Quote: Welcome! I grew up in Wayne Co. and would come home from school and buy Smith's cottage cheese and meat from Marshalsville (when I could afford it ).

Quote: I-O! Sounds like you're close to us, we're in Morrow Co.

I think the hard rains might be gone for a while! What a mess. We're going to raise a few meat birds this year, what are your favorites? And why?

What's a poop board? If I was on that board, I'd vote NO poop in the coop! Sorry, I'm a little tired this morning

Okay, I have 4 EEs Thanks for the clarification!

Quote: Dumb question here...could you tell me what are Easter Eggers? Are they Americaunas? I have 4 that lay blue/green eggs and, well, I guess I don't know what they are!

I don't know what's going on around here but our girls are laying like crazy! Up until 2 wks ago we'd get maybe 6 or 7 eggs a day (from 17? hens) and now we're getting 12 or more. It's colder than a witches t*t, we haven't changed any feed, the water freezes overnight. What gives?! I finally...

Our hens pulled the cord out of their heater. The heated base for the waterer isn't enough so now we have frozen water and chilly birds! Hopefully the heat lamp helps tonight, it isn't supposed to be as cold tonight as it was last night. Brrrrr!

Ours have been out about 1or 2 days/month. I feel so bad for them! A couple weeks ago, when we had that warm day, we were all outside and the chickens finally ventured out and up to the house. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time-watching them try to run on the icy driveway was insane! Do...

Quote: Love it! Not the freezing water though!

Quote: Not a close neighbor (Ross County) but I am ready for spring. However, I reminded DW it is 2 months until spring is officially here. Should have seen the look I got and it's a good thing you didn't hear her remarks. I have 15 mixed birds 2 of which are roosters and one pig on my...

Quote: I'm very interested in the pop can furnace, did you buy instructions, or were they online?

Hi all, I don't really know where else to turn with this odd topic! We have a fairly small yard (almost 2 acres), on which we let our girls free range. The majority of our trees are ash. We don't have any Emerald Ash Borers yet but we know they're coming. We're trying to come up with a game...

Quote: That's just horrible! I'm pretty sure weasels do live all over Ohio. Have you called your OSU extension office or your local ODNR office? We lost one last week, she just disappeared so I figured it was a red tailed hawk. I called the ODNR office and the guy I spoke with has lost 2...

Do you all buy your pullets locally or order them? I'm getting ready to start thinking about preparing for (haha, no commitment here) adding to our flock. I would love to get some araucanas, love the eggs and someone told me they are cold-hardy. Any thoughts or suggestions?

We're in Morrow Co. and we're just trying to keep the water and eggs from freezing!
