After loosing both parents in 166 days my life is very slowly returning!
Picked up 6 Bovan Browns (I’m sure they’re just the same as all the brown production hens) but they’re mine and they’ll be on grass bugs and layer feed.
The girls put out 4 peewee eggs today. The first eggs never get old...
Well hello everyone. Yes I've been away for a long time. Where do I start OMG?
In December 2017 my parents were in a bad accident. Although they had many health concerns they were very stable and very independent. The accident started their decline. My fathers was under control for kidney and...
If they are younger the eggs should get bigger in size. I do have one that lays Medium. My birds are now 2 years. I'll not buy Azures again. They have great layer feed along with oyster shells but the shell quality from 2 of the 4 is very poor. That coupled with the crazy attitude they have...
I have 4 that were bought from Freys, grown out to pullet’s and resold.
They look like Leghorns with brown, black or slate spots. I also have 2 brown sex links. The Azures are very flighty and spooky. The shells are a pale blue. At least 2 of them have low quality shells. I personally wouldn’t...
Congratulations! I find them quite flighty! I also find the shell quality and egg production has dwindled as they have aged comparing to my Bovin Browns of the same age.
Well I’m a little late but the my garlic dried nicely and we’ve been using it Mmm! I shared a bit with family and friends and no doubt will share more. I’ll be storing it and picking out my seed for October after I see how it performs while in storage. I’ve included a couple of pictures. The...
Mine articles plants are drying nicely, I see the beautiful lush pink and purple shades developing. I have a good variety of sizes some very large bulbs (I assume with my limited experience). On average the bulbs have 4-7 cloves as. Described by most suppliers.
I’ll update after another week...
Sorry to hear about the bad weather, a crazy year indeed. I am from eastern Canada, I have friends in N/W Iowa, been pheasant hunting there 5 times beautiful place. I hope the corn harvest goes well.
Cheers
Well even though the tips of my garlic leaves yellowed earlier in the season I’m very happy with the bar so far. Some of you may remember I planted over 100 cloves of the hard neck porcelain MUSIC variety. We have had a miserable summer started with very hot and dry then cold and dry then over 9...
I use these DOG PROOF TRAPS! Put corn or dry dog food in the bottom under the trigger. Make sure you stake it down. Put a white golf ball over the trap,it helps you see/check the trap from a distance. I highly recommend you buy the set tool because the spring is strong while setting with the set...
I would not rely on surge protection alone to save sensitive electronic equipment.
Sadly INVERTER equipped generators are much more expensive.
Here is a quote from the province of British Columbia Hydro
“Installing a surge suppressor or an uninterruptible power supply (with surge suppression)...
Hello, I noticed a week or 2 ago my first egg of the day was as laid just seconds before I checked the nest box. The egg as always was large but nothing out of the ordinary. I set the egg on the step while I continued a few garden chores. After the egg cooled down I couldn’t help but notice the...
