OOh, nice avatar

. Is that a '68 Impala with a fast back?

My avatar is a picture of the General Lee ('69 Charger) at sunrise when I was at the Hazzard Homecoming back in August. Got to hug the Duke Boys and carry on a whole conversation with one of them. Met everyone in person but Catherine Bach. Her lines were at least six hours long.

Try your local extension agent. They should be able to point you to local beekeepers.

Good Morning, Happy Chicken People!

Lots to get done this weekend I hope! Not supposed to rain here until around three-ish, so hopefully I can get some outside things done before then.

Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Chicken people!! DH is already hard at work outside trying to get more done in the garden (LOTS of dirt to shovel). Sadly, we think we ordered more dirt then what we can use at this point...we are running out of other supplies (newspaper/cardboard) and we only completed ONE row!!

Not sure what DH has up his sleeve, but he's bound and determined to get it ALL done today - without an actual tractor, I am not sure HOW he'd be able to get it done as we (so far only he) have been shoveling by hand into the attachment on our mower. Our row is 6 feet wide and 60 feet long...and after 5 trips yesterday we managed to get 2/3 of the way finished...not sure how the rest is going to fair...I may be running to the store to buy a LOT of boxes or something!!

Chickens and ducks are staying locked up until further notice. They are NOT going to be allowed out until I start to see some EGGS!!

My fear is that they are going to refuse to lay, then the minute I let them out, they will run to their secret stash in the woods or something and lay a multitude. That would be just my luck!! Although I have some seasoned layers (my Marans) who are not laying either, and they haven't laid since the one went broody last year. Not sure WHY...I thought they might be molting, but that never happened, so I'm just not sure why the strike. Someone come over and SCARE the eggs out of them, please!!

So Emu or Donkey for coyote protection...hmmm...I am liking these options! What about for wild boar? Would a donkey or emu take care of one (or a pack) of those?!?

Have a great day everyone...I'm off to come up with a killer breakfast idea for the hubby while he slaves away. I just have to say I am so blessed with such an incredibly hard working wanna-be country boy but really a suburbia boy at heart husband!!

Thanks for the donkey and emu tips. hubby still wants geese, said a donkey doesnt lay eggs. I still want a dog... im going to do all I can to convince him, I really dont want geese...
