Lovely birds

CREAM OF WHEAT COOKIES These cookies bake at 325 Deg F or 160 Deg C. for 15-20 mins until light brown. These are great with a hot cup of chocolate or cold milk. You can also add raisins or nuts to this if you like. 2 oz soft butter 1 large egg or 2 tbsp yogurt 3/4 cup icing sugar 3/4 cup...

Set up another hanging planter nest today since the hens seem to love them. Been getting eggs since I set up the first one. I put wood eggs in them. Seems to be working as a nesting option while we tear down and rebuild stuff.

Okay tried this but made changes… so first original recipe I found on Facebook CREAM OF WHEAT COOKIES These cookies bake at 325 Deg F or 160 Deg C. for 15-20 mins until light brown. These are great with a hot cup of chocolate or cold milk. You can also add raisins or nuts to this if you like...

Cull hard obviously is the moral of the story. It’s true though. I definitely won’t be hatching chicks. I might put an order in kids want a few Sultans again, out of the breeds they were super friendly, but my gosh predator attractors… they will have to be penned every Top Hat gets killed, just...

I know. Your right. I’ve got a mixed flock but the two Rhode Island breeds even if not SOP are doing well

Partway there, hopefully if weather is good tomorrow I can get old privacy screen stuff torn down and put in the big pile away from the area, the n start dragging the big metal panels into the area and start building. I will see how it goes when I get off work tomorrow what I get done.

Here is how I do it I create a space the new birds will be safe in. That could be a pen, small coop, kennel etc, then place that in or around were the established flock is. Obviously food, water and cleaning of this smaller enclosure will be needed. However this allows the two groups to see each...

I agree noise can be a thing even from hens. I actually have placed coops and runs on pavers and bricks as a predator prevention. Plus that’s a nice level area for coop and pen build. The advice other folks gave is solid on keeping the area clean and smell down. I am in the middle of rebuilding...

I also want to plant a variety of sweet potatoes this year and purples are on the list

Ok those are cool just texted hubby. Hopefully I can get him to order them. Those might work awesome in the backyard

Starting to plan out the things I need to replace, lime and apple for sure. Upright Rosemary. All my Lavender varieties, total loss there. Pretty sure the CA Poppies too. Replant onions, potatoes and garlic. Herbs… fennel, thyme, savory, oregano… I am hoping the lemon balm made it, haven’t...

Good to know as I am considering getting some chicks ordered

Well new pen shifted into what we think will be its permanent spot. We can start outfitting it now, and making it Fort Knox. Second broken coop broken up, we may recycle some sections as trellises and yard art on the fences. The third baby coop along with scavenged poultry/bird wire stacked...

I will have to try this once the Oatmeal Cookies are done.

No but I’ve been wanting to try it. I know folks who have and it seems to work.

That’s cool.

Yikes

Well we have successfully torn down the big coop (all my coops are damaged) and built a medium pen. Today the goal is tear down medium coop, build large pen, build new medium coop.

One of the happy notes from yesterday’s work is the White Sage plot did not get crushed, and looks great. One of the fruit trees we planted last year did make it… bummer side, big Apple tree went down and crushed the lime tree so both will have to be replaced. Will need to move the soil in...
