    Really weird. It's empty today, too, when I try to quote.

    Yep. That was some of why NM didn't bother him much.

    My hubby is from the central valley {Newman}. Culturally, it may be close, depending on where you live. We are rural farming, and there are lots of migrant workers. I really think it's going to depend on you. If you plug into a church, you're likely to find more like - minded folks. One if the...

    Beach? Northern NM can be nice, and isn't as hot. But we didn't live there.

    That's perspective, lol. In NM, we'd hit triple digits by the end of April and stay there until September. The wind would blow hot enough to burn you. We used to say we had 2 seasons- windy, and hot and windy. I survived there for 17 years. NC is my nirvana, lol.

    Chicago and MN do have the humidity. Not necessarily the same summer temps, though. The humidity doesn't bother Me, but my NM desert-born-and-raised kids {less the youngest, who is almost 13 and doesn't remember a whole whole lot} don't much like it and think it stinks. :gig You could not PAY...

    Hunny is a Ca boy and I'm a Mi girl. Prices are crazy high out there! We've had so many job opportunities out there, but we need acreage for the horses, too. We'll never move there. And traffic sucks. The housing market here is fantastic.

    LOVE IT. We've been here 4 1/2 years now, and I have zero plans to leave. We're NE NC, 2 hours from the beach we like or 1 and some change from another; 30 minutes from Va, and 2 from the mountains. We are very rural, but can get to everything in 25 minutes. 1.5 hours from great medical at UNC.

    NEish here- north and a tad east of Rocky Mount.

    I agree. I would not close with glue for a while. After irrigating REALLY well, I'd use raw honey {anti-bacterial; anti-microbial; anti-fungal.} Next choice would be slippery elm paste several times a day as needed {same as the honey}. Vetericyn spray is another that works well. I absolutely...

    Yes. They can be mixed in with clean legged bantams, too. Silkies have 5 toes and dark navy skin.

    Fb= Facebook. You won't find chicken info on the TSC website until Chick Days, which are spring time.

    What they have in stock will vary from day to day; week to week. You can order specific breeds, but there is a minimum of 20, and 5 per breed. They'll also have ducks and mixes not listed on the order form, and they usually always have meaties.

    Not always. I have gotten some great silkies {usually come from Privett's} and some not so good ones. That being said, I've never gotten any with a single comb, like I saw at a backyard "breeder." Usually, they are pretty close to breed standard. If someone wants show quality and not pet...

    Yes. They're straight run in the mixed bantam bin.

    This was the boldest snatch-n-grab I've heard about. There's always the risk, of course. Some things you can't actually prevent unless you hover 100% of the time with a shot gun. Other things {like chicken wire instead of hardware cloth} you can.

    Afaik, hawks are protected regardless. Pinwheels seemed to help quite a bit, if that helps anything.

    Because we like them. We had about 175ish. Estimates are around 1/4 gone.

    We had a pack of coyotes hit yesterday. Lost at least 10 of my boys. We are heartbroken.
