I heard that chicken fence is amazing too. Plan to get some when I start my next flock.
Rancher, if I had a home already and knew the rulings I might take a couple of those babies off your hand - too far to go.
Renee: I think they must have X-rayed those poor eggs - not a one hatched and...
Horsekeeper:
I would recommend that when you dig your wire in that you add some heavy gravel to deter additional digging. My husband staked our fencing into the ground with fencing and then with 6 inch pieces of bent heavy wire every foot - we then put heavy stone and larger rocks around the...
Oh that is just soooo sad! I had two sets of quail this year that didn't fare to well either. A bunch didn't hatch, then some hatched at "odd" times - some at day 17 and some of the same group at day 27....literally weird. had a couple that were fully formed but just didn't hatch all the way...
Hey There!
Sorry, Sorry Sorry! I have been chasing my tail since I got back from NC House Hunting! All the inspections are finally done, they forgot one the day they did everything else. I guess everything else is done. Surgery on Tuesday for my shoulder so I'll be out of commission for six...
Actually Rancher is Asian Countries Silkies are prized for their black legs something about the skin and are supposed to have a richer meat (?) and special healing powers for the weak - no not weak of mind..... I can't remember the whole dealio I'd have to look it up and no I haven't been...
Don't you just love Psycho Chicks!!!!???? I had some of them - thank goodness they calmed down after they got a bit older and of course "mom" bringing them worms has been very very popular. I come outside now and it's a cheep fest for worms at the fence. I haven't let them out to forage yet -...
Oh yeah she's broody! Find some eggs from someone - of course I have not idea if anyone on this site has any available snicker, haaaa haaaa
Okay, survived the storm - it wasn't bad here until about 1:30 in the morning - some of the creepiest Thunder I have ever heard in the way it rumbled...
GGrrrrrrrrr! Went through a bunch of my eggs before they go into lockdown tomorrow and found that a bunch just had not developed at all or had only made it to maybe day 3-7 and then just stopped. Very annoying but not too surprised! That is what happens when you try to hatch shipped eggs from...
Happy Easter to all as well! Chickens are good but the pens are muddy. Sun went away and it has cooled off a little with the showers we're getting....sigh. There better be a LOT of May flowers this year!
Muggs: I would LOVE some peonies and Bee Balm I have some Red and Lavender in and...
Awwww you poor babies! Hope you all feel better and KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES!
Sorry I missed last night! Not in bed until after 1:30 am and then laid there planning the morning....10 minutes for making the bed and cleaning up the MBR, 10 min to clean up the LR, blah blah - that's part of the...
Muggs When you get up in the morning you're gonna kill me
I got a call from my lovely Realtor at 10:00 tonight letting me know that he spoke to the Realtor that had cancelled the appt and she called him back and told him she had NOT cancelled the appt what did he mean it was cancelled. I...
Happy: They won't let me work anymore right now - not sure if I'm happy or sad about it - it took me a whole year to get used to not working after 30 plus years of working. Don't worry we'll honk the snot out of the car to get your attention!
After I see Meagan I'll get groceries and go...
Meagan and I will be metting tomorrow about 11:30 so we can honk along the way if it helps - or maybe we can stop and google at your chickens!
I don't need anymore birds but man the last ones I got from Muggs were amazing - I pretty much cried when I had to get rid of most of the Roos - they...
U R the Best and too funny! Do they actually develop little white sparkly mystical horns later on that are hidden by their poofs???? Careful I might actually believe you! I would have loved more Orpie eggs I had the best time unwrapping everyone. I still can't believe I didn't figure...
Meagan:
Are we meeting tomorrow morning by 10:00 or Friday by 2:30 - I'm getting myself confused so you just let me know.
Hands off the ducklings (Trish) Sister!!!! Just kidding I would really love them but if you feel you want them more I won't cry and I will be okay without them...
Hi Muggs! I'll be there - did we decide on a time? Sorry been busy with the house, dinner, cleaning and making muffins for the darling husband for his lunch snacks for the week the last couple of hours. I'm game for the chicks. I just went out and bought another one of those expensive metal...
I hear that they have everything at that auction, never been though! Would love to take birds but will be in NC by then or at least traveling then to look at homes.
Thanks Trish! "If I only had a brain" plays in the background for me somedays. I do have to admit sometimes if I'm being a bit too over the top but I do love reading everything on this site and I enjoy posting to it as well. It really helps keep me out of the doldrums.
I haven't written a...
