Cap, those are adorable! I'm getting two 3-week-olds tomorrow, a Barred Rock and a Speckled Sussex. Our two remaining are Blackbird (Black Australorp, queen of the pecking order) and Buffy (Orpington). I like them to be different so I can tell them apart, and we are not eager to get one who...

Ron, this is awful to hear! I'm so sorry! And about that dentist - he or she should be paying for the work that is now needed due to previous negligence. That is appalling!

Here is the late Callie, looking fierce. She was anything but fierce! Sorry sideways.

Hi everybody - I dropped in because I'm reading about how to integrate new chickens into the flock. Well, "flock" isn't the word, because I only have two left. A bear got my larger Buff Orpington months ago (and we have triple-reinforced the coop). Then yesterday, something (likely a coyote -...

Very best of luck, chickadoodles!

Welcome, Grammapat4! There's a lot of inspirational chicken talk on this site - be forewarned! You might end up with new chicks, and soon! Nice to have you here.

Please, give it to us! We are having a heat wave (80s daily) and no rain. Which began moments after I put a million seeds into the ground in the gardens! DH complains daily that I will run the well dry with watering. Hi, Old Folks! I'm stopping in and saying hello. Sorry I've been away so...

Oh yes. This year I can ski at both Killington and Okemo, and they make snow all the time, but fresh, real snow is the best. I had a chance to ski at Bolton Valley - wow, these mountains are high! We are in the cold tonight. It's -6 now but supposed to get colder. The wood stove is...

It's nice I dropped by today, though, as I just got a one-year anniversary trophy! :celebrate❄⛷🎿

Well, although I haven't disappeared completely, I have certainly been scarce (as hen's teeth?). I blame it on ski season, as you seem to have guessed. I take care of my chickens, but my focus is really on skiing. I've gotten much better this year! I'm actually skiing at a speed that...

Oh! And speaking of darling granddaughter- Sorry sideways! I have been unable to fix this!

I haven’t disappeared completely! I got busy with family drama, relationship issues that needed tending, babysitting darling granddaughter, and ski season. And working 1-2 days a week. So sorry to neglect you all! My other forum is a women’s ski forum and it was calling me often, given that...

If I missed a “Like” on your post please forgive. My thumbs are too big to hit the button just right! it looks pretty good to me. I’ve been able to roll with the changes. And I think my broody is broken! She laid an egg in her cage. I let them all out, most of the day, and she didn’t return to...

It's not terribly cold tonight or the next day or two, but after that . . . I did let them all out today to explore new additions to the compost pile. But after she headed back to the next a few times, I had to lock her up. Poor clucker. So determined. But many of us are familiar with...

Hello all - I’ve got an unwanted (and pointless) broody, no rooster. Borrowed a cage for her and hoping for a quick resolution. I hate the idea of her out there on cold nights in the (completely secure) run. Otherwise all is well here. Rain and temps in the 50s, but going down to 19 tonight...

At least! I’ve lost count and can’t remember things...

Happy new year, Old Folks! May 2020 bring you healthy chickens and plenty of eggs!

Love that new avatar, @penny1960 !

Snowboarding lends itself to this sort of fall. Actually, she is remarkably bright. A degree from NYU and an executive position at a major tech company. But that's no protection against a mountain, snowboard, and a surface of ice.

Thanks everybody, for the sympathy! This young woman is 30 and has an executive position. She texted me using voice texting, so I expect she will be able to manage at work, if she can get there. Lives in NYC so probably she can work it out. But what a crappy Stowe vacation! One of the most...
