I don't wait that long, mower doesn't much like tall grass, I'd have to mow it with the flail on the real tractor. Not nearly as maneuverable as the garden tractor.. Snowing 2-4" today but I probably won't mess with it.


No chicken does!! Always go as high as they can get.

And that makes you 6 weeks younger than DW.


How do you do the Welsummers? I've read a V on the head means female, no V means male. When I got 2 in 2017 my DD temporarily named one V and one No V. Their permanent names? Veronica and Betty.


I've had that happen only the piece was on the west side of the little barn roof and blown 90° over on the east side. I got the chicken ladder and a TON of roof screws out and managed to get it back down ... and tacked down a lot of other panels and the ridge cap.

Yep it is in bad shape but no sense replacing the roof without fixing the entire building.

Wind? Did someone mention wind? My fall purchased and erected "portable garage" finally succumbed to the shifting winds. I'd post a picture but I can't use any of the menu items!!! Still!!! Does anyone else have this problem?

Me. Can't select smilies, font or anything.

I got Gator Blades...and the Little Beast cranks them just fine!

They are pretty easy, autosexing....Sharp dark V's and eyeliner for females, light and fuzzier edged for males.

@aart!! Pictures!?! I need a dose of fluff cuteness to brighten my day.

As one can see in this picture, you already lost your marbles over these cute little things

I can't believe the difference between shipped chicks and hatched-at-home chicks. Way more friendly and openly curious, don't lose their marbles when I reach my hand in the brooder. I didn't really think much of it before, that's just the way they were. I suppose rolling around in a little box for 3 days would make anyone a little nutty.

I sure would be! I'm sure the lack of early trauma makes your home hatched birds more stable.

Finally, thank you.

 

[aart]

Nope, I know right where they are, in that waterer.....
....and some extras in a jar in the bathroom.

I sure would be! I'm sure the lack of early trauma makes your home hatched birds more stable.

And in addition the home made and hatched ones get their mother's antibodies for exactly the specific spectrum of pathogenic germs that your surroundings provide.

Yep, I think so.
