Wow! That's crazy.
So, I decided I'd pop in for a visit and see how everyone on Planet BYC is doing.
After being almost completely chickenless for the last 5-6 months due to predator attacks, I think I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. I took a break because I was simply tired of losing chicken after chicken, especially after putting in so much time, effort, and not to mention...
Send me good luck vibes, everyone. Pray that my memory doesn't fail me. My drivers ed final is tomorrow and I'm nervous. I think I have it, but I tend to go blank when it comes to tests. So everyone cross your fingers and pray I pass with flying colors.
Then comes road skills. And I'm still...
I wanted to make a suggestion for all the BYC ladies who're married, going to be getting married, in a relationship, etc.
My mom and I are reading a book that has been a blessing. It's by Michael & Deborah Pearl (founders of No Greater Joy ministries). It's titled "Created To Be His Help-Meet"...

My wonderfully amazing boyfriend is helping me re-do my chicken yard & coop from inside out. Replacing bad boards & fencing, reinforcing the wire, putting up new doors, cleaning out my brooder, etc. so I can...

Someone on anothg GJF thread mentioned trying to find this, and I had it in my e-mail inbox from ages ago. Enjoy the laugh.

I'm now down to three chickens. Over forty have disappeared randomly in the matter of three weeks. I don't hear anything, no feathers, no remains...nothing. They're all locked up snug and tight at night, too.
I'm excited for hurricane season. I just want a few massive storms...you know, high winds, dark clouds, rain...the works. And then I'll be happy. It's too hot right now. Just a small storm would make me happy.
I stumbled across a nice young womans blog about her new homesteading life, and read an entry about her mother (mother-in-law, maybe?) giving her fresh from the farm eggs. She gave the information she had about hens, and what she'd learned. So, I e-mailed her and told her for further...
