Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

well i had my nose pieced and put a bone thru my nose, rings around my neck, stripes on my face, ran around nude with the fire pit going doing my rain dance.
I'll have nightmares tonight for sure😵‍💫
.08 here
Yup feeling like fall here too, leaves falling with the temps and bow hunting this Saturday
 
FFF tonight is crappies and ho-made fries with rye bread.
The fall weather is here for sure. Sonds like the frost will stay away for another couple weeks. Good I have some late chico invite peppers that need to turn yet!
Good Luck to the bow hunters! Nice herd to hunt again this year in Waupaca county.

Stay Safe ... bigz
 
We got 2”+ up here a week ago. Today it rained n the morning, still overcast. Glad we finally got some.

Realized our three new layers wanted a dark spot to lay in. Whipped up some curtains yesterday, and today we got eggs in/near the nests!

That is an awesome and cute idea!

I can't do that with our silkies though as they'd think I was condoning allowing them to be broody. It's a daily war here.
 
It is a cute idea. Im sure mine would want to stay broody.
We have a large dog kennel on the other side of the property that by day becomes the broody silkie jail. Every morning, whoever doesn't leave the coop when the chicken door opens gets hauled to jail. At dusk, the kennel gets opened, and they "escape" by running like heck to the coop to join their flock. By letting them back in the coop at night, the dogs can have their kennel back as that's where they sleep at night, plus, I don't have pecking order issues. It takes about 4 days of this to break one. I've gone as much as two weeks with nobody in jail.

I refuse to let them sit in the coop for months like they used to be doing and wind up with skinny sickly looking hens. Plus, I've heard of two people, one I've personally met, who didn't realize their hen wasn't coming out to eat and drink, and it died.

I just won't allow it anymore. In the winter, they can have at it. Be broody all ya want lol.
