Very welcome. Without starting a political argument look at our nation. From the outside looking in we may be perceived as being extremely one way or another. However, if you were to actually sit down and talk to people you will find there are more similarities than differences.
I reject this and I am exploring all legal options to change this outcome...😂🤪 ( Just in case its not coming through, my tongue in firmly planted in my cheek!)
Congrats to all the winners and everything looks so amazing!
THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS. I mean no disrespect to anyone's beliefs. I went from Catholic to not believing in anything to Evangelical/Non Demonational.
I am now for lack of a better term, a Druid as much as one can be in today's world.
I felt that the judgment and fear that is the basis of many...
Thank you so much for the advice. I have worked with cattle panels in the past. My plan is to reinforce the walls in spots to resist the outward pressure. I will use diagonal braces inside each section and at the corners.

The are only an hour away from me anx I am hoping to go pick them up instead of having them shipped. I have always gotten mine from a farm store before and had poor luck with the last two flocks as had others. I am...
12 with the goal of 10 or 11. I alway tend to figure one chick will fail to thrive. Usually the runt. At least in my experience. I hate it but its how it usually goes for me.
I am getting back into chickens as I've mentioned before. I have had great success in the past with Australorps and ISA Browns. I had very little success with Americaunas.
I am thinking of getting ISA Browns and Black sex links for my next flock.
I live in eastern Iowa and the will be in a...
