I need to get a greenhouse... I thought about it, but with the wind out here I was kind of worried. I have a little mini 10 plant starter kit, but I was gonna use it to start my royal empress trees.
Nice. Last time we weighed Weiss, he was 85 and that was.... three or four months ago, and he just hit a year and two months. I wonder if he gained any weight.
I would so watch that show! I think it would be a great idea. Just like tanked, only with poultry houses <3
The look great. I like the rooster it has such neat colors and markings. Everyone I have seen on this site has the coolest looking chickens. I like seeing all the variety. It makes me want to have more chickens.......
These are the new pictures of my flock! These were taken yesterday. The SLW is the newest member of the flock. Took three days for her to be accepted. Now she is running around with them exploring and doing fun chicken things!
Losing our feathered friends isn't easy. It is amazing how quickly they can win your heart.
Doing some catching up on the thread tonight. I like that design for a chicken tractor. It looks like it would go straight over the garden when it needed to. I am going to have to save some of the pictures of the coop designs I like and chicken tractors for when my permanent one goes up. Everyone has unique design ideas on their coops. Yours has given me a few new ideas too. It is looking good. Can't wait to see it when you have it up and running.I'm working on a smaller one right now.5'X8' This one will have a loft and nesting box. I'm going to put a small door on the loft end to collect eggs.
I was too, so I got a pkg of yellow plastic tent stakes from Walmart and stuck them in the ground with their hook over the wire of the very bottom shelf of the unit. It holds pretty good, although the shelf unit does shake a little in high wind. One day I had left the zipper on the plastic open because I was worried the plants would get too warm - the wind pulled back the plastic slightly from the frame and out of the tiny little metal "stakes" that came with the kit to anchor through grommets at the bottom of the plastic cover. I'm sure if I hadn't had the big tent stakes holding down the shelf, the whole thing would have been blown to Oz. But with the cover zippered, it has stayed put no problem.
My garden last spring worked out great. I started in February after I saw the Dogwood bloom. Unbeknowest to me though, I was planting a garden for the chickens not humans. I had deer, hogs, rabbits, and other wild animals leave it alone. My chickens were free-ranging and finally realized it was over there, no fence (silly on my part). Wow did they go to town on the tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries. They like some other tasties in there as well. I think a chicken without tomatoes treats would feel an injustice had been done.
Jezzikins88 I live not far from Magnolia around Renfaire. Welcome to BYC!
Those are some chickens down with the funky look. I like them. Those are a breed of the naked neck type of chicken right? I will add them to my list of future breeds that I would like. I love chickens with crazy hairdos.gonna repeat it here to make it part of the public record
I still say you need for him to build a bordello and stock it with showgirls
Otherwise it just isn't a REAL little western (texas) town!
I used to watch the dirt devils fly up last year when we lived in Richards near Navasota. Our grass was only green in places the chicken tractor had been. Everywhere else you could tell nature was thirsty. Those dust storms do like to relocate bits of land don't they. Why can't they ever pick up fertile land and drop it in our gardens...
I just started my seedlings for 8 different herbs on the porch this last weekend.
