** Missy- ahead is sooo much better than behind, and I just don't mean the view...

ahahaha

okay, I'm silly now...time for bed!

don't know, there' been a few times that behind was better.

Yup! Sometimes!

Good night All!

need to put this on hubby's truck
I want this for the motorcycle!

Wing's brabanter chicks. 4 of 6 shipped eggs hatched. She has generously asked if I wanted them and since I have no more room they will be going to a girl at work.

2 good hatches on shipped eggs so far.... guess the key to getting shipped eggs to hatch is be drunk when ordering

I have 3 roos, 7 weeks old that are available for free if any one wants them. If you are close to me, I will even drop them off!

2 blue copper marans and 1 welsummer.

Here are the pics of the marans, the first is more blue and the second is more black.






I don't have a current picture of the Wellie Roo, but I can post one if you are interested.

Wanted to share... 'cuz I should be there!


Thanks for the info.

Looks like my son doesn't have a game that day, so we'll probably be there.

ohh no...see , this is the one thing I am worried about. Lots of critters where we are at...and sometimes big-ones too!!  Will have to inspect the heck-out of our set-up...constantly looking for better ideas.

Cinder block. My coop is a cinder block garage. Don't have to worry about anything digging under, or eating through.



On a sad note...I lost 2 of my Iowa Blue chicks yesterday/this morning. Seems the big ones squished them to death...so I cleaned out the brooder and split the ducklings/2 week olds away from the 1 week old buff orpingtons, lone iowa blue and the 2 silver grey dorkings.

Has anyone used (and had success with) human hair clipping around the outside of their run to help detour predators and deer? My dad said they would use it on his grandparents' farm around the coop, and the house garden to keep deer away, but doesn't remember how well it worked. I have several friends who do hair so getting enough hair isn't an issue (I'll probably mix dog hair in with it), I just wonder if it'll really be worth the time and effort. Thanks in advance

dorkings and iowa blues were both on my long list, not sure why chose not to have them part of the 4 breeds.

i shouldn't say this, most of you allready think I am nuts....but hubby swears that if you pee around the perimeter of the garden, then the rabbits will stay out.....I think he is just to lazy to go any farther..

If that's the case, then I have a husband, and 2 sons that should pretty much have my entire yard rabbit proof!!

So sorry!

That sucks...
I didn't know you had dorkings?

heritage? where did you get them from?

Dorkings are on our list also! Definitely want a few of those birds to add to our self sustaining flock project...
Also watching for cornish...
and once we get through with our meaties and the Black Giants are in with the laying flock we will look into LF Cochin for broodies.

Hey all:

Just found a potential solution to fox/raccoon issues....its coyote urine. i'm going to give it a try....my only doubt is that my dogs have marked the entire yard and that didn't stop them...anybody ever try this?
