    Overloaded peach tree

    This is about a 6-year-old peach tree. Last year it bore normal sized and delicious peaches. This year, they are half the size, still green, and one branch has broken already. We should have thinned them had we known but raising peach trees in Wisconsin isn't a common thing. We just...

    Releasing a wild bunny

    One of our cats recently chased a baby rabbit out of the farmer's field next to us. She hadn't bit it, just played with it apparently as it was twisted and crawling. We rescued it, fed it fresh alfalfa (the field it was in), grass, carrots, and Chinchilla food. It ate like a little piggy...

    4 Bear cubs playing in our yard (Wisconsin)

    Night before last, four bear cubs came bumbling into our yard. They seemed to be interested in a stone flower planter and one climbed up into it while the others ran around it and looked on. They were the size of a St. Bernard dog, maybe slightly bigger. We've had bear before a few times, but...

    Solved New line in posts tagging Amazon

    This is making it look like I'm an Amazon Associate and I'm not. Could the "we" be changed to BYC?

    Debbie's Silkies

    I've got quite a bunch of incubating going on as I've been buying eggs plus hatching my own. I'm having issues keeping track of it all. I would do another hatch along but that does take a lot of work and sometimes I don't give it as much time as I feel I should. Thus, a couple folks...

    Remote control light reaching at least 30'

    We need a temporary light for a temporary issue. It's a new mini coop in our breeding pen nearly 40' from the house. It's going to be a couple of weeks until hubby can put a window in. It's pretty dark in there even for chickens that know where to go in there. I've been putting camping...

    Shipping adult chickens - anyone with experience?

    I'm being asked to ship 3 nearly full-grown silkie chickens within the same state, 3.5 hours away. They know this would cost huge. I assume I'd go Overnight USPS, but I've never done this nor heard of it, and certainly not sure how I feel about sticking my 3 lovelies into a box and leaving...

    Shipping eggs via USPS

    Is anyone else having issues with shipping hatching eggs via USPS Priority Mail (1-3) days taking longer? In the past few weeks I have shipped off 3 boxes of eggs; two to New York and one to Alabama (from Wisconsin). Not one of them was on time. The first one to NY took 6 business days. The...

    Hens running away from home?

    Earlier this afternoon, I was outside and saw Charlotte, a 10-month-old silkie hen, walking quickly between our yard and the farmer's field, headed for the road. I yelled at my hubby to look at that, where's she going all by herself? A rooster spotted her and made a beeline to chase after...

    Best compression gloves for aching hands

    Do any of you who do crafts like crocheting, painting, etc., have sore hands or arthritis and wear compression gloves? I type from home for a job and an old hand injury is starting to ache so I was thinking of buying some compression gloves, but looked on Amazon and there are so many choices...

    Vitamin/Probiotic Supplements for chicks

    For silkies, vitamin deficiencies are always a concern but my breeder says she only gives them Hydro Hen and doesn't bother with vitamins above their grower feed. Twice now, out of 20+ chicks of hers, two of them were twitching heads and jumpy. I used Nutra Drench in their water for one day...

    2-gallon heated nipple waterer on sale at Fleet Farm

    We use a DIY 5-gallon water bucket with nipples in our coop and it never freezes as our coop stays 40F all winter; however, we have a need for another water source for our outdoor breeding pen/temp coop that's going to start in February/March. Instead of making another 5-gallon nipple bucket...

    Integration Day - SUCCESS! So far!

    We've had 7 silkies living the opposite side of the yard since March. Now they are almost 5 months old and winter is coming so...we shut the door to their temp coop. I got the sunflower hearts bag out (ultimate treat) and got them down to the coop. Getting them into the chicken door took a...

    Silkie covered with waste oil.

    Last night, "Chewbacca," my mentally delinquent 4-month-old silkie, came flying into the garage and under the car my husband was under while changing oil, jumped into the oil pan, and became completely soaked in waste oil. We brought him in dripping with it and put him in the kitchen sink with...
