Oh I understand that! A LOT has changed here for sure. I got here in late '06 and so much has changed in just that amount of time! There are stores all the way down Western now, and Western and Gumbranch connect. The Mall is the same size, but there are more stores. They added an Ulta and a Red...
I'm totally in! Sorry... I was just replying to Kassaundra! We're on the gardening forum together.
**ETA I just keep forgetting that this place is MUCH bigger than TEG... so I keep forgetting to quote people! I'll try to do better!
We like it here. We bought a little house and have our little urban homestead here. :-) Since hubby medically retired from the Marine Corps, he's been thinking about going back to school to get his masters in Bio and working for the EPA or for the State. What made you move from Maysville?
I would really like to participate... if you don't mind a newbie!! I did make BIG Granny square blankets for my kids for Christmas a couple years ago. :)
About a month ago, I introduced 3 new hens to my flock. They are older hens, about a year and a half, and mine are still under a year. The pecking order ensued and everything has mostly calmed down at this point. One of my girls had part of her comb ripped off (used neosporin type stuff on it)...
In their 8x24 there is no grass, with bare ground, but the back yard has plenty of grass to spare! :) We also feed them an all flock ration as well, they're not exclusively free range. Since it's getting to be winter, the grass is starting to die out, but there ARE still green patches out there...
My husband and I are contemplating Buffs as a Spring addition to our flock... we are either going to go with Meyer Hatchery, or Metzer. It looks like Metzer we could order 4 for just a couple dollars more than we could order 3 from Meyer. We already have 6 ducks as is, 4 Pekin, a Campbell, and...
So, I've been feeding my ducks (4 Pekin) the Dumor feed from TSC. I then switched to Nutrena Country Feeds because that what our local "non big box" feed place has. (My husband and I like to support local businesses whenever possible, and it didn't hurt that it was a dollar less expensive for...
I just peeked out the window out there... it seems that one of the ducks IS sitting on the eggs... I can see a white head sticking up above the grass that surrounds the back side of the pool.
Opinions? Move them? Get rid of them? or leave them?
Mmmmm... no. But I HAVE seen Steve do this little head bob thing.. LOL I'm not here all the time so I don't believe I've ever really watched to see if they've been mating.
I have 4 Pekin... 3 ducks and a drake. I got 2 of the birds from TSC when they were having their chick days earlier this year. The other 2 I traded for because I had 2 mallard drakes. Well, the 2 that I traded for were a little older, and had already started laying. They laid for a few days and...
So, I got these 2 new Pekin females from a breeder in our area. I only went with him because some others had told me that they had really good experience with him. When I get there, the chicken enclosures look decent, but the duck enclosure was HORRENDOUS!! It was a decent size, and there were...
