You're in my neck of the woods. The flooding was such a mess, glad to hear you fared well. We have friends who lost almost everything. Our family and farmette are evacuated until Spring because of effects from the flood.
We live off grid as well, but that's because we semi-inherited an old...
When are you planning on ordering them? We would be interested in more runners as well, but are evacuated due to flooding for the time being so our farmette is scattered all around CO. You can PM me if you'd like.
I raised guinea pigs as a child and my daughter now has one. We love them so much.
Our animals, big and small, have a way of creeping into our hearts, and it hurts when we lose them. So sorry. (double hugs)
Sounds like we left Colorado right on time...not that the weather in upstate NY is much better, but warmer for sure. We've had several ice storms to make up for the temps.
Maybe wintering here will be better
Hoping all my gals are surviving at their temporary homes and that you all will...
So, sorry for your loss... I cried for a long time after a bobcat got one of my girls and then recently got two of my ducks.
I thought a racoon's calling card was breaking necks, no bite marks...but I could be wrong. Loaned out my book with a great list of "calling cards" or signs and never...
I wanted to stop back in for a moment and say, I'm sorry I ranted a little much last night.
There are so many people in such worse shape than we are in, reality is, we are blessed, even in all this trouble. While we were inconvenienced by the road washing out, at first, and now more so...
First I wanted to say: I'm so glad to hear that Beth's MRI was clear. I've been praying for you both since you posted.
I've been reading and catching up on the news for the past month. Hope to be more active around here in the future.
Anyway, I have a request for help to toss out there to...
Ugh! Don't like the mobile version of this forum, can't scroll well or get past quote to write below and I am way too old to read small print for spelling errors! Lol
Thanks for the offer and idea. We will have to see how it all works out. So far we are hanging in. A neighbor behind us already said we could haul water from them so that helps. We may need to find homes for the animals for winter to lessen the load.
How fun! My babies aren't old enough yet. Wasn't planning on raising chicks this year, then had an opporunity to incubate 40 eggs, only three hatched, & one survived, so rushed out and bought a dozen or so to raise with this one. Can't wait til they lay!
What fun!
It's been awhile since I've caught up on BC and this thread, but I'll say it's good to see a few names popping up saying they are okay. I have wondered for days how others are fairing in all this mess. Mt.Margie a shout out, old hens stopped eating eggs thanks to your advice...yeah, going back a...
So I step away from the forum for a week or so and my goodness, all the chatter! Welcome to the newbies...you'll love it here, it's been great getting to know all these folks!
My babies survived...which I'm sure you all figured they would...maybe I should say, this first time chick mama...
So, I finally got my babies (chicks) outside in the coop and what does it do around here?!?!?! Freeze and snow!
I've been out there every hour for the last two days, I'm worn out. Two heat lamps still didn't keep the temps up to where I would have liked, but they made it through just fine...
So jealous...I was just in the coop measuring for roosts. We have way too many projects around here to get done and not enough time to do them in.
I have current hens in the tiniest coop - not sure what the previous owners were thinking (we inherited 24 plus coop last year). Some day it will...
That was the BIGGEST reason I didn't have them in the basement...as it is we have our chicks in the cabin with us (if I had a garage they would be there not inside) and I have been begging, okay ranting, that the new coop NEEDS to be finished like 2 weeks ago, because I can't stand the smell of...
