sure sad to hear everyone's losses! why is it always the prized/favorite that get's the bad luck? poor dears..
all the predator activity makes me wonder if winter will be worse than last year, maybe they're trying to prep?
Tikkijane winters are not at all what you think they will be! 15 years ago I moved here from SE Texas in November and was greeted by sun and t-shirt weather. (big surprise!) Don't let the drive fool you out here.
I am in Weld county in an unincorporated area, often roads are better out here...

I can only imagine that.. My youngest (just turned 12 Wednesday) said basically the same thing to me a week into Kgarten. "This is MY time, mom. You don't need to walk me up there" from the parking lot. Lol Ironically this is the son who is always right by my side!

urbanfarmer, good luck!
coopa, I used to know a few electricians in Arvada, but sadly have lost contact, have you tried the services area on CL?
MrsE, Now that someone else has broached the cup talk, I am SO interested in hand turned pottery! Looks like you may have found a paying hobby.. Please...
good luck pacing yourself.. I got my first 3 last year and recently was up to 63!
but a neighbor bought some and I sell eggs to help with feed cost. love my chickens!
Yes, the best is at my house or friends. I am more picky about mexican food now than ever! Haven't tried it in brighton but a couple times at Taco Loco. And its edible, but not the best, so I only went back b/c it was a friend's dad's favorite..
Hacienda is o.k. but even their hottest green was...
Welcome to Colorado and BYC. Once you get used to the mexican out here, you will never want TexMex again. For years I longed for it and once I finally got some after being in Co for about 10 years; well that TexMex just didn't do it for me at all!
Congrats on getting your girls! They are...
Thank you.. He is a darling drake, but I have a cayuga drake who is entering "manhood" don't want to have too many boys. I was really hoping for eggs, have heard duck eggs are great eating and that runners lay tons.

Good luck with your dog search.. I got extremely lucky with Tinkerbelle. She was offered for free on CL, already used to chickens and goats, the turkey wasn't a far stretch. Tink is a great pyr/yellow lab mix, great with the animals, loving with the family, and also good for a single lady in the...
You can hard poach eggs with out the new gadget.. easy no peel eggs
They do look kinda neat, but I'm thinkingit would be just another something to search for in cabinets and have to wash. But I'm a lazy house keeper, less work makes me smile even if it takes just a smidge longer to do things...
roristix!
I think we should all email these people and help to educate them about chickens. The idea of showing them where their chicken and eggs come from as compared to a backyard flock is great! A huge email response is likely to get their attention!
It always amazes me that the people with...
