It sure is! We went from 1/3 acre in town in the Bay Area to 10 acres in the foothills! I love having all my chickens including roosters on my own property! We have 300 ft of electric netting around our chicken yards. Almost 2 years into living here and we have not had any problems with...
Deciding when to retire is a tough decision. Last week I read a story about an 80+ he old woman in FL whose health insurance payment is jumping from under $100 per month to almost $700 per month. My DH is now thinking that he might have to work until he is 70. It will be a long commute for him...
I hope that you are right! He is 62 and was planning on retiring next summer. He needs both knees replaced and is having the first one done next week. He needs to work until 1/1/2018 in order to get the healthcare benefit. But we have to consider my healthcare and we still have 1 minor child.
George said that they are thinking about changing that. We are just watching and waiting to see what happens. He told me that they can even take that benefit away from people who have already retired. I hope that that will never happen.

Sarah Cromwell with Heavenly Feathered Farms in Modesto has white crested black polish. I thought that she used to be on BYC but I don't know if she still is. She is on FB.
Hi, All! My laptop crashed a few weeks ago and I finally spent the time to get my dinosaur desk top up and running. Now, I get to figure out how to navigate the new site! I've been busy hatching blue/black/splash Langshan and Pita Pinta. I need to snap a few new pics to share.
Will do! We will have to arrange a time. I will probably be moving my Pita Pinta breeding flock to the farm. Pedro is driving my husband crazy with his crowing! I think that I will switch out roosters for a while and put an older boy in with the girls. I am winding down on my breeding for...
I've been looking over the list carefully. I feed them King Freedom layer pellets along with sprouted grains and extra fruit, vegies, etc. I also give them wet mash in the AM with calendula flowers, kelp, and dried alfalfa added. I make sure that the layer pellets are the majority of their...
