When the feathers start to fly And through the dust it’s hard to see Folks get on the fermented thread And then they write to Bee Help me with my chickens I don’t know what to do Just calm down child and listen To what Bee is telling you Her advice is sound and practical Like reading...

Some snakes might not hurt you, but they sure can make you hurt yourself!

Interesting. Do you think that as a dog matured in age this would help them with stiffness and mobility?

Thanks Bee and Armorfirelady (would be interested in knowing what that represents) Bee, once again very through and simple. I like the dirt. It is a lot like when we raised chickens when I was a kid. Appreciate the picture Armor as it proves the point. I currently have leaf litter in my...

Bee. I am thinking about building an new coop. I have one that is earthen for the floor. One that is elevated with a wooden floor. I saw some discussion on one of the threads about this. Not sure if it was this one or not. What is your opinion of the types and benefits of the one you like...

You folks in WV are missing out. If there are just a few folks that are in a reasonable distance to Bee, they should talk to the colleges or other groups that might sponsor something like this. It usually just takes a few to sign up for space to be allocated. If there is a WV thread, then...

I understand now Bee. thanks. You have given me more information than I asked for and ideas that will help set up a larger run. Some good stuff. One of the marks of a good teacher is that they not only answer the question, but expand the students mind with relative information. You do that...

If they are not free ranged, how would you feed? Are you saying that you would not just feed ff all the time and would alternate with dry feed. I do not free range mine at present due to the fact I live in a dry area and the grass dies over the summer and predators. I have 7 acres and it is...

I must be scentsitive. I do not mind the livestock smell. Other smell like markers, paint, cigarettes and perfumes are migraine triggers for some of us. Lost any respect for skunk scent when my dog startled one about two in the morning. The skunk squirted into the open bedroom window. Some...

Evidentally I have a different type of skunk here and buy a different kind of coffee.

Have a huge one in my front yard. Taller than I am. Has beautiful yellow flowers earlier in the year. Make jelly out of the tuna and it is very good. The juice has a beautiful color.

delisha, on the BLRW thread says that she uses everything when she butchers. She cooks the intestines and cuts them in smaller pieces before she feeds them. I think she said she cut them up to keep the dogs from running away with them and to make it easier for the chickens to eat. Don't know...

So, Bee if one were using the one bucket, then it would be better to have 2 buckets going at the same time and feed one out and refill and go to the second one to get greater advantage of the fermentation? I knew a fellow that died very wealthy. One day he was riding the tractor in the field...

I have been fermenting about a week now. It is going well. All ages seem to like it. My little chicks seem to go crazy over it. When I put it out they come running. I am using the one bucket method and was using a stick to stir it. I found out the perfect thing to use. I have a cheap...

Thank you for the video Bee.

I have family in Tn. If I ever visit there again, I sure would like a cup of coffee.

Honestly, I have stood at a lot of caskets and thought about the knowledge that was lost. The appreciation would come from those who are older and could relate somewhat to the things many of us went through. Some of us did not wish for $500 shoes, but for some cardboard to put in the bottom...

I have it recorded in my head. I lived it.

I have no idea what ALETAG was saying under where she quoted me. The response definitely did not fit what I wrote. Oh well, this cowboy will stop staring and move on to his chickens.

Very well said. It is a battle of values. When my mother worked in the fields, cared for livestock and split wood, she would have been glad to have an offer of help. It is not a sign of disrespect when someone offers to help. Male or female. When a woman offers to help me, I say yes and...
