    introducing myself

    Congrats on getting back into chickena! It's always good to meet new members who have experience with chickens that they can share with the community. I know nothing about asil roosters, but I'm sure that there are folks here who do and will be happy to chat about them. Welcome to BYC!

    New Member--excited to join!

    Sounds like you're a kindred spirit! Goats are the reason I moved to the country, and chickens were the first critters I added after I moved. Welcome to BYC to you and all of yours!

    We occasionally had venison, but my dad used to go to Colorado every October to hunt elk. Mom's best method of cooking it was in the oven with some potatoes, a brown gravy and Lipton's dry onion soup mix sprinkled on it. Yesterday was just as windy as predicted. I had to gather up the lower...

    Do I look fat from this angle?

    Mr. Red is gorgeous! And, your other boy is quite handsome, too, despite the unflattering camera angle :)

    Eva’s Friends

    Enjoyable photos, as usual. My favorite this time is Annie dashing through the snow! Glad you could get your doctor's appointment over and done while you are still home. Those exams are always so unpleasant. Is Constance doing okay? There's been an uncharacteristically warm spell of weather...

    I'm pondering the possibility of Jim and Annie doing the can-can -- maybe while processing their tomatoes?!? Any idea what kind of tomatoes DD Barb might bring to you? @Rillowen, good luck with the Amish paste tomatoes. I always hope to get Cherokee Purple and whatever other heirlooms I can...

    New member and new chicken mama

    As someone who's had the "surprise" rooster chick and who's also ended up raising a hen chick in the house (long story, but she never integrated into a flock), I greatly enjoyed your introduction. It's sad about the mom an sibling, but thank goodness you rescued one chick. I hope Momo knows...

Folks here will be happy to help you, to share their knowledge and offer advice and support however they can. Ask away...

    People who don't have chickens don't realize how much drama they bring to everyday life -- along with a lot of good stuff, too, thank goodness :) Congrats on Polka using the main egg box!

    So glad to hear good news about Annie and Samantha! I'm guessing there's a specialist in North Carolina who has experience with the surgery Samantha needs? I didn't even know that type of transplant was possible but looked it up yesterday after I read your post. Thank goodness there's a donor...

    How horrible!! I hope a donor is found and soon. All of my best thoughts and wishes for her. Thanks for the info on onions. I will try planting seeds, too. But, we know I am terrible at growing anything from seed.

    I bought onion sets from the local plant nursery.

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    The onions I planted last year looked promising, but the end result was a lot of under-sized yellow onions, maybe as big around as a quarter. Still, I dug them up and have been using them. When I planted flower seeds in the plastic jugs, I noticed that four of the tiny onions were sprouting...

    I guess we'll see if Polka appreciates your gratitude and again chooses the Eglu :)

    I just discovered your thread today, and I am totally enjoying it! You have such characters in your flock and great, detailed descriptions of their behaviors. You clearly adore these lovely feathery creatures! I panicked a bit when I first read about chickens who roosted in stumps. I was...

    Getting back with a flock

    Congratulations on the great rural life you and Destiny are enjoying! Landseers are such beautiful dogs -- all that size and incredible markings, too. I hope when you get additional chickens, you'll let us know. I'm sure you're right that the youngest family members will be thrilled with fuzzy...

    It's a good thing I read and re-read the instructions because I didn't initially notice that direction to punch holes near the top of the jug. Of course, Seed Savers didn't say how many holes or how large they should be, so I will consider it a success if Anything survives!

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    I forgot to mention that after talking about starting seeds outdoors in milk jugs in the winter literally for YEARS, I actually started some on Sunday. Using Seed Savers advice as a guide, I planted four jugs of flower seeds: two perennials (Purple Coneflower and Black-eyed Susan) and two...
