Same experience here on the flying and wearing a path along the fence. However, ours are always squawking. They'll fly over the fence and then walk the paths on our property in the trees and prairie just screeching the whole time. They've even circled our house and stopped once they could see...

The ones in pots are in my workout/plant room, so they're getting light from my grow tent.

Ugh. Lots of shoveling yesterday granted me a huge pile of decomposing grass, leaves and chiclen poop. I hauled some off to my compost piles, but eventually just began piling it up in the large run area. That'll be a nice pile for them to scratch in.

Banana trees are all inside. Some are in my furnace room and others are planted in pots since they seemed to small to overwimter out of soil. Hopefully they all bounce back in the spring :)

I have a roundpoint one that is cracking vertically on the handle and then across the blade where yours is. One of these days it'll disappoint me in a moment of need

Minnesota here. So I purchased a used snowblower at the end of last winter. It is a John Deere 826. It starts fine and runs and did work for a little while but by the end of winter when the blades hit snow it would greatly reduce spinning power and essentially not actually throw any snow. It...

My wife really wanted the guineas. I think she just wanted more birds and was okay if they flew off. The ducks are for eggs amd eventually meat. The stories I hear of guineas flying off are hilaripus :)

Yeah. The ducks are Pekings.

These guys

So dumb. Just. So. Dumb.

Very much so :) Though getting them back in will be fun once winter is here :/. I don't think I can emphasize enough how dumb those keets are.

We just got done fencing in a much larger area for our chickens, ducks & keets. To move from this To this: The keets can just fly over it, but they come back for treats. This was more about the chickens and ducks since they just ruin everything in a yard that has mulch.

I'm always losing my soil knives and clippers around the yard. I should do that. My dad did the same thing when he worked construction. He also replaced all the cords with twist lock ends, so people couldn't easily use his tools

I like that lever method.

That certainly supports my pulling tactic. How old is your son? Some of those thistle are hard to pull for an adult

This is basically my approach with cutting it at the base when I don't have the time to devote to yanking it out: tire it out & starve it from a successful photosynthetic process. I've heard people go the vinegar route. Maybe I need to invest in a backpack sprayer and just coat the whole damn...

Multiple acres. I'll also add the imgredient that I have 5 young kids and an on the property tree farm, so time is always lovely :)

So, it's getting into Autumn here in Minnesota. Leaves are falling, turkeys are running around and my neglected jalapeno, scotch bonnets and tomatoes are wilting. Soon enough the cold will come, snow will fly and then the season known as mud will begin again and with that will start the whole...

Wow!!! No, with us I am finding 5 or 6 eggs with broken holes in the sides or completely broken apart, like someone pecked it apart

Thanks, everyone. The layers are just over a year old, so there aren't any "old gals" quite yet. They are not free ranged this year. Last year we let them roam but chickens do as chickens do and the wrecked all my gardening and lanscaping. We're actually working right now on fencing in a...
