YO GEORGIANS! :)

So what is the coop itself made out of? Mine have a 4 x 8 plywood coop with a tin roof. Yeah a bear or large man could break through the walls using sheer force but other than that the chicken door is latched and they are safe.

Right now? Or the one I plan to build?
The one I plan to build will be either 4x4's, about 8 feet long, which I will bury 2 feet in the ground and make the rest about 6 feet tall with chicken wire on all sides and a tarp on the top.

The one they are in now is a screen arbor that I bought online for $80. It's just like a tent with fiberglass poles, but all four sides are just screens.

No sure I would put wood in the ground like that. The wood will rot in just a year or two.

The car chicks' coop will be ready next weekend. Do they look ready for our GA temps?

It's treated 4x4's. That's the only way they sell 4x4's anyway.

Where was that meme that said "I don't always experience four seasons in two days..."?

Because this is a good example!



From 84 to 35 in just two days....

Mm hmm. Y'all think this'll be the last snap?

Just wondering... I cracked open an egg the other day and it had black speckles in the eggwhite, maybe looked like 6 or 7 large grains of dirt. I haven't had a lot of time to read up on it but the one I did read said probably bacteria? I didn't use it, but should I be worried about the other ones? Is there anything to do to treat it?

Ummm. I had one this morning with that stuff on the yolk. I et it. I'll let you know if I die.

Huh. Haven't run into this with my own eggs yet; I'm following this situation closely. So, carcar... how are you feeling this evening?

Hey everyone. Im not in GA, but I'm pretty close to it so I figured I'd join in here too!

HI!

I had a friend who lived very near Nashville for a while and some extended in-laws who live there now; I love visiting TN, it's so pretty.

The one was successful and it appears we have a new little girl. The other two never pipped so we got 1 bird out of the 5 eggs.

Unfortunately, the little girl gosling I picked up Monday died suddenly. No apparent symptoms, just on her back and then dead a few minutes later. Her brother is still doing ok though.

Aw nuts . I'm sorry; I know how much you guys really wanted those geese. So you've got one pair out of all of that? You should google synonyms for "lucky" to name them.
*Just FYI, if I ever have geese (or just one lone goose), the head of the flock will be called "Silly".

Checking collars to see which one is Odyssey, and it's her!

Hello there!

A very happy girl and her puppy.

So much excitement makes a kid sleepy.

I'm a foster grandma . I can't wait to introduce her to the farm in a few weeks when the assistant zookeeper is home for the summer!
