Woody and I finally figured out the best place for her in the machine shop... next to me. I used to sit in that chair when operating the plasma cutter but it looks like it has a new owner...

That's Dad's old chair and he liked duct tape lol.

SNOW GEESE!

There are some fields between Dudley and Dexter where millions of snow geese stop by. I need to try and find a photo of them...

The sky just now—-While I’m waiting for the chickens to go in

Our indoor tomato plant is over 5’ tall and has ripe fruit (yellow cherry) and about 40 more blossoms!

Here’s a pic of most of my chickens this morning...Spitzhaubens, Sprights, and a Sebright in there form a sea of black and white spangles and lace.

Junior and Senior roosters get along just fine, and they are both polite to me, so why not keep both.....

My cherry chocolate tomato plant is 25.4mm tall and only has the baby leaves... and just when I got an early start this year.

Hi there! We currently live in NH but will be moving to Missouri in the next few months.
(Yay cross country(ish) trip with 20+ birds!)

What sorts of predators do you guys find is the most threatening to your flocks there? Coons and coyotes are the biggest worry up here.

I’m in Arkansas just a few minutes from the Missouri line. But, I’d say coons and coyotes will still be on your list in Missouri, as well as hawks and eagles. The eagles have been flying low over my property this year as compared to other years but I haven’t had anything taken yet. However, I have had a hawk take off with a young bird. I tried to leave my coop open one time so the birds could come out as soon as they want in the morning. Their coop is in a fenced area with my pyrenees so I thought they’d be safe. However, a possum was sneaking in and killing my chickens at night. Hope that helps!
