I'm on the phone. Like someone is talking.... I'm exhausted!

it is sooo much more comfortable to just sit on a chair...just saying.
Someone is talking.."like..like,like-likelikelike...& like"...if you are exhausted..politely say you are, you'll call back tomorrow or whenever and let that be that. Go to bed .

Good morning everybody!

The weeding wasn't the issue. Nothing really grew.

Well with chickens and chicken manure to put on the gardening area you should really be able to get something to grow in a few years. We use almost all our chicken and goat manure on our gardens and have no problem growing things, especially weeds it seems. Some years ago I had moved to a property with extremely poor soil. Even some varieties of weeds that thrive on poor soil really struggled to stay alive on it. After 2 years of chicken manure we started getting some very good crops. By three years we were able to grow anything we wanted.

Duckling was great about eating lunch! Not only was it a surprise she was acting excited, but she really did eat some! She never said yuck, so she might be easier to feed again (the past tenish months have been almost meat and vegetable free!

You served duck to a Duckling? How dare you to do such a thing? What if....what if.....what if.....what if...... you hurt the ducks feelings Never mind baked duck doesn't have feelings. Nice addition.

How do you use the chicken manure? I know you have to age or rest it for most uses. I was using pine shavings in my coop before, but I will have a much bigger coop. In the burbs, I had to bag everything up and put it in the trash. I guess this is where poop boards would be handy for "collecting".

So, anybody ever have a problem with a groundhog trying to get at their chickens? Because I sure had an interesting experience today, when a groundhog repeatedly ran at my coops, trying to get at the girls through the wire. Then when I thought I'd just startle it off, the little monster ran at me, and chased me clear across the (2 acre) yard. My brother came running with a shovel and gave it a good bink on the head when it charged after him instead, and it staggered off. Didn't think groundhogs were generally all that aggressive, or into chicken.

Maybe it was rabid? We had one in the yard last year and the chickens surrounded it but it didn't do anything. We chased it off but it only lunged at the stick we were using to chase it once or twice after we chased it so far then that was it.

That definitely sounds like a rabid animal. Groundhogs are usually the first to dive for cover and very reclusive. And I suspect they don't usually have that kind of stamina!

thank you...the rocks are using it to their fullest advantage. I watched them use the structure to avoid and escape being picked on multiple times today. It is funny, they are the only one I have seen on the top of that thing...maybe the other girls are "too mature" to play on it ...just happy it is giving them a "base" in which to hide.

I think I'm going to build a " play gym" for my girls too when I have the time. Definitely looks like a great boredom buster. I'm sure the girls won't mind if it's held together by zip ties.... Lol. 2 days until settlement! I'm both nervous and excited! We moved most of our stuff up to the garage on the property. Today we will finish unloading the shed. Starting to get a little nervous now....! Btw, in the trash a few weeks ago, someone had tossed a pack-and-play. I thought, hey, that would be a great chick brooder.... High five for all the trash pickers! (That wasn't even my latest find....)
