I just wanted to wish everybody a SAFE AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING !

Bee, you know you're my hero! I would be afraid that old possum would bite me and give me his stinky disease! I was gonna tell you'll about my killer bee experience this weekend while processing turkeys, but now it sounds so lame, after the possum...

Dragonlady, you have good eyes, I did not notice the sprig until you mentioned it. I DO have BAD eyes, for sure!

I think Bee must be out taking her 6 yr. olds trick or treating, right now !

I think Priority, they are tomorrow's hatch, but maybe they will give you a "RAIN" check?

And I thought all the unwanted pets were brought to my street and turned loose to eat MY CHICKENS?

Meyers is still having their surplus broiler special going, but because of having to get rid of them, with Sandy coming, the shipping is FREE, also, if anyone is interested.

whatever happens in CA will spread accross the Country. That is true and most trends that come out of CA are not for the good, so when one is, we should support it !

Sometimes I forget how nice it is to live in a very small town, on a dead end street with a private road, on 5 acre plots, 1/2 mile from a major interstate, to get anywhere I want to be in a hurry, but far enough away to be isolated from traffic. Maybe that's why whenever people visit they stay...

If you use mulch, it not only keeps the ground cool, weeds down and needs less watering, it also keeps the moisture in the garden more stable, so the plants grow better.

And they wrote books on how to get 200 eggs a year from a chicken, but today anything under 300 we consider a CULL !

That reminds me, I still have a sack of winter rye grass to plant in the back acre for the chickens this winter, as the temps are dippin into the 60's this week, in the good old south. And next week I'll order a sack of field corn to plant come mid February!.

I don't use a litter box and would not have one inside the house. My 2 cats have a cat/dog door and are housebroken. They use the area as far away from the house and still on their property as possible. We showed the dogs where their property ends and the dogs keep the property line well marked...

The American Indians planted a corn, a squash and a legume (bean or pea) in the same hole with a trash fish or fish head for fertilizer. The corn supported the legume vine, the squash plant provided shade to preserve water loss and the legume pulled nitrogen out of the air for the other 2.

Tn the South, we call dent corn, field corn, opposed to sweet corn for fresh eating. Field corn is dried and then ground into corn meal for corn bread or finer for fish-fry or seafood frying. Finer yet into corn flour for masa, for tortias or tamales. It is a lot more starch and a lot less sugar...

Yeah, and lots of meat in the freezer when I get them fattened. I don't want to pen them in the barn with water, they're too messy, for that. I have 10x10 chain link dog kennels, where I fatten extra roosters and turkeys and this summer any hen that doesn't give my at least 300 eggs a year. But...

Since my corn is not GMO, according to Mountain Mama's info, I didn't think the cracked corn in the feed store scratch grains would be, but the birds don't go for it like the oats and whole corn, so I looked this morning and it is GMO and most of the bag this time is cracked corn, too! I think I...

What about the wheat flour your bread store makes it's bread from? Did you think about that. Most of Wally world's fruit has 4 digets and no taste. I try to buy locally grown fruit or grow my own !

I told ya those bad animals sometimes just gotta go ! I have seen hawks very cunning, breaking into coups that you would not expect they would fly and squeeze under over and around an obstacle to KILL very savagely. Very nasty sight, a chicken being tortured by a hawk, but much much worse a...
