    fuzzi's Chicken Journal

    I am in the southern USA in eastern NC. In the small grocery store I usually shop in I see very little kale. I mostly see mustards and collards. Sometimes I see a bagged variety of kale that appears to be white Russian. In the chain grocery stores I've also noticed some curly types. In the...

    Collard plants can get big! Very hardy too. I used to start them late winter. They would grow all year and by the following spring set seed. The plants would be huge. Now I plant them late summer. The bugs are bad in the summer and love leafy greens. Growing them through fall and winter I...

    I don't understand it either. In my flock it doesn't appear to be age related. I have birds from 6 months to 11 years. Some do it, some don't. They all seem to get their fill.

    I think chickens have a "no hills" rule. They can spread a hill of leaves in no time. Same with the collard leaves. They were grabbing a leaf and running off with them. A chicken running off with a whole leaf is pretty funny! I think some have learned to put their foot on it to hold it while...

    :fl I hope so too! I have about 30 collard plants and a few cabbage. The collards usually do okay. I went ahead and picked a bunch on Saturday. I sent some to my aunt, some for us and bucket of bottom leaves for the chickens. They helped started helping themselves. :lau They do love greens...

    Your 2025 Garden

    Our home is a modular. They had over a hundred floor plans to look at. The company built them as they were ordered. You could make any changes to the floor plan you wanted which was different than most other companies we talked to at the time. You could extend room sizes in 16" increments...

    So cold. The wind howled last night after dark. Thankfully all trees are still upright. Chickens came out and headed for the sunny side.

    Your 2025 Garden

    We have a full bath in the center of our house. It has no exterior wall. No windows, it has an exhaust fan. It is also our safe room for extreme hurricanes or tornados. We do not hear water running, flushing or shower running from other rooms. Can only hear if you are standing outside the...

    Your 2025 Garden

    All our outside lines are insulated with foam then covered with fiberglass. They are then wrapped with plastic. One spigot near the well that sits out alone also has a bucket over it. Everything at the well is wrapped the same. There is a thermostatically controlled heat light that helps...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    When my brother did this I was a teen so I had to help Mom with the vacuuming. It would have been around 1979. We moved a couple years later. I'll bet when the carpet was replaced they found more. Those beads static stick to your skin. You can't get them off! 🤣

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    My little brother did this when he was about 9 yrs old. He climbed up on his upper bunk and came down hard on his bean bag chair. Those tiny pellets went everywhere! Looked like it snowed in his room. Needless to say Mom was not pleased.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    That's what I was seeing. Limping, not moving around much, not dust bathing very often. They didn't eat as well either. When I started giving them a little heat on the coldest nights and added the curtains, they started coming outside more. They eat better too and just act more like a happy...

    Need input - would this mix + Kalmbach work?

    I have never had silkies so I didn't really look closely but noticed this at the feed store.
