I order a load of wood chips and put them in and around the coops. If I could’ve found a tree trimmer to dump a load, it would’ve save some money.

I’ve been there! My Dad was a hoarder as well as a collector of stuff. Before he passed away I had the task of clearing out his huge place. We filled two 20 yd dumpsters. We also moved lots and lots of stuff to my basement and garage. When has passed away last year the stuff in his apartment...

No worries. They will adjust just fine. When we were newbies we gave them heat for two winters. They did fine the following year.

We've been so busy here the last 6 months. We've been cleaning out my Dad's place since he finally moved into an apartment closer to me. Working full time with three busy boys has made it tough to find down time. I injured my calf muscle, so here's my down time. Opa I hope you heal well. My...

Looks like everyone is ready for the white stuff. Not! Never! We're so darn busy moving my dad and cleaning out his house, that we're behind on getting winterized.

I'm in northern Oakland county, out by Pine Knob/DTE. The Jubilees are beauties. They big, fluffy and very friendly.

More cute baby goats!! My son keeps hatching chicks. If anyone needs Bielefelders, Jubilee Orpingtons, Tolbunt Polish or Swedish Flower Hens let me know!! The boy has an obsession!! Nice warmer weather today, but snow in the morning. Mother Nature needs to get a hormone patch, so her temp...

It's so nice seeing the chickens enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine. Friends of mine saw the northern lights in White Lake. I was working and missed them. Raz, heart surgeries have come a long long way!! Hopefully you get a top notch doctor who performs the latest technology. It will be for...

I just hatched a few chicks this past weekend. Bielefelders, jubilee Orpingtons and Tolbunt Polish. I might try a few Swedish flower hens later.

Finally caught up! This has been the coldest birthday I've ever had! My father-in-law shares the day with me and he said the same thing. I've had plenty of snow on that day but never such bitter cold! I lost one rooster to the cold. He liked to sit in the outside door, instead of huddling with...

So many newbies! Welcome! I just got the incubator going. I'll have Tolbunt Polish and Jubilee Orpingtons for my birthday. Here we go again! I need some new layers, so I might hatch some mutts too. My kids are off again today. Our back roads are in terrible shape. More snow tonight might...

Raz, so sorry about your dog.

Glambka, so sorry for your bad bite. My youngest had to have surgery on his ear two yrs ago. Instinct told the doctor he couldn't wait. If he had waited, my son most likely would've had meningitis that weekend. He'd gotten a bacteria from a hot tub. If your doctor is worried it's serious! I hope...

northern Lapeer County. East of Flint. Opa, MRSA is such a tricky bug! Because so many people have misused antibiotics and they've been over prescribed, you now suffer the consequences. Super bugs are formed and new drugs are needed to combat them. I sure hope they get to the bottom of your...

I think I finally caught up! So so busy! Opa that looks awesome! My flock of too many have decided they can lay eggs again. I really think they it was going to be cold and just held on for awhile. Most days I get a dozen now and that makes for happy co workers. So happy to see warmer temps...

I have too many chickens! They range from 3yrs old to hatched this year. Many different breeds too. Oddly, knock on wood, the hawks haven't been stalking my birds this fall. Yes the ol heat lamp talk will pop up now. After last winter I know for sure they don't need heat lamps. I didn't lose...

My girls are very frustrating! They stopped laying while molting. I dewormed them too. Well I haven't had an egg in 3 weeks. All that feed and no eggs. Argh! I haven't bought eggs in 3 tears. Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather.

This is totally not chicken related, but very good info! If you or someone you know has a chronic or terminal illness they can apply for a $2500 grant from Hometown Health and Hospice. They are having a 5k fundraiser on October 18 where an individual or family will be chosen to receive the...

Raz, the patio is looking great! We did one a few years ago and it takes many many hours! My husband and our oldest son did most of the work.
