I'm anticipating some chicken issues - going to put Fezik the Biele back in the bachelor pad (occupying his coop with Bielefelders is a huge waste of coop space - they just don't lay eggs). I got rid of the biggest "in charge" rooster out there, but I am concerned for his well being. He lived with the fellas for about 10 months, but has been out with the girls for a
couple, so now he will be "new" again. Advice?

Always a crap shoot. Give him places to hide, just in case they get onto him?

Hey. .where's rav. ?
She's been gone for a while. Is it time for pond panic? Or does someone know what's up. ?

Probably right!

I know you said river rock around the pool, wonder if concrete would be easier/cheaper? Just rough texture on top, wouldn't have to be "finished".

She's fine. Just dealing with some other issues at the moment.

Good to know. Thanks Nat.

huh? I hope you didn't take it that way. . it was supposed to be a compliment meaning that you know how to do so many things other people can't do it would be a shame to waste your time doing mundane things like fetching milk.
Sorry if it didn't come across that way.
Also so sorry to hear about your cousin. That's a real bummer.

I'm confused...... You weren't the one that said pass the Puke bucket.....I thought Chris was giving you crap for complenting me......

depends on your roos.

I now have awesome roosters. I can separate them for months, toss them back together...whatever... no blood.

love it! (used to be a blood bath...literally. ...if roosters got moved around )

panic is fun.

if in danger or in doubt,
run in circles
SCREAM
and shout

We were going to make concrete pavers. . but I thought the smooth rock would drain better and maybe be easier on their feet? I would hate to concrete it in place in case we ever needed to get the tank out to fix plumbing or something. I did wonder about possibly putting sand down before the rock. . I don't know. What do you think?
