Ours are picky about their boxes also. Some lay in the nesting boxes that came with the coop and then I bought these nesting boxes pictured and placed them strategically around the yard to give them more options.
I'll link them if you like them...
I had a hen not lay in the nesting boxes and she keeps running away to lay her egg. 🤬 its frustrating.
I bought these extra nesting boxes and placed them strategically around the yard hoping it helps with her disappearing. They seem to attract their attention.
I'll attatch the link incase you...
My son loves to help our flock get some exercise 🤣
He runs through the yard with the tree at bag and it looks like it's straight from a cartoon with them chasing him. Makes for a good morning show with coffee.
I would soak the foot daily. About 10-15 minutes.
I had someone suggested to me an organic salve called "Prid" for bumble foot. Sold at most retail stores. The brand is Hylands. Its made to help draw out the infection. That or the suggested above antibiotic ointment and wrapping so that it...
Oh yes I remember that may. I thought I had put my winter coat away for good that season and had to get it back out it was so cold!
I am grateful this year for warmer Temps right now but it seems rain every other day so far.
I thought April showers were supposed to bring may flowers 🤔 guess...
We have had tons of rain in our growing zone. I am so sick of it also. I want to be outside enjoying the garden and my animals and the sun.
I don't water anything in the garden if it's going to rain. Free watering 🤷♀️
Big day in the garden.
All the pots and beds are filled up.
We have
Zuchinni? Squash, pickles, potatos, broccoli, carrots, jalapeños, beans, peas, onions, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, basil, thyme, peppermint, dill and of course a bunch of colorful flowers 💐
Goodmorning!!!
I'd thought I'd snap a picture so everyone could see what I was talking about.
This is what's going on with my asparagus right now.
Did I not cut them back enough? Are they dead?
And I wasn't sure if the green plants popping up were related to asparagus or not.
This is my...
Zone 6b Gardner here!
We have lots of stuff coming up and a few blossoms coming through.
Strawberry blossoms pictured. 🍓
Have a question for 6b peeps,
Have you had your asparagus come back up yet?
My plants would be second year crowns this year. Let them grow and fluff out last year and...
Oh this is my favorite feeling! Have a 10+ year old Toro that has started like a dream every spring. Just cut mine for the first time today this season!
I love the idea of a rain barrel but where our coop is and the size of our yard this wouldn't work for us. 😔
Thank you for the idea though. I'll be saving for when we move to a bigger property.
This is basically my set up, with a 1gal capacity for my 2 older ladies right now and it is consistently dirty. I have decided I am not a fan of this style and I don't like not being able to fill it from the top.
