I don't do big crowds. Never have liked being surrounded by lots of people. I went to the KS State Fair a couple times with a group from work, but didn't get to see many of the livestock because they were mostly cleared out by the time we went. Last time I was there was 9-11, and believe me the...

We had a wonderful rain for a couple hours this evening. It came from the NE and what we got was a steady straight down good rain. We are soo very thankful and blessed!!

Quote: Oh!! I want a green house and lots of raised gardens! I dream of a greenhouse too!!!!!!!! Have for years. When we had all our house windows replaced a couple yrs ago I didn't let anything left intact be thrown away. I harbor some hope yet.

I'd love to have neighbors with similar interests. Chickens, gardens, woodworking, baking, blah blah blah. It gets lonely sometimes!! Any chance of a Fall get together I heard/saw mentioned somewhere?? Okay, I haven't gotten around to posting pics of my ducks yet but might later today. Back...

Quote: That's good to know, AND I know them! Garnett is only about 10 miles from me. I'm thinking about raising some chickens for meat in the spring, but don't want to learn to process them unless I absolutely HAD to.

Here's a duck question fer ya. If I let my ducks out to wander the yard during the day are the likely to eat my petunias and other annuals in my flower beds and pots? Cause if so I won't be letting them loose to roam. That's the reason I stopped letting my chickens free range in the evenings. I...

Quote: I bought the mid sized kiddie pool for my ducks. I drain and refill it twice a week. After a few days even they don't want to go near it. I have red bricks around one side for them to get in and half a dozen inside to help them get out. They LOVE the thing! Not sure what I'll do during...

My 7 ducks are in a coop next to my chicken house with a 10' x 10' enclosed run, and have been for some time. Renee, I hope to have pics uploaded soon as I still don't know their breeds, except the one Pekin. I know I didn't get the runners I hoped for. Hopefully next year. I wanted to be able...

Have a duck question today. I don't remember exactly when I got my ducklings, but they're enough big now that two have gotten the curly male tail feathers. I want to be able to turn them out into the yard some but haven't clipped their feathers yet. Are they old enough at say 5-6 months?

Quote: Did you order baby chicks? I went down and talked to my post office and they were against it and told me not to order yet. I'm very impatiently waiting until the PO deems it safe to ship. What and where did you order??? I'm considering Meyers Hatchery. It's 110 here now. Bleah...

I just came from my pool. I went out this morning to do my chores and got so hot and sweaty I told my granddaughter "get your suit on we're getting in the pool". It's 4:00 pm and we only got out to eat sandwiches then snacks later at poolside and back in we went. Nothing more to do outside until...

Of course I just found it............ Never mind. Ü

Where exactly is Ozawkie, KS? Searching the state map.

I really feel for you. I got my index finger in my table saw a few years ago and man did it hurt.

Quote: Hi There, I'm interested in getting a few Guineas for bug control/help. Question is, can I put them in with my ducks or would they have to have their own coop? I have 7 6-7 wk old ducks and a big duck house. I'm over by Princeton, very near Central Heights school. How old are your keets?

Myabcs3, I just feel that since my coop is a little over full right now and the girls have been pecking on each other during winter it might not be a good surroundings for hatching and raising chicks. My hubby thinks I'm being silly, although he isn't saying exactly that. He's giving me the...

Quote: In my opinion the weather man shouldn't have BEEN talking about dead people laying in the streets. He should be reporting the weather conditions and urging viewers to be taking shelter. He should be reporting in a way that helps/encourages his viewers to remain calm and do what they...

Okay, I think one of my hens has gone broody. She's not wanting to leave the nest and has tried to "peck my husband to death" (his words) when he gathered the eggs two days in a row. I've gotten the eggs from under her, just two each day and then nothing yesterday or today. I don't know what to...

We were blessed that the bad weather went around us. Our daughter called from down the road encouraging us to come down and take shelter in their basement, but we watched the weather on TV and decided we would be okay. Only had a light wind all night and not a drop of rain. Glad to know that our...

Boy, I hope my chickens will get all those feathers back soon. They are one pitiful looking bunch!
