chicken stock, Lansing, June 23rd Do come it is loads of fun, kids welcome,fun for them too

my EE's are very good layers also,Love the blue,green's of different shades
HH, how are you feeling??
 
I guess in that case, I would consider getting some of those step in posts and mesh fencing to define a chicken run area. It is cheap and seems to be effective. I suppose if a predator is determined enough, a flimsy fence won't stop it. But I use this method to create chicken runs and areas to keep my dogs out of.

My solution may not work for your particular situation.

Funny aside to this...The guy who live 2 doors down, lets his chocolate lab roam the neighborhood whenever his yard is wet. That darn dog craps all over the block but nothing is done about it because he is a court officer of the city.
sounds like it's time for a covert fudge bag left at his door step........
 
hi everyone,
thank you for posting the chicken stock date.. close to dh bd.. maybe i will take him there for his bd.. lol
i guess i will have to reconsider on the eastereggers.. they are pretty..
no school here today
 
How much snow did you guys get in the UP/ NL? We got rain, ice and dusting of snow in SL..


We ordered our bees and purchased our supers (hive) Saturday! So excited to get started! I'm already thinking of ideas for honey and bees wax!
(Raz, do you save your wax? How much wax do you get at harvest time?)
 
we got about inch of wet heavy snow last night.. and didnt have school because icy road..
would love to raise some bees.. but dont think my neighbors would like it...
nothing beats fresh honey..yum!

Funny, my EE's don't lay in the winter! Hardly any of my hens are right now. 30 hens and I get 1-2 eggs. Something is wrong with this picture!
