    What's the temperature where you are???

    We use umbrellas for shade, too! Walking shade. Sometimes called parasols. It must look so odd to outsiders to see a bunch of people walking around with open umbrellas when there's not a cloud in the sky, lol.

    What made you happy today?

    All these comments about food and I came here to say what made me happy today is being in the middle of a 36-hour water only fast. 😳 😄

    Two questions about using predator urine to deter rodents

    Pee goals... this is my life now. Coyotes eat squirrels and other rodents, their urine is supposed to be a signal to move on because a predator is in the area.

    Has anyone successfully used baking soda to reduce or eliminate a rodent infestation?

    I keep reading that baking soda will kill squirrels and other rodents, mixed with equal parts of cornmeal as an attractant. Has anyone here had success doing this? It seems too easy to be true.

    Two questions about using predator urine to deter rodents

    1. If you buy predator urine online, how do you know that's really what you're getting? I imagine it's not easy to farm coyote or fox urine. How can you be sure the urine you buy is from a predator and not another animal (or a human - yuck)? 2. If it's legit predator urine, are chickens aware...

    Good questions. I didn't take it, it looks like it was done with a selfie stick in a Tucson backyard.

    Why do my Orpingtons prefer to huddle together on the floor instead of roosting or using their nests at night? How should I design their coop?

    Our flock of fifteen sleeps in a big fluffy pile in the pine shavings despite having lovely custom-made roosts that they use during the day. I don't know why they prefer the pine shavings. It's not cold here, nighttime temps are in the 70s and 80s. They're 8-10 weeks old and they've grown up...

    7 chickens and a run

    That's more than 17 sq ft per bird, plenty of room! Ours have ~15 sq ft per bird, and they're happy.
