If you need any help with anything Leigh, let me know.

I'm so tired @_@ I'll take you up on this in the AM. We're talking about barred rocks on the Natural Chicken Keeping Thread.

Rachel, differences in religion is not the reason Bee is not here right now. We are definitely here to talk chickens, and can continue to do so. Hopefully Bee will come back to share that wisdom.

Well Bee, we all wish you would return. We appreciate your wisdom here. I sure hope you keep that blog up Leigh, it's definitely one I cherish. Even if you can't quote Bee. I think she has taught you so much as you can teach it in your own words :) And Delisha, thanks for the compliments on...

I don't even have kids yet, and I want to be called Noni. It just rolls off the tongue nicely.

I'm really glad you like them Pullet Surprise :D I'm honoured that you think they are works of art.

How's the weather there? Couldn't do it here today. So cold! I couldn't even close my barn door yesterday it was frozen open. I broke out the chisel and had to remove a ton of debris in the sliding part of the door. Was not easy. I was ready to take a nap after lol. I'm going through my...

How do you keep from getting all dirty? :) Great pictures! Love that one where Millie was eating a snack off Runnybutt!

Are you kidding? With Fred's rocks? I drool over his constantly. Gorgeous rocks. I'll have to do that sometime though. Wish I could get my hands on some of the rocks you guys have in the US. Shame!!

A picture is worth a thousand words!! Hatchery RIR (AKA Production Red) Ruby my RIR. Pale in the comb because she is not laying this time of year. Finishing up her molt, and taking winter off most likely.

The only thing I'll take from this topic is I love the term Noni for a grandmother. That's beautiful.

BDM, Feel free to use any of my photos of Ruby. They are in this gallery somewhere. She's heritage quality. I agree with Bee on the temperament. She's quite the doll. I call her pigeon sometimes as well. She seems to coo like one when she has to lay an egg. Also considering the CX for spring.

I'm sorry about your mom :( I would like to learn how to dehydrate things. That would be awesome.

There is no way I can get out of a pet sitter. Not with the # of animals I have. This is when family comes in handy.

I'd say Cornish X for a beginner. We call them Meat Kings here. I've never seen my MIL do it, but she also makes homemade grape juice and has them all in mason jars in the cold room. Doesn't taste like any grape juice you could imagine. It tastes like REAL grapes. Really awesome stuff. We are...

How did you know it was an owl? Sally, this made my day. I have 4 turkeys (2 royal palms, 2 wild). I hope they will help like your girl did. They were probably in my neighbour's yard when our last attack happened, but they have stuck close since I clipped 1 wing on each of the girls. Still seem...

That's pretty much how we announce it. I remember my friend Dylan calling me up and exclaiming that Jagger got Honey and she liked it! I'm at work laughing. Made my day.

He's too young to judge his value right now. I have a couple of boys that were always gentle with the girls and did not rape just anything that moved. Jagger the barred rock and Carlton the Partridge Cochin. And only had one rooster ever try to protect his girls by going after a potential...

Right now no. In January we easily have snow on the ground almost 24/7. Melt the snow in a pot on the wood stove.. Though my wood heating is a furnace :/ I have a cold room full of preserves and what not. My in laws live with us through the winter. MIL is a BIG canner. There's that. Lots of...

I have 2 weeks of feed available usually on hand. I go for a feed run bi-weekly. I think going without power for 2 weeks would be tough. We're so used to the ease of life. TV.. Music.. Lights.. Computers..
