I bought a book about Crows and Ravens, intending to read it, a couple of years ago. Now I want to find it and start reading. I love all kinds of birds and have seen documentaries about the crow/raven family and how smart they are. One was about a Raven that learned to fish. The person who started the fishing (ice type), set a line out through a whole and staked it to the shore. He was catching fish fairly regularly, then he wasn't getting any. So, he set up a camera and found that the raven was coming and taking his fish, then putting the line back in the water again. LOL!

Great stuff in here, I wanted to thumbs up more but ran out of ovations. Well mother is back in the basement in the wire dog crate. She doesn't seem to want to eat anymore. Hopefully today she eats while I'm at work. I placed a few Goodies in there to try and tempt her, fingers crossed.
Mornin' folks, Have a great day!

There are more ways to build coops than you could ever find in a day or a week. The main thing I tell people is make sure it is easy to clean!! If it is a pain to get to to clean, then the fun factor becomes reduced.
Make it so you have plenty of room for them no matter the weather.
Make it so it is DRY. You don't have to add heat to a coop if it is dry and draft-free in the cold season.
Put your feed in a dry place as well to avoid spoilage, which can kill chickens if it gets moldy.
Build your coop and run to withstand whatever predators you might encounter before you put them in, then you don't have to worry about "what if _____ gets in?" after they are in it.
There are many people on here with great ideas. You came to the right place for questions!

Well.. The news coming from the local Scandia dentist office is the sighting of a black bear off of Hwy 3.

Hopefully they can direct him back where he needs to be without killing him. I was in the Vet a couple years ago and the vet just got done amputating a German Shepherds leg as he had tangled with a bear, I said in Milaca? he said no, in Zimmerman, Yikes! he had quite a few other injuries as well. But the Vet said he would pull through. terrible though. I always try and look around outside before I let the dogs out, just in case something sinister is lurking.
 
Yep wondering where Ralphie is.. I had his cell # but then just got my new cell phone and lost most of my contacts. I will see if I can get his # from Aussie or Blanch and try texting or calling him today.. Has any1 heard from him at all??? I'm kinda missing his Grand Wisdom, humor, and yes even the sarcasm.. Almost time to send out the search party..
 
Yeah the sun is rising,, now I can finally start doing something.. I've been up all night couldn't sleep,, have a great day all...

I suspect he is soaking up this unseasonably warm weather up at the cabin. I don't blame him for going off the 'grid' for a bit. It is good for your sanity to do so every time and again

Plus cell reception in Togo may not be top notch and the BYC iPhone app really struggles in poor connectivity
