I will believe it when I see it! 16 degrees this morning here!

Well, that forecast is for us 'southerners' Sorry.

Kittens and puppies do best if handled from birth, for at least fifteen minutes each day. It's good for them!

Lost my opportunity. Mom hid them somewhere I can't find them

It sounds like a lot of us were thinking the same thing. I sited the area for the new coop. Raked out the footprint. The leaves disguised the slope and the rocks. Chickens don't care if the coop is level. Right?

Darn right they don't!

I have two broody hens, and tonight they were moved to separate cages, with a few eggs each. If they stay broody, I've got more eggs saved for them Otherwise, I hope to borrow incubator space soon! Belgian d'Uccles, EE bantams, white Chanteclers, and probably some Chantie mixes. Also have over twenty chicks from Cackle in the brooder! It's 'chicken math' in spades!!!
There will be birds available...

Hello all. New member here, and from SW Michigan. Maybe someone could help me with finding a heritage turkey breeder in my fine corner of the state?

Welcome to BYC and the Michigan Chat thread!
There's not many folks here from our corner of the state, but....
...might try this FB group for VanBuren County.
I've seen some heritage turkeys on there in the past.

It can be, but has many cons too.

welcome Red
needs to be a little warmer before I give my coop a good scrubbing . Would love to get all the old bedding out and take out the roosts and scrub them down. everything looks so nice after a good cleaning

Raz love the yellow cat and dog pics. we have 2 yellows and a gray stripe. with our gold St. Bernard mix. the golds love to go lye with the dog. some times cant see them cause they blend together so well
