Already showing a fondness for the pasture... Not least because the larger roosters are pushing them away from the chicken feed, and a goat near stepped on one.

Loose they have gone.

Loose they go, thank you!

For reasons related to my life outside chickens and ducks, which I don't share much of here for reasons of privacy and separation of farm life from the rest of it - I likely won't be redoing the hen house this weekend, won't be sending a goat to freezer camp, and may not be taking any cute...

That is something I can do, easily. I *maybe* dug too low with the tractor while levelling the ground at one end. Maybe. Thank you for sharing.

Haahahahaaaa. I won't. Both ends will be screened and left open. I'm running it parallel to prevailing winds, for good or ill. I may end up venting along the barn roof. This is a build first, fix the engineering later kind of project... The key is keeping the bugs off three months out of...

and I started a new thread (cooking old birds) - which was promptly moved to a forum I didn't know even existed. In case you had also forgotten that forum existed.

and... Britton Hill. Its a short drive from my place.

We are building ino the ide of a hill, then covering much of the house. Its called "earth berming". Uses the thermal mass of the ground to moderate temperature swings throughout the day. But poses some serious engineering challenges as well - mostly moisture control (a french drain will...

not quite 200' here at the high point, though the house is getting buried, floor is around the 160' mark.

Yup, still here - (35m sea level rise projection). I will say the local swamp has increased in size a bit. Will need a jon boat by that point. Don't plan on being around in that century.

there is a 60' change in elevation from where the RV is parked to where the driveway meats the street, or close to it. Sea levels could rise 100' and my place still wouldn't be a sodden mess, unlike most of FL. so.... Good? (Actually, the steady change in elevation is why when acre inches of...

This, loosely,is the FL Panhandle. If I included a bit more of Alabama, and a bit less of the coast, it would be called the "Wiregrass" for reasons you can likely guess at. In any event, doesn't seem like I'll be culling those extra drakes and roos this AM. Another line behind this (slow...

Could not manage to fit the 4th in frame. Given how big they are already, it's amazing how skittish turkeys are.

OK, I've done a head count, looked at the new chicks, looked at the old ducks, taken a quick survey of the male/female ratios. Setting another batch of chicken eggs this weekend. and hopefully processing four birds - two drakes, two roos.

I slept thru much of last weekend. My body stopped accepting no as an answer.

Just passed my latest npip recertification. Not much else, didn't accomplish as much as I had hoped last weekend.

Yes. That's a possibility.

Got hold of FWC. @NatJ was 99% of the way there. You can't hunt (or take) grey fox in FL because FWC hasn't established a season for them, nor declared them fair game. However, my fox, in my circumstances, qualifies as a nuisance animal. As it is on my own property, no permit required. And...
