Hey all---I haven't been in here for quite a while! Just wanted to say hi once again; I have a new computer and I don't know my email password (to those of you that email) so I won.t be answering or reading any messages until we figure it out. I don't know about you, but I HATE getting a new...

Well HI! I figured I oughta pop in before the bash weekend. I sure hope to see many and many of you there! I will go to the link so kindly posted by our fearless leader Brent and see what's up. It feels kinda good not to be in on all the planning...BUT, I'm thinking if anyone has any of the...

Hi all--so fun to check out stuff here on BYC again! I see we still have a bit of "ahem" controversy still alive...everyone please remember that what we say in the written word sometimes comes across as crass or sarcastic; when it was not really meant in that sense. Glad to be back here...not...

Well hello everyone! I have been gone from here for a loooong time....but the bash IS coming up and I popped in to find some info about my incubator... Anyhow, I see no one has posted a thread dealing directly with the BASH. Will anyone do that? or are we good here? Food info? I have a 4 day...

Just so you dont have to talk to yourself....Hi Jim! TerriO

Fried--your chickens have nice down coats on! As long as they are draft free and dry you will not have problems. Make sure the perches are flat so their feathers can cover their toes so they dont freeze. I also like to keep the water out of the coop so it stays drier. You can start building...

Just watched this Jim...funny lady and lots of good info! Good luck with the beetles! TO

I use a mixture of DE, wood ash and a couple shakes of Sevin for my birds to dust. When I find a spot they like I just add the mixture to it...bye bye lice! Works pretty darn well. According to that link Jim I would think that DE would work well on the potato bugs since they have a soft...

I am all caught up again...well, here anyway! Just waiting for the rain to stop and heading out to pick raspberries. Neighbor posted a pick of hers and reminded me to go and check. YUP--ready! The garden is looking good here too. I have been trying to stay on top of the weeds. Early work is...

Good morning--last day of prep at the fair before they open the gates. We still have a lot to do. You would think that the fair employees would realize that it comes every year and that the perimeter fence we use needs power washing after being stored in a dusty building all year! They are...

Hi all---BL4 you must have had the same idea as me! On that Polish (I dont raise them so just a guess) I was thinking male because of the length of the tail already. Are there any neck feathers lengthening that are pointy? Or saddle feathers? That is how I tell early on mine...

I have lamented this for years! I pretty much just let the house BE in the summer...well, I used to anyway--now I just let it do it's thing all year! LOL! I hate when you try your hardest to save them and they still die on you! Sorry for your efforts and your loss. Lots of times now when I...

Give me a woodchuck any day! THe fox here has 4 kits that play in the pasture...some x-marine is supposed to be coming over to shoot them. I thought today but didnt see anything... I had a guinea hatch today and a few turkey eggs are pipping. Hopefully they will hatch cause that fox got the...

Hi again...I am changing my siggy to reflect the bash info...I cant believe this is the seventh year already! Birds4kids...just bring those kids and yourself to the bash and say what kind of eggs you want...someone is sure to have something at least close! LOL! OK better change that siggy...

Never saw a badger attack but soem friends of mine have one that is living on their property. THey posted some pics. I remember seeing only one when I was really little. It was at my Uncles' house and my Dad ran after it and shot it. We got to check it out up close like! So I cam on to find...

I just typed a huge response on this phone and lost it...I will add the pic and then I'm DONE. Guess you will all just have to suppose what I said.

Just popping in to say HI! I am only about 1350 posts behind; guess I wont be reading up on them all. Glad to see some new faces on here! (and of course old ones as well) My chickens are going great guns now...up to nearly 3 dozen eggs a day. I made a new egg sign today as I have lots to...

Hey all--just checking in! I came by cause I seem to have a weasel or mink and need to find out how to make a trap that can catch them...my box traps are not working and I have 4 pigeons in the back room waiting to be butchered as I type...also offed two young pullets because their legs were...

MMM--fresh panfish! Lucky you! Hi all--been AWOL for a while--work is consuming all of my time along with the garden and the kids! We had fun last night at Rhythm on the River. The wine was pretty pricey but the music was good. Dinner tonight was chicken and corn on the cob (all grilled)...

Hi all...stuff is hatching like crazy here so I think I will soon have replaced all the birds that the foxes have eaten! Too bad I have to grow them up before they give me anything! Found the den and am working with extension to get a CO bomb for it. Quail hatching to day...I wish I had some...
