Thanks for all your kind words! @riss sorry to hear about your rabbit! I grew up in Ohio doing the 4H and FFA events as a kid.
So guess what the topic at dinner was this evening....once the weather gets warm enough for me to go outside and work, D1 and I are building the new run. We will...
Good morning Europe! Yes, it's down right cold in my little part of the world...-4C.
Sad news to report....one of our hens has passed away. Monday evening, my son came home and he heard the hens screaming! So he ran to the coop thinking that a fox or something was attacking them. Only to find...
Hallo my European peeps! :frow
I hope that each of you are in good health, coronavirus free, and not going crazy with lockdowns!
It has been a long 6 months since I have been here. I am sorry for not saying anything earlier, I just wanted to be alone with my recovery. A long story short, as...
OMG! I've missed soooo much! First of all, to the new members, WELCOME to our little part of the site! I see that everyone is jumping right in and joining the conversations....GREAT!
Now, I must say to the "old timers", sorry so long being away. We have so many small projects to do on the...
Ok ladies, (@abpatchy @Erba) I must confess. After @BDutch nominated me and I was awarded, I thought "Why aren't these two awardees? They are more deserving than I am" When I came onto the scene here, you two were the chatter-boxes of the group, keeping the thread alive and interesting with...
🥳 🥳 🥳 :ya:ya:clap:clapCongratulations goes out to @abpatchy and @Erba for receiving the BYC Recognition Medal "Friend"! Well done ladies! :woot:woot:woot
@abpatchy Lady, you can't catch a break this year! Sorry about your problems! Oh and tell Mike, Happy 4th of July! I'm not in the mood to drive up to Vilseck for the activities, since I no longer play softball.
@BDutch, enjoy the holiday! I love Basel! Be safe on the autobahn! Come home...
Who turned the heater down? I woke up this morning in my little corner of God's favorite land, Bavaria and I was cold! The morning air smelt like the air in September with that little hint of freshness. I looked out at my 3 ladies and they were all huddled around the feeder clucking away like...
WOW! I go away for a few days, ok 2 weeks and I see that we have like 4 new members here! Welcome to the best thread here at BYC! Why is it the best thread you ask? Because it's for us, here in Europe! Just to catch you old timers up, the house is almost finished! The rains have slowed...
@abpatchy
I hope not! They are only 16 months old! I did an exam of all three of them yesterday, plus clipped their wings. They seem completely fine, no problems breathing, crop was full, weight seemed fine, checked the feet and toes for sores but nothing. I think they are just getting...
@BDutch, I love your Janice! The stark contrast of her coloring is amazing!
Now I have a question. I never noticed it before, but my hens no longer roost in the run! All last summer they did, but D1 mentioned it last week and I watched them the last two days. They would rather sit in the...
OS (only son) joining? I think not. He's not into social media so much. But I will see what I can do about some pics. The quail are not free range. They have no concept of a fixed home, can fly better as they are a game bird and would be gone, so they are enclosed in the run.
This...
Hello Everyone!
First of all, I see that we have a few new friends here! Welcome to the best thread of this website! Well I think so!
So I've been out of touch for a short time. We are rebuilding the roof on the house, repainting the house, making a shooting range in the attic (son shoots...
Welcome to the fun! We are a lively group sharing our knowledge and laughs. If you know of any others from Europe here at BYC, invite them into the thread. We can only make the thread stronger.
So pull up a chair, get your coffee and enjoy the thread!
Thanks for your comments and concerns. D1 added a cover board to keep the bedding from fall outside, AFTER she took the pictures. And for the roof support, they are very stable and strong. My son was on the roof as he was securing them down, 80 kgs or so, and when we had 100km winds this past...
