next year. Button buck. No doe tags in my zone

. If I had been practicing with my bow and bought a bow licence you would be seeing an entirely different picture.

But I haven't been....so....

Pharm, I have friends with a house on a hill and they too had water problems. I've also delivered mail to folks whose houses had a spring that was constantly running between the two. We have a sump pump and IMO we need to make the hole bigger. Which is why I prayed for a dry summer and snowless winter last year.

As for number of chickens? Why would you want me to count. I sleep better when I don't know the exact number.

Soy? What the problem with soy in feed? I never considered it. I just buy commercial feed. Dumor, Agway or Purina.

I see no problem with soy in feed....some people do, however.....

Check your label and see what it contains.

A dozen chickens here. 10 hens, and the two beautiful boys.

I'm up to 26 silkies...Rancher is probably cringing as her reads this....he may even be reaching for "the helmet".

10 hens, 5 roos plus one extra roo I don't count because I gave him away once and he came back, now lives free range and in the barn rafters.

So I think I have one going broody. Luna the big blue orp girl. Noticed this week she was sleeping in the nest box, so I would pull her out and plop her fluffy butt on the roost. This weekend, I would find her in the morning in the box. Toss her out the door. Today I went up a couple times to find her in the box again, toss her out the door. She would wander around a bit, eat and drink, then apparently head right back in. So tonight I took the nest box out, she will have to sleep on the roost. This is the hen we wanted to go broody...next spring, not right now.
