My hubby taught my grandson to drive our Ford tractor when he was 3 years old.

One of the benefits of starting them young is that they're still glued to your every word, they still think you know what you're talking about so they listen, absorb and form good driving habits based on what you tell them.

We've got ditches, cliffs, woods, electric fences, hard fences, gates, roads, and about every obstacle you can imagine out here. Our entire property is one big hill after another. There's no such thing as flat and straight without obstacles here. Still, they manage. Builds skill.

Whoever is going to the Charlotte Bird/Small Animal swap tomorrow, would you purchase some serama chicks? We have quite a few and I don't want to bring them if nobody wants to buy them.

Nope, just two chocolate colored eggs

How adorable is this picture! I can't believe how big the hen is compared to the chicks. Do the hens step on them?

Where do I find them? On the playground, in full sun, walking across the sand, on my front door, hanging out all day, on the one pot that gets messed around with, moved, and played with nearly every day, which, by the way, is on the driveway at the front of the house. The only wood I have found a black widow on was a small branch right at the edge of the driveway in front of the house, where I park the car. It must have been disturbed there almost every single day, but it had a nice little nest and an egg sack. Ahhhh!

Juise, are you sure those are black widows? I didn't think we had them in MI> this does not make me happy, ,,,,,,,(just trying to catch up on old posts)


Really liked the pic of the baby stretching up to the roo," who you calling short?)

It was an escape artist morning here to start the day.

Both mallard drakes flew over the fence into Potsy's back yard so I had to go fetch them back home. One took wing and flew back over the fence but I had to net the other one. Then while getting him back, I didn't get the gate fully latched and the golden decided to venture out while my back was turned. Found her 2 doors down. She came home and the cata-healer beat up on her for leaving.

Such a nice day in in store. Three eggs already and Broil jumped in the box while I collected the bounty. I think I'll till the run and get the backyard shaped up for company this Sunday. What started as a simple chicken swap has turned into a party.

Raz why do you till the run, do you mean a chicken run?

I had read that to keep a wild cottontail baby alive it needed cecotrope to live. I did post a website that says almost exactly what you quoted.
An adult rabbit still eats its own feces.
I was just trying to give advice to Shamrock on her baby cottontail that cats brought home...

I am ready to kill me a rabbit, it's eating my plants. What can I do to stop the dumb animal besides sic my dog on it?

 

[chicken grandma]

That would make a really nice habitat for button quail! You could see them and the dust would stay inside the tank and it is high enough that they won't bump their heads when they jump up. I would put pine shavings in that and a pair of button quail!

rabbit fencing... Just make sure the rabbit isn't fenced in...
