Raech You can buy my house, but you would have to move out of state... Meets and exceeds all of your wish list. Well, only 2 stall garage, but if you would like to change states, let me know ;-)

Raech, It's funny how we know immediately that we have been up with a kid all night, but not always when we get to sleep ;-)

I contacted the business selling them, and its actually made from a hard fiberglass. I ordered 2 of them, one for chickens, and one for goats. The website is: customportableshed.com they are fairly priced, and should fit my needs perfectly. I have no interest in this company at all, I just...

Thank you :-)

This is the view from the inside...

Have any of you guys seen something like this before? I think it would b great for goats or chickens?

Pyrethrin is the correct name I believe. We spray our dog with it too. We don't have cats, but it should still be safe for clothes. Anyways, it works well for us. It's much better then deet that is in bug sprays...

Yes, chickens do a nice job of eating ticks. We have woods that are full of ticks! As long as you check for ticks on you and the kids every night, Lyme disease should not be an issue. A tick carrying the disease must attack to you, burrow its head, and secrete the Lyme disease in the process of...

I was asked the other day by a co worker "how to the chicken eggs get fertilized?" Does the rooster fertilize it after the hen lays it? While I was trying so hard not to laugh at that question, she honestly didnt know! She was never told... Her parents never raised animals etc. so, I explained...

I agree that REAL cooking is becoming a thing if the past. When pressure cookers are viewed as a bomb making device rather then a method of preserving tomatoes and such, it's a sad sad day. After the Boston bombing we could not buy a new pressure cooker for a while. Stores were pulling them off...

Good luck!!! ;-)

Yup, did that today. "She" has definite" boy parts "as we call them in our house.

Hi fellow homesteaders! It's been a little while since I've been on this thread. We have New Zealand rabbits for meat. We purchased two "sisters" from the same litter, and the buck was born a little later with different unrelated parents. My rabbits are about 6 months, and the buck is only...

About how large are your goats? How much milk do they produce? Can you eat their meat? I'm new to goat keeping, in fact I don't even own any yet... I'm hoping to truly homestead, and be self sufficient for milk. We are getting to be self sufficient for meat, and vegetables, but no milk yet...

Just ordinary potatoes. I will update you guys in a couple of months as to how they turn out.

I'm looking into buying some nigerian dwarf goats for milk. Any input?

We got regular potatoes at the store. We let them "get old" in a dark closet, when they sprouted, we put about 2 inches of potting soil, then the potatoes halved cut side down. We covered them with a combo of soil and composted rabbit poop. Watered, and this is what we got. We found some cool...

Red skin potatoes growing in 5 gallon bucket. This is our first try, I hope it works!!!

We just planted potatoes indoors in 5 gallon buckets! ;-) I can't wait to see how they turn out! It's much to cold to plant them outside in my climate, so I'm hoping they turn out good. We are mixing rabbit poop with potting soil in the buckets as fertilizer. Worst case scenario, they don't...

There is another fellow on BYC is the same situation. He's on fixed income and lives in a city that is anti chicken. He makes it work though! He keeps his chickens in his garage, grows a garden, and feeds his chickens lots of what he grows. He also heats his home with wood. Most of his wood...
