Hi Tara! still here lurking and learning I agree that you should have gotten the FRIEND badge, or more accurately, the mentor badge I also agree that Yahoo is horrible. I too am saddled with Yahoo thru no choice of my own because of my landline/internet provider. They originally managed...

German Vorwerk pullets. Greenfire's lastest addition. They plan to start offering in 2017. Great! now another breed to add to my wish list.

Out in the field pruning trees and ONE single cloud comes over. It could have at least have been snow, I mean it was cold enough!!!

Hi Tara! yes, it is a local "joke" in these parts about the "factory" taters being so chemicaled that the missed ones will be found like the stuff in jars in the pyramids a thousand years from now! Perfect tater soil for the factory farms is basically dead soil. First, it's pre-emergent...

We live just 35 miles or so north of an area known as the "potato flats". It is an enormous ancient lake bed carved out by the glaciers long ago. This is potato country. A couple small dairy farms around the edges, rotational crops here and there of grain every summer but mostly just field...

A day early I know, but this way I am first!!! (I always thought you guys had a much more sensible day for your celebration. Yours is actually during the harvest!)

Hi Tara!!! No, I did not fall of the edge of the earth (or worse), just been very busy as the leg has finally healed as well as it's going to and had tons of things to get caught up on. The most of a year being slowed down, with a few months just stopped completely, sure put a crimp in the...

Yep. my thoughts. Not have my hopes up if it is Marek's for my last little red sex-link since she came from the same (found out too late) not so great hatchery as my Gravy and Nugget. Don't know if they were actually vaccinated and like I already mentioned, my Miss Noodle was never vaccinated...

Quote: Thank you for such a complete answer Tara! I plan to print out and keep it for future reference

after my own research, that is the conclusion I arrived at as well Deb.

that is why I am going to keep searching until I can find a vet that will do a blood draw on my last sex-link to find out once and for all if I have Marek's in my flock or not. I wish I could have afforded to send my little Gravy to the university for a necropsy since I was actually right there...

So very very sorry . So glad Fixins left peacefully , we will all miss her.

Ok, looking for some thoughts/ comments. What do you think Tara? http://www.news24.com/Green/News/Chicken-sexing-breakthrough-earns-award-for-German-scientist-20150324 The Chicken Whisperer 37 mins · Chicken-sexing breakthrough earns award for German scientist. (Many people don't like...

OH CRUD Just read that the H5N2 bird flu virus was found in a professional turkey farm in Minnesota. It hit so hard that over 1000 birds were dead before they discovered it with another 800 will be destroyed. So far none has been discovered outside this facility but all backyard flocks...

Thoughts anyone? Kind of reminds me of the old song, "Tennessee Bird Walk"

Good morning northern neighbor Whole different flavor, huh? I haven't processed any of ours yet (my idiot roo was actually a very pretty Aussie so had no problem finding him a new coop) but I regularly buy organic, well raised hens from a local guy at our farmer market. No comparison to those...

Oh my, Bama!!! Thank you for the kind words but I had a hang nail compared to what you went thru! My very short stint in the chair gave me a real, honest understanding of what those who are truly confined to a chair must endure tho. It really is funny how I've come to realize all the little...

This year mostly healing from a nasty tumble I took in the fall so spent wayyyy too much time on the laptop, reading on the Kindle and discovered too many interesting nature and such programs on the satellite. Getting back to busy now tho. Have a pile of "round2it" jobs pushed back to winter...
