after plowing 4+ inches of snow and pulling Kalib up the driveway, I decided I needed a nap.
so I came in and turned on PGA golf. I slept like a baby..

today is Annie's birthday. she said that the night before she was born, they had a snow storm. just like we had last night..

the puppy is scheduled to fly to Loxahatchee Florida on March 5..

Hey all,
Just wanted to say that I am looking for some show quality-ish chicks this spring if anyones hatching

97 eggs since last Saturday!

Well, we started with our first chicks last March. We began with 4 that were under a week old. Like all of you, we fell in love right away. One turned out to be a rooster so we were down to 3 hens. They all grew and layed nicely but ended up with Mareks. Definitely not what I expected!
I started incubating 14 eggs that we got from a friend’s flock on Wednesday. I feel like we need to vaccinate any chicks we get against Mareks. Does anyone in the Plymouth/Sheboygan area have advice on where to purchase the vaccination and supplies I need? Any other advice on what we need to do to best clean our coop to minimize the risk for our new flock?

I use an attachment on my hose that I put bleach into. then I spray the cages with it.
the bleach dissipates in a day.
glad you found the cheeseheads

my pair of geese disappeared today, but only for a short time, i guess it is time to go looking for a nest..

it is usually under the lean to on the rear of the garage..

when I find it, I will supply her with a nice pile of fresh straw..

nothing else new here. just enjoying the spring like weather ..

Hey I’m new here. I’m in Cedarburg and 4 hens are legal here. I am desperately petitioning the HOA to get some. I miss chickens so much.

I hate HOAs. Why did we make mini governments for ourselves?
