    What did you do in the garden today?

    I shoveled a path in the new 6+ inches of snow to the greenhouse to retrieve something. That's all I can do for now :D

    How much do you charge per dozen? And location

    $8 a dozen in Eagle River, AK... or anything someone wants to trade me! I've traded a dozen eggs for tomato starts, homemade apple butter, a fillet of sockeye salmon, someone shoveling the snow from my driveway for me, and so much more!

    Where to order online chicks for delivery soon?

    Hi! A friend that recently moved to the Casa Grande, AZ area is looking to add to her flock and is having a hard time finding chicks available locally until June. I looked around online and found a few that could ship in June as well. Is there anyone local to Casa Grande, AZ that would have...

    Countdown to Baby Chicks 2023 edition

    I did! I choose to get chicks from Polaris Poultry, because they fly them up to Alaska via same day air cargo vs it taking days through the mail. I have a total of 4 "color pack layers", 4 rhode island reds, 4 silver laced sussex, and 4 barred rocks ordered! My goal is to keep 6-7 for myself...

    Winter water suggestions

    I use this in Alaska and it works GREAT. No issues ever. I know it's not a solution to the waterer you want to use, but it's an easy, reliable option! https://alaskamillandfeed.com/shop/63840100/

    Hello from Eagle River, AK!

    Yes-- especially in the spring, fall, and winter. In the summer there's so much food for predators like eagles, hawks, and such, that the girls are safe roaming the whole backyard because they have lots of places to hide, but that will be shifting come fall and they'll have to stay in their...

    New layers & soft shell eggs under roost

    Hi! I have a mixed flock of Barred Rock, Sapphire Gems, and what was listed as "color pack layers" that hit 20 weeks old this week. I switched them to layer pellets at 18 weeks when the first few started laying, and have been providing oyster shells for the last week. They free range my 1/4...
