now it makes sense. :D RIP Bob.

someone have the munchies?

I sympathize with you. Would you consider re-enacting it with a videographer? Mom's cast iron griddle just cracked on the new induction stove with a loud gunshot. I jumped. I smiled every time I made pancakes and thought of her. I will use one of her other cast iron pans and smile. We...

Good information. Eggshells, shrimp shells, crawfish shells, bugs and the like for added calcium. A bowl of crushed oyster shells on the side is good too. I feed the flocks eggshells back to them without doing anything else. If you have shells from an unknown flock is when I'd worry about...

egg thief! Amazing how smart they are. Beware and close the door.

What kind of con are you running? ;)

Yep. I parked on the leeward side of the building. As I walked around the corner, here comes the wind. Umbrella goes down into the wind and my shoes fill up with water. Fun day with wet socks!

We are getting rain. The sideways kind. That is always special. It started at bedtime with a very impressive lightning storm. I'm grateful the ditches aren't full and the roof is still inplace. Hope everyone has a good stormday.

Grandpa would be proud of that one. How big?

We need new blood for the flock. My buddy with the other rooster just got with me and I'm not willing to deal with chicks either. So maybe a fall hatch? I can hope someone goes broody so I don't have to chase chicks. While I'm not thrilled with the idea of feather footed Brahmas in this...

I don't remember. I did not candle this hatch and after the last chicken hatch with all clears and one rotten, I wasn't up for candling. I misplaced my good flashlight too, so it wasn't easy with the little, dark quail eggs.

Benadryl works for more than putting kids to sleep on long car rides. unless this is a scheduling issue. If it is, it can be fixed. Our friends gave us a quick flu last week. I slept for 12 hours straight and still feel bad. But that is how I knew I caught something. If I am asleep, don't...

Yes, be confident and able to practice. The problem with the catapult is getting enough cows. :lau

agree. If you target an entry or create a funnel to know what is using the entry, the snares can be limited. The use of cameras will show you what is using the path. I agree with your solution of putting up fencing. Deer fencing and then reinforce that for the rock chucks. That allows...

Verify the ordinance states "gun" which specifies explosive force. gun /ɡən/ noun 1. a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise. But arrows, slingshots and dart guns are...
