You're welcome! I personally prefer the unfiltered honey but I love the non-invasiveness of harvesting from these flow hives. They were developed by a father/son team in Australia. I'm not sure how they'd hold up in our climate but here's the link to their site and I see they're also selling...

My family kept bees when I was little, using my great grandfather's old hives. We had many hives for a couple of years before losing them. I don't remember what we lost them to but I would love to try again. I remember it being such a process, with the suit and smoker, etc. and especially...

I missed this question before. You know I share your love of Doms. I also loved my Golden Spangled Hamburg. They're great layers, free-rangers; they do fly really well and would take to the trees when there was any threat on the ground (which I really liked) and the first to sound the...

I just did a quick search; there's one place in Clinton listed on the Livestock Conservancy site that offers hatching eggs of several heritage breeds and other breed specific sites with their own directories.

I don't give artificial heat/light so my flock has the winter off from laying but they should start up by then. I've sent you a pm with more details.

I will have Dominique hatching eggs in the spring and am in the mid-coast area.

The Barnevelder is a breed that has caught my eye as well. I'm trying to avoid adding any more birds with straight combs but of all the photos of them I've seen, the hens' combs look considerably smaller than those of other dark brown egg layers. I'm curious to know how they compare as well. If...

I know this post is a few weeks old but a few years ago I got 2 EEs and a Golden Spangled Hamburg from them. I really liked the quality of the birds and had a great bond with them (I lost one because she was egg bound and another to a hawk) but I had to work for that. Their chicks are raised...

I did check out the link you posted and saw that the signals can overlap with multiple transmitters. I really like the concept. I have certain areas where I want the new dog to go and certain areas I don't and fencing in the area I want him to be would make trouble for propane deliveries and...

Thanks for responding! I will have to look into these. Our new adopted dog has more than a few behavioral issues and taking off is one of them and I don't want to put up intrusive or permanant fencing. Curious about how well the transmitters will work in the winter... It seems the efforts...

It poured here the last two nights. We got mostly thunder and less than an inch of rain the first night but more than twice that last night. Finally. LG, is it a collar with a remote or a different type, like underground fencing? I think I'm confused when you say you "cut the...

Mostly thunder here. It poured on and off but within a minute or two of it stopping each time, the ground was dry again.

Have you tried having her around the flock yet with the e-collar or are you still in the "getting her used to it" phase of training? *Best of luck with the flock vs. hawk today!

@MistyMae 19 weeks is close to the time many girls will begin. You may have said earlier but what breeds do you have? Dual purpose take longer to develop and if that's what you have, you may have another few weeks to go. That said, could you uncover the boxes during the day and cover them...

It sprinkled here on the coast all afternoon but not enough to saturate anything. We've had a few downpours that last only a few minutes over the last week but again, not enough to do much of anything. This morning is too foggy to see the water but it's beginning to burn off. When I got up, I...

I would definitely cover the boxes back up for a little while longer. Especially if no one is showing signs of laying yet.
