I am working with Llewellyn Moon Sign Book. It is a tropical based almanac as opposed to a sidereal almanac. A tropical almanac is based on Aries being at 0 degrees at the equator. The sidereal is based on the position of fixed stars. Before we knew so much science we had to rely on the position...

I have some Barnrunner Bean seeds. I have way more than I need to replant this year. Would anyone want to trade seeds? These can grow up to 25 feet and have scarlet blossoms. I planted them along the western side of my house last year so they would block the sun off a bedroom that overheats in...

I am going to order some Pyncheon Bantams from Strombergs. I don't really want a full 25 though. If someone wants to split an order with me (you can order whatever breed you want) I would love to go halvsies.

I am trying to find our who has hatching eggs available this spring. I am getting a new incubator soon with all the bells and whistles. I have been debating what breed to settle with. I have some Olive Eggers that I have been learning the ropes with before tackling a rare breed. Since I have to...

I have fallen in love with Avast. I seem to have much less problems with security/spam issues.

Ohhhhh the Chick Days are here! I may have to find me a lavender cochin or two.

This summer I am going to be traveling between Nashville and Richmond, Virginia to see my brother. On the way back I am planning to pick up hatching eggs for myself. If anyone would be interested in me picking up for them along that route (primarily the I-40) let me know and we will try to...

You must have drunk more beer/apple ale than I have.

I am going to be traveling to Virginia from Nashville this summer to see my brother. I thought I might use the trip to pick up hatching eggs on the way back. Who of you on the I-40 have hatching eggs?

if I am remembering right, the mansions are equivalent to Houses of the Zodiac. Aquarius, Capricorn, ect., ect.

I am breathlessly waiting for my husband to file his taxes. He has promised me a new incubator after we purchase a proper refrigerator. Currently our refrigerator is a chest style Redddi Wip that was being thrown out from the grocery store where he works. Our former refrigerator bit the dust...

So who is having lambs this spring?I only have two ewes bred this year. One is an East Freisian-Lacune/Dorset ewe and the other is the same crossed with a Shetfindor.. The Shetfindor (Shetland/Finn/Dorset) ram as well as a ram that is a cross between a Shetfindor and an E.Freisian-Lacune/Dorset...

You might want to explore using Finn ewes. They have from 2 to 5 lambs and the goal of the breeding is to be able to feed that many. There have been a few exceptional individuals that have been able to feed 6 lambs. Of course they consume a larger amount than usual of hay and grain to be able to...
