I sincerely hope and pray everything comes out alright for you Opa. I can't even imagine.
And also for you to glambka. Just the thought of not using my finger or thumb or hand or arm, or leading to more serious issues scares me. I hope you both heal soon!
Hi everyone! I haven't posted on here in a while but I still try to follow along some, but usually don't have much to add. Sometimes when I do I don't have time. Now that things have slowed up a bit for me I hope to contribute some again!
Fuzzy I know what you're saying about property. If...
@snowflake Do your waterers stay unfrozen even in the 00 temps with the 40 watt. Mine were starting to freeze last year and my water was inside.
This year I put a 3 gal outside in the run and wrapped the top part of it in the reflective bubble wrap insulation. I'm hoping that helps because...
I started out last year with a 25 watt and that was good to start but as the temps got colder I went to a 40 watt and then a 60 watt. Depending on the temps. As the temps began to warm up I reversed the process and went to a 40 then a 25. Otherwise the tin did get too hot. The year before I only...
Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know chickens would jump on me but I have had 2 hens do this just this week! One of my Marans did it once a couple days ago an one of the SLW has done that three times in the last 2 days. The last time I let her sit there on my shoulder and she was just content...
Welcome!!! I am in Northwest Ohio by Harrison Lake State Park. I have a variety of birds for egg color. I have 2 RIRs and 4 Leghorns. They are good birds. Yesterday one of the leghorn hens (I have no roos) sounded the alarm for a predator in the sky. The first time I heard one of the leghorns do...
Nothing to add except Yay! I hate the quartine time. It is very important but it makes more work. Maybe because this year I integrated 3 new sets of pullets with the the 5 older hens I had. Much quarantine time! Good Luck tntchix!
Good info Opa! Thanks!
@iamfivewire That tree is amazing! We live near a smal nature preserve full of oaks. They are amazing. The county had a historic oak called The Council Oak that was over 300 years old. Unfortunately it became diseased. They used some of the oak to make a carving for Sauder Village and Museum...
I bump into walls and stuff anyway. Just more for a few weeks with DST. I hate it. I'm already to go to bed and it's not even 8 o'clock. I do better with falling back than springing forward though.
Mine too is a work in progress. Chicken math has made that progress even longer. My coop was already here and was constructed like a barn with a hay loft above. Which I use for storage. Once I get the lower half constructed how I want again, it will be time to work on the upper level which will...
So sorry for your loss Opa.
The iris picture and leaf picture are very nice!
Sorry for the loss of your ewe Silly chicken.
I'll be putting one similar on my coop this weekonly smaller. I was wondering how well it would work! Thanks for posting the pictures they are very helpful!
