    Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

    The forecast today is for rain later. Not a problem since we're only had about 1/4 inch all month of March and that's too dry. We need some warm and wet to get that deep frost out of the ground.

    Hello from iowa

    With all those chickens you're going to have a lot of eggs. Too bad you're probably not close enough to sell some to me...

    Rooster or no rooster?

    That makes a BIG difference.

    Rooster or no rooster?

    Someone in our small town had a rooster along with their chickens. They had a tall fence around their property and nobody knew about their flock but that stupid rooster kept crowing at 5 AM and nobody could figure out where that noise was coming from. As a result of the rooster poultry is not...

    I love the idea of cast-off screen door frames.

    Kinda cold there? Are you planning on getting chickens for real; or vicariously...like me?

    I think the amount of time the temperature has been above freezing in the month of February will easily be measured in hours instead of days. And when the temps are as low as they are, a little wind makes it feel like -20 to -30. It's just soul-grinding.

    Darn it sourland...be grateful for the warmth. Today's high here is forecast to be 6 degrees and snow for this evening. All I can do is go to work, have my coffee and live vicariously here on the site.

    Grass regrowth after chicken tractor moved

    We would have no more than 3 hens and the tractor would be lightweight with wheels so it could be moved around; but if we get a dry spell in summer (like we usually do) it doesn't matter where the tractor would be parked. The grass is going to turn brown and the cracks are going to open up in...

    Grass regrowth after chicken tractor moved

    There are no chickens in my backyard because my wife hates the idea of having bare patches of ground where the chicken tractor sits. I've seen some YouTube videos of the bare spots where others had their tractor parked and I wonder; how quickly does the grass usually grow back and what is the...

    New here

    Hi all...this is more a diversion for me than something I'll actually going to do. My #2 niece raises chickens and she offered to let us have three hens last year. I thought it was a great idea. My wife nixed the idea stating 1) chickens are noisy, 2) chickens are stinky, 3) eggs are...
