Definately poeweed, I currently live in Tennessee and it is all over my yard. If you yabk it, make sure you dig out the whole root! Otherwise you too will have a pokeweed jungle. Darn stuff is worse than the bamboo we had growing up in Upstate NY.

SOrry for the late reply, I am new to this thread & going to be moving to just North of the border in Broome County, NY at end of summer. I figured I would check this thread out too, since there's a lot of rural up that way: Montrose, etc north of Scranton. Anybody here around that way?

thanks!
 
Lost a Rouen duck last evening, , just what do city folk think we will do with the dogs that they dropoff, it is not happily ever after, especially when they head straight for the pens...

I may process a lot of things but it is still not a good feeling having to do things like that.
:mad:

Sorry to hear Wing:

Some dogs just have high prey drive...my pooch took a nap under the chicken coop and four of my six young'ins scooted in with him...(they are really afraid of the big chooks and I am beginning the integration process)...I think Fisher's Mindy or Blarney's Bella are similar in nature....
 
Welcome Catmom! We are from the southern side of the state, but love new comers just the same. We attend a poultry show just over the line in NY, 'Twin Tier'. Check it out when you're here.

Been working hard on the garden this year, I've got some kind of critter coming in at night and digging plants out of the ground, leaving the plant (which I then replant). What is doing this? Here's a pic of this morning's damage:

We spent yesterday in State College, learning how to grade eggs, carcasses and compare production layers. What a long drive! While I was gone, DH sent this pic of the Three Amigos Elvis, Egan, and Eva. Doesn't Egan have the best eyes? LOVE that face!

Coop looks great!

1 suggestion: Move food & water outside under the coop. It will save much mess & bedding changes.

As for bedtime, they will learn to go in. I train mine by telling them "bedtime" as I put them in or shoo them up the ramp. Within a few days, maybe a week, everyone gets used to the routine. & starts going in on their own about 30-45 minutes before dusk. If I go out just at dusk everyone is in & all I have to do is shut the door. If I go out a little early they have been trained with "bedtime" so know where to go.

last night around 9 - ish I went out to chase them to bed and at least 3 were already inside getting ready for bed. So I started picking them up and putting them in, saying bedtime. Sugar decided to walk up the ramp and go in on her own (so proud of her lol). She always seems to be the first to figure things out (and people in the reviews say EEs are dumb!)

here she is, first one checking things out when I opened the coop door for the first time

And first out of the coop exploring

I wonder if she'll be the first to lay an egg too lol
