    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!

    @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...

    Looks just like one I used to use at my grandmas house. It was a lot of fun to use. Good memories.

    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...
