I meant to agree and talk about those 👍 👆👆👍 the other day and never finished catching up on the thread.
Was thinking today after sitting with the windows up and it working it's way to 100 that maybe I should've fully fixed the ac in the rig truck. It works. I never could get the one flange to...
I have a t.v NOW that the remote doesn't work half the time or more. The thing that hacks me off is, I found out it's in the t.v. not the remote. I can't even stand up to change the channel, adjust volume and often after hitting the power button on my way out the door I come home to find out...
You can do a lot less work for a little more $$$$. For me it's worth the effort to not spend the money. More of just the thought that I can make things work without the fancy stuff. But I was mentioning to the wife the other day, having another brooder box like my other one, just split in...
Grrr??? I love it when I get another broody. The wife said today she thinks we have one more hen going broody. I've thought about switching to all old english game chickens for their broodiness, mothering and excellent predator awareness/ ability to survive. They also have bigger egg than my...
:lol: My first thought's after seeing that pic. What the?? not chicken feed that I've ever seen.... oh dog food??? no and why's the chicken eating it??? oh yeah they'll eat anything.
I wouldn't make them get up. That's just me though, she knows what she's doing.
Odd fact. Normally they have that one huge poop at night which is almost the same combined poops all day out of the coop combined. She's just not pooping on her eggs.
Congrats on the new babies.
And we have...
I was looking at that winter chart the other day when you posted it. I should have saved it. I'm not sure if we're in the same zone.
I always plan on more spinach and potato's in the fall. Here we are about to hit our 6-8 weeks of 100+ temps. If not like last year we can make it into late...
When the ac did work in my truck, or any of them, the only time I used it was when I stopped and had a dog or person in the car. Then turn it off once rolling again.
I mowed down some grass and picked a few weeds before watering again. I finally just watered by hand. It's so dry around the garden I need every inch of water that the sprinkler throws out of the garden. Or do it by hand then put the sprinkler in the pasture, then the yard. I was going to put...
:lol: Loved it.
I know it's coming on summer and it's hot down where bay is. But it ain't that hot here. I took a pic and can't get it to the computer. Day before Yesterday I left a cheapo lighter in the farm truck in the cup holder. Yesterday I get in to go get another tub of water. I wonder...
My farm truck hasn't been tagged or insured in years. Several years ago they remade our tags. No option to keep the old one. So I redid the insurance and tagged it, so you couldn't see the old tag from a distance and know I wasn't tagged. A couple of years later, they redid the tags again so...
I've dug and picked a couple of wagon fulls of Thistle. I kept thinking with their nice flower and actual good uses, that I should put them for sale on face book or whatever is trending now. I just need to put some words after it, like farm fresh, non gmo, all natural, "organic" and whatever...
Broody season on this farm usually coincides with rat snake season starting. (when alive) The good broody hen would set 2 weeks then the eggs disappeared, a few days later we'd find the snake. A new batch of eggs and a week later again, then we'd find the other snake. They are always in pairs...
McMurry "used to" send an extra random chick with all orders. It's been years since I've ordered from them.
Some will stay on the nest at all times that you notice. They know what they are doing. I've seen some that it seems they don't eat or drink for a week. It's all good and they may be...
Side note. I've seen bantams that would set 8-10 big chicken eggs, aaaaand today is day 18 on our incubator of Cornish/backyard Cornish eggs.
No broody hen this year like normal but lost several hens last year due to predators.
