Re: standing water- this is my front yard.

That's after heavy rain. We're saturated right now. Takes about three days for it to dry, and then there's still parts that are lower and still holding water. In addition to the pond, ditches, creeks, swamps, and river on the property.

Banti sweets, I will bookmark the buckets, I did see the mushroom growing one, also using wash baskets. Someday I will do shrooms!!! there are so many growing herre right now I have no clue what they are!!

DON'T DO SHROOMS!!!

I'm at the service center to get my oil changed in my car.... I may be here for a while!!! Ugh. At least there's free wi-fi.

@Chaos18 It has been a year and a half in the first field and working out fine. I am looking to next year when they can wook on the back woods. I just will have to fence off the couple of the young trees J want to grow like my young hickory.

Glad to hear it. I've been looking into electric fence options.

still a work in progress, ...

WORK in progress

It may be a work in progress but you're making more progress than I am.

@ChickenCanoe the door is just two rails with scree holes at each end and a square piece of aluminum with a hole at the top to attach the pull string. I just don't have tools for that so I bought a kit door and opener for the second coop.

I would have been money ahead if I had bought 15 commercially built doors originally.

If this began before the weekend, the concern was that I didn't want the doves to be unhappy. The doves would have been separated while I was gone. Fortunately, they both happen to be in the coop when I left.
I was honestly teasing about the hand raising thing. I know that you would never tell me to hand raise a bird when it had a mother already. Fortunately, the information you gave me was information that I did not have. Should something ever happen, I will know where to go to find the solution. So I do honestly thank you for the link and YouTube video.

No worries. I didn't realize the nest was IN the coop.

What do yall think of my post

I didn't see it.

I am putting field fence over my existing five wire barbed wire fence. I loop the top wire of the field fence over the t-post then add four or five clips going down. It had worked so far. Since I don't have the ability to stretch in the right way post to post pulled hard and looped over seems to work.

That and stretching fence isn't a one person job.

seriously runt its the first and 2nd post it is not going any where, and if you have a specific problem we can link the part you need

can i use flavored kefir? i dont want to buy it and not use the rest, rather expensive around here
Thanks, it works so far (except on the caterpillars, they died but i was ok with that)
I have heard people using birch sap/tar for insect repellent

You can use flavored if you want. It should still have the same cultures. It takes just a tiny bit.

I raised a Monarch caterpillar in a jar when I was a kid. It suspended its cocoon from the lid. When it emerged and the wings expanded there wasn't enough room and the wings dried in a rolled condition so it couldn't fly. It broke my heart. I never raised a caterpillar in a jar again.
We have two nice butterfly houses in St. L. One is at the zoo. I went to several butterfly farms in Costa Rica. One of them raises butterflies for replenishing wild stocks in Africa and Asia.

Speaking of the St. Louis Zoo. It was just given the title of the #1 free attraction in the nation by USA Today.
http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/...ay-saint-louis-zoo-is-nation-s-best-free.html
With 3.2 million visitors a year, it has offered free admission since it was founded in 1910. It is in the nation's largest urban park, Forest Park, site of the 1904 World's Fair and contains the enormous outdoor flight cage that was featured at the fair. The city of St. Louis bought the cage from the World's Fair for $3,500 (without the birds) and built the zoo around it.








Was it you that asked about rules for export?
Export to another state or international?
For the US there really aren't rules for export. The jurisdiction receiving the birds is the one that has the concern.
