Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. Bought a house in Tully in February, and got my first 6 chicks about a month ago. I'll be re-homing a couple of them (at least that's the plan!) in a few weeks.

Howdy,
We're in S Onondaga, not too far.

I just discovered a strange scientific phenomenon. My barn is 5 times further from my house when I am trying to collect eggs during a thunderstorm with pouring rain!

It looks like that storm is moving my way, too. The wind is really picking up here and the sky is getting dark. Luckily I already grabbed my eggs before heading to work

Yep! same here...skies are getting darker! I don't have egg laying hens yet, they're only just now in the coop as of a week ago. Better go check on them before the storm!

Howdy, just popping in to say "what's up?" I try to keep up with the thread and enjoy reading all the posts, but when it comes to replying to specific things I'm not too good. Glad to see you're chugging along with peeps and such.
Someone posted a pic of a great new duck hut. Love it.
Congrats to Rancher on the new grandbaby.
Gramma your little peeps and their momma hen are too cute.
On this end I finally got a bunch of goslings. Five little Pomeranians for an awesome price. We're planning to raise them all summer and eat them at holiday feasts; however, if they grow out to meet the breed standard I will be mighty tempted to sell them as breeders, or keep them myself for breeding...
Homemade incubators and broody hen cooking along. I have the broody in a little rabbit hutch, best broody setup I ever had. It's right outside our bedroom window so I can hear if something goes wrong, and it's big enough she can raise the babies in there for a couple of weeks.

Hi everyone.
Sorry haven't been on in a while.

Hey, that's a cool coop. did you use pallets for it?

Thanks -yup - I used the heat treated pallets for both coops. It worked out real well. When I ran out of wood, I used the 'toxic' pallet wood for areas the peeps won't be able to reach.
