    Prayers for bok

    Bok is my favorite chicken. I hand raised her & she's the sweetest chicken I've ever met. Today my cousin brought over his new dog, a border collie. We played frisbee in the field for over an hour. I had noticed that the chickens had wandered out to the field. I immediately got my cousin to...

    Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update - since keeping the chickens in their tractors I haven't lost another one. They were definitely getting into something bad - I may not ever find out what it was. Just happy the rest are ok now.

    I'm recycling my feed bags!! **PICS**

    Quote: I think it's fun to 'free hand' no rules. lol. besides if you mess up you get to be creative & fix it with what you have left. I am using and outdoor thread - thats UV resistant. I think it's for sewing out door furniture cushions or something. Its pretty heavy duty.

    Coop about to go off grid

    neato - I have something similar. a security light from harbor freight. It has a motion sensor so i can see when I get wood out of the shed - next to the coop. Mine is kinda wacky though, I need to look at it. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't. I still like it. I've always wanted to...
