This is the idea, because I'd really like to have the girls hatch as much as possible for me, reducing the amount of time I have to mess with an incubator. The BLRW are a dual purpose, and two of the 3 hens I have are proven broodies. The last few times setting up at Mt. Hope, I've been the...

The problem for me is wanting to go out of town for a week and having to worry about someone caring for Poultry. The heifer doesn't need the every day care like the small animals do.

I'm sorry about Donki!

Ok, I think that ostritch would make me pee my pants!

We're excited about our changes here, too, as it opens a whole new world to us - but it means making other decisions, too...like to farm or not to farm?? At first I thought I wouldn't want to give up the farming, but now... :hu

I think if anyone on here knows anything about me, it's I'm addicted to my chickens and I really do enjoy having them. I need to make a list of pros and cons - reasons to keep or not to keep poultry. Seriously. The deal is this - we're going to have regular income. Enough income, that we...

:hugs

We had a wonderful fall day! Went to church this morning and Squeakers was a huge hit. It was her first Sunday in Church :) Then, friend R and her kids came to our house and we had an impromptu pizza party. Then, we packed up all 13 kids, ages ranged from 4 weeks (Squeakers) to 18, and we...

Yea, I'm not blaming the dog. The kennel has been used as a covered run for other chickens, but now we're planning to move the kennel out of there, and move the wire from the back chicken pen up to close off the existing chicken pen, since the kennel makes up 1 wall of the chicken pen. I...

LOL you're killing me!!

I didn't go to the Mt. Hope swap this weekend - and no, h*ll didn't freeze over :lol: 1 - I wouldn't have anything to sell 2 - too cold of a day to sit out, and I would have had to take Squeakers with me. BUT apparantly my presence is not required in order for me to purchase chickens :lol...

My prepping for this is fairly simple, as we've had it happen before. I think it was September 2008? Not really sure, but close to fall because we were wearing flannel shirts in the early mornings and evenings. We heat with wood, so warmth wasn't a problem. We kept a charcoal grill burning all...

Whoohoo!! I'm up!! Squeakers woke me up at 6 am, so I took care of her and she was back to sleep by 7! Other than her, E is the only one still even in bed!! :lol: I've had coffee, fixing to shower and then throw together some breakfast!! SEE YOU SOON!!

Have fun today! We've done the flea market thing off and on over the last 6 years, mostly because we needed to earn some kind of living due to E hurting his back. We really like the Treasure Island flea market in Wintersville, Oh. It's a newer market, and the set up is only $10, and after...

Life just keeps getting better and better for us!! :D

I dunno - because I didn't think to ask! I have cages/crates here.

Well, any part of the way a person would think they could drive it. We're hoping someone from her end can come out at least half way, and work on the rest from there. :) It's a 5 and a half hour drive from her to me, if that helps.
