Come on down...we'd love to have you. The great state of Alabama is also a FANTASTIC place to live. I grew up here, moved away for a while due to work, but hubby and I have finally come back for good this time. We have our little two acres of heaven and it's wonderful!

The most fun I have had with my hens was the day I brought them a box of nightcrawlers. I have never laughed so hard. Much better than a rugby match.

They also love to fight over tomatoes, apples and watermelon. My roo would go from rind to rind drinking the watermelon juice that pooled up in the middle.

One of my favorite chicken entertainments. Bought some crickets. Had in container put a stick in for the crickets to climb. Omg the chickens went crazy trying to catch them all.

I made a dandelion tea for dandelion jelly a few weeks ago and for some reason, when I strained out the tea, I pressed the leftover petals into discs through my coffee strainer and froze the "dandelion cakes." I pull out one a day, still frozen, and my chickens nearly kill each other over them. They really don't act like they like me all that much (save maybe two out of the thirty) unless...of course.... they think I have some sort of treat. :/

You should visit Savannah. It is a beautiful city. The first fort in the state was built by a Scottish regiment. The Scottish played a large part in settling the state. General McIntosh's son was a Creek indian chief.

People up here are so-so Luckiy I live in the sticks so its not that bad, I lived in the city for work for a few years and would drive by farms on the back roads to take the "long way" and found my self starring at the cows and horses and missing that life soooo bad! so I came back to CT Its O.K id like my neighbors to be at least 1/2 mile away lo lol

Sounds like an awesome run, GOOD JOB, Dont feel bad about the caterpillars, mine dont eat meal worms (yes I said it) they dont like meal worms, dead OR alive??? go figure?, but earth worms FORGET IT theyre all over them like white on rice!

Yeah, if I even get the shovel out I can barely walk because the girls are screeching and running around my feet to get the first look see at the dirt I shovel up. They know it wom eating time. LOL I had some bricks that had been on the ground for a couple of years and when I pulled them up the other day every brick had worms under it. The girls had a feast!!
