Evening all,
Hope you all stayed warm, Just heard Tuesday into Wednesday will be colder than last year. The Ladies are doing well, I opened up their enclosed run, they came outside for a while. Got 6 eggs from 8 of them. Glad the heater is still working a balmy 40 degrees in the actual coop...
morning all, -9 here, took the chows for their morning walk.3 layers of clothing and a mask you don't even feel the cold. I let out the chickens into their covered and enclosed run. No outside for them today. Egg production is still good. Big plans of watching Dowton Abbey tonight until I...
Wow never thought you would be chicken less, I must have missed a lot, what brought this on, no birds at all? The puppies are adorable. Soon you will have as many dogs as I have. Hope everyone is well in your family. I see your neice in Law (Amy) from time to time, she didn't tell me any of...
Hi all, Jim you told me to check in so here I am. Sorry I have been quiet, Lots of stuff going on with job and family. I still have Chickens, JIM what the heck, did you sell all of your chickens??? I never thought I hear you say you bought eggs. My flock is grown up now and get from 4 to 7...
Beautiful day everyone, I took the chows for their walk way to hot for them. Jim your new dog is beautiful
Thanks to all those who gave their lives for us and those who are still with us.
CC My condolences on your cat. She was well taken care of and loved to have lived 18 years
Delisha, Going to reinforce the coop this weekend. Just got notification that the chicks have been shipped today, Hopefully they will arrive on Friday. I got them from Cackle. The ladies were buff orpingtons and slw. I ordered buff and Black Australorps. Does the post office call you when...
Morning all,
I ordered chicks yesterday. I normally get them from Abendroths but they are closed on the next Friday, The day I have off so I splurged and got Buffs and black astrolaps to be delivered this friday.
It should be warm enough and maybe just maybe I will get eggs by the fall
Thanks all, I saw the dogs running down the highway about a mile from where I live. I have never seen them so I am hoping they were just passing through. Tomorrow I will reinforce the coop and keep and eye out for the dogs. I hope they are gone for good. They dug down about a foot then pushed...
I can't see any open fracture, when I picked her up there was blood but I can't find the wound. I gave her some water and food but she only drank, poor thing
Hi Everyone, hope all is well. This morning I had a horrible thing happen, 3 huskies broke into my coop and killed 7 out of 8 chickens. I had let them out an hour before and then walked the dogs, When I came back 3 huskies had apparently dug 1 foot to get into the coop and had done their dirty...
Morning all,
Yesterday had to put the ladies in the enclosed pen, The wouldn't go out n their own. Today, I am going to replumb my pond. My pump died last year, got a new filter and pump and increased the water pressure so I have to replace the hose. Should be nicer than last year...
Dr. Ha Ha, Great to see you back. Yes I do worry way too much. Yes sticking with the slw. They are really pretty birds. One day I will get Columbian wyandottes. I handled these more so hopefully they will be not as skiddish. It appears the ladies stayed inside the coop all day. I put...
good morning,
the ladies survived the night, Just the space heater and it was around 70 degrees, I opened up the enclosed coop, so hopefully they will explore it today
Off to work
have a good day
Jim, it is up high, cooler on the floor, they seem indifferent. I shut it off and turned on the ceramic heater. It was 80 degrees in there, I misread the temperature. Looked at the wrong angled. The ceiling was hot, so I think it is safer without it. They have some feathers and about 6...
