Holm, I always have EE's,  Sven is a great blue egg Daddy..

Now, I need to know...Did you have any guilt pangs after unloading your worthless ducks on poor unsuspecting Minnesotanice? 

Careful what you say about silkies, I plan to get some.

Nope! I felt like I did her a great favor

Thanks for the advice Bogtown Chick! and Ralphie. I will look into getting the dirt and hopefully next year or the end of the season my chicken manure/compost will come in handy.

Oh No Erli: 3 bears in a yard is much worse than a Sadie. I cannot believe I am saying that right now...but I just did. One Bear in my yard will take care of hundreds of dollars worth of apple trees, and bird feeders. Horrible destructible things. I actually quit feeding the birds --other than my own chooks. The deer figured out the feeders and it got pretty expensive and plus attracting in the bear. No thanks.

I was just going to say that a $200 dumptruck of black dirt will solve your problem. One thing about Sandy soil though...it is good for growing melons. My grandparents lived in the very SE corner of MN and had sand/limestone bluffs around them ...garden was super sandy and they grew watermelons like crazy.

Chicken compost is coming your way soon. But until then I would suggest the dumptruck of dirt.


Ooo...Whats the foo foo breed you're considering EJB? I promise I won't tease you.

Long O with a cha-cha cha sound for the CH.

I don't mean to pick on our new Siggie. But I had endless access to horse manure B. C. (Before chickens) and would bring it home to my garden and it really was a poor fertilizer. Talked to my Dad (old farmer) about it and he confirmed that it is not the best and for the efforts of hauling and tilling in to the garden it gave less than satisfactory growing results. Chicken manure is the best and richest of the livestock manure.

LOL...no worries, pick away, I'm still learning! I am hoping to mix the two (horse/chicken) with worm castings! Gotta do something with the horse manure ha ha !

Holm, very nice photo of the turkey.

Bogtown, I think that dog needs a playmate. Then it will have a source to which expend it's energy that will not damage property?

Appenzeller Spitzhauben may be considered a foo foo breed by many, dur to it's having feathers on its head. Not like Polish, and consequently they are not as flighty. They can see what is around them.
