I hear ya on the coon situation, my father in law and his brother between them (their properties join up) have dispatched over 20 of the bandits. And neither of them have poultry. That's just from the small dish of cat food they have out and sweet corn in the garden. Its unreal!!! I'm glad I...
Found this today when I was out walking around the property. They were planted last year.
To me and my family its the first real sign of spring and I thought to share them with all my Michiganders on here who probably could use a confirmation that spring is almost here!
No I LOVE Vernors. Its the combination that Vernors and custard was that was vile. I drink Vernors all the time its hands down my favorite drink. And yes I love my Faygo too.
And can you get a Boston Cooler anywhere else? (Vernors and ice cream shake for those who've never had one)
If you don't know what that at least IS....Ill be happy to point you to your nearest Michigan Welcome Center and you can reread what you obviously have overlooked. Those are the ABSOULTE...
Ready for the snow. I don't mind it at all. 2 inches or 222 inches Im good. Snow's never bothered me. I only start get concerned when they talk about ice storms. Ive responded in enough of those already. But then I like the 4 seasons we have. Id love a longer growing season but then again...
Any 4H folks on here? I know there's gotta be a few of you out there. Whats the starting age to exhibit/participate? I know we've got a few years it got me wondering....
No offense but after losing the 2nd hen, that roo would be the 3rd dead bird not another hen. Olive's right....set a date to have the issue resolved by or he's got a dinner date and you bring the noodles.
I can hear the garden already calling to me....I'm anxious to get my hands in the dirt!
I love our 4 seasons, I don't want to live anywhere else but with the things we want to try growing this year I'm really anxious for spring.
Jared, may I suggest Black Krim? They're vigorous plants that thrive even in adverse conditions; beautiful, decent sized fruits; nice yield; easy to find in both plants and seeds -- even locally -- and superb taste. My favorite black variety.
I had those on the list, along with Cherokee...
Congrats on the rabbit wins. Thats great to hear.
Im still putting the final touches on our garden orders.
New things this year for us are going to be a container of "black" or "chocolate" cherry tomatoes and a larger sized "black" or "chocolate" tomato variety too. First year doing pole...
On the topic of cold how many folks insulate their coops? Mines still in the design phase thats why I ask. Plan on caulking all the seams to help cut drafts but wondered about insulation.
If its swollen and itchy its an infection. Benedryl will only treat the itching you need to get on some antibiotics to clear it up. If you develop any flu like symptoms or start seeing redness or streaking up your arm get to ER and get some antibiotics ASAP. Keep a close eye on it this is...
Took a spike this AM, father in law got a doe. Brother in law took a 5pt this evening and I think there is another doe or two take this evening as well. This is between 2 properties and 6 hunters. So far so good.
Maybe its Miller, I've never used them I was just reposting off a thread in the meat forum. They said Meyer so thats what I went with.
Olive do you know if Bellinger will do them? I can always call just wasn't sure if you knew. I've been by there enough times just haven't ever used them...
Thank you for the breed info. I didn't even know that was an option on this site. That is really cool and thank you for doing that and thank you to whoever put that together. Egg production is fine its just not a priority for us thats all I was trying to get across in my initial post. We've...
Hello and thought Id drop in on this one;
Was told to post this here so here goes......
Found this site when I was looking for more information on breeds of chickens. I'm looking for more information because my wife and I have decided to tractor raise some meat birds. My wife grew up in a...
