I've now harvested all...
