    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    I've never roasted radishes, but I've heard they're good. What's the verdict, Jim? And, do they pair well with homemade wine? Lisa, I also think wolves are fascinating. Many years ago, I was at a wildlife park in South Dakota that has a pack of wolves. I was mesmerized when the alpha wolf...

    I think my chicken is saved because I made him shoes to protect his feet

    Very impressive footwear! Is this a house chicken or just visiting indoors?

    wonderful to meet everyone

    It's devastating to lose chickens to predators. Three of my first four were killed one night by a mink. Not only will your daughter grieve her loss, but so will Ginga. It's traumatizing for her to see her flock mates killed. My remaining girl from that first flock was skittish for quite a...

    I have to admit that I didn't really know what a box blade looked like. So, I Googled it. Kinda scary looking, Jim. Glad you got it working to its better potential! How's the wine-making going? Lisa, is Trixie's puppy energy wearing you out? After all my old dogs, I wasn't ready for how...

    Don't know how soon you're interviewing, so I will address those questions now. Remember, when someone has a job opening, they have a problem that needs to be solved. You are the solution! If asked, "Why do you want this job?" I would recommend saying you want it because you admire law...

    Orpingtons are wonderful birds! One of my first hens was a Buff Orp; she was an absolute delight who always came running when she heard me call, "Where's my fine hen?" This is an incredible community of knowledgeable folks who will be happy to share what they know, offer support when you're...

    All of the house issues sound overwhelming! It's upsetting when you think you have everything under control and something else shows up that needs repair. Maybe I'm projecting because I'm feeling overwhelmed these days, mostly with medical stuff with critters but also because of an upcoming...

    Jim, bet those peppers and tomatoes from the garden elevated your pepper steak into Five Star eats! As a kid, I hated having to go into the garden and pick veggies; now, I realize how much better my home-grown stuff is! Lisa, I hope Trixie stays small, but I know you'll love her no matter what...

    Just discovered your thread this morning. There's some mighty nice photos of poultry and produce -- and an occasional curious cat!

    I will be thrilled if Goo only has an abscess. I've never been that lucky in the past. ONE of the reasons I prefer the Lake City hospital -- which is about three times as far away as the Fort Dodge one -- is that appointments there always start on time. I arrived in radiology at 8:55 for my 9...

    Ah, the mention of pin curls brings back memories of a childhood spent with dozens of bobby pins poking my scalp as I tried to sleep. Despite the natural wave and curl in my hair, my mother --who grew up when pageboys were highly popular -- believed I would benefit from having tightly wrapped...

    Hurray! Sounds like Trixie is learning the ropes in her new home and will be established as part of the pack very soon. And, is giving you a break from carrying her on the stairs -- also very good!! Yesterday, I fully expected the vet to say I needed to put Goo down and did a lot of preparatory...

    Congrats on the driveway project, Jim. :thumbsup I hope Trixie is finding her place in the pack and making you smile, Lisa. One of my dogs has always made it her chore to keep Goo's face clean. Last night, Dinah was licking and licking the cat's face. When she stopped, I spotted blood on the...

    Can a chicken be kept alone?

    I am sorry that your boy lost his companion. I'm glad you're getting some practical considerations regarding indoor chickens. Dottie has been a lone indoor chicken for six years. I tried to integrate her into other flocks but because she had been harassed by larger, more aggressive meat birds...

    Greeting, I’ve just joined the forum

    My condolences on your brother's passing, and I'm sorry that was what eventually brought you to BYC. Despite the circumstances, you and your flock are welcome here. Thanks for joining. No idea about the "warts," I've never dealt with anything like those. But, I'm sure someone will have the...

    Wyrd Sisters (the Discworld chickens)

    How horrible to lose your beautiful Aliss! I am so sorry. I'm sure she felt your presence as she left this world, and you'll certainly feel absence far into the future. Take care.
