That is what it meant historically. I would add coarsely ground grain-based feed to the whole or lightly cracked grains part of the description. I also think it matters how wet it is - more than dampened, less than particals freely floating in the liquid. And not fermented. There may be some...

If you feed and water them sometimes, c will find it easier to not come in a timely manner. Well, as timely a manner since it isn't anyway. Choice of frying pan and fire for you and the geese. :( Tax: Mocha

So often the attempts via laws make a bigger mess. Shipping asparagus from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere for example. Asparagus is among the top 20 vegetables eaten in both North America and Europe. I did a research paper on this in college. The US government choose a new...

Tax

Hm. Interesting. I thought the comeback (in North America at least) was mostly about how long it takes the forests to grow. The lumber baron era lasted about 20 years - 1870 to 1890 in Michigan, 1890 to 1910 in Wisconsin, 1900 to 1920 in Minnesota. I know the lumber barons moved in because the...

Taxes

^^ This. I couldn't see how plastic could be better than wood, despite being able to see some wood options are much better than others (type of wood, where it comes from, and such). I can now see plastic can be better in some situations. No mites. No insects that I didn't carry in to feed the...

Yup, when Mocha was setting, she would go straight for a bath every day, even before food or water.

Well, how much do you put out? How often? What is it? How long had her?

I'm not the best one to ask about gorging but I will try until someone else comes. How much does she eat? I would not try to approach her; that will feel like stalking to her. Just move around her as you focus on other things. Also, sit nearby doing anything with quiet movements (except look at...

Taxes Community bathing

She looks like a production red to me. Basically, rhode island red and white leghorn but not necessarily half one and half the other, sometimes with a little bit of othe breeds blended in. Some strains have other names: Isa Brown, Comet, Red Star are a few - those names are usually copyrighted...

Taxes. The neighbors out sunning one side then the other. They both had wings half spread when I drove past the first time. I see them and their friends often but not usually on top of a house.

Overdue tax

That is one way, perhaps. Another sustainable way is pasturing the land that is too dry and has limestone too close to the surface to be sustainably farmed other ways. It is similar to how it was when the buffalo roamed it. Not exactly, they roamed in herds of millions that moved hundreds of...

Community gardens are a thing in many areas of the US :). But nothing for chickens :( Tax: Nutmeg was egg songing and looking under the (totally inadequate) asparagus ferns so I brought one of the nest boxes out. Everyone had to check it out (two inside, two looking in)

Coco, Pepper, and Mocha are Black Australorps. Nutmeg is a Brown Leghorn. They will all be two years old in a few days. The plan is they will have regular time in garden (like most days) as long as I can still get enough produce from it too. If they eat or dig up too much of what I want to eat...

Thank you all for your encouragement and advice. These pictures are their first few minutes out in the garden, and a few pictures as they came to terms with the scariness of the shovel vs the joys of what the shovel turns up. Two pool noodles worked well to show them where to go. I just used...

Tax from last post and/or lurker tax.. Everyone likes their spring greens; this is midmorning today. It is an overcast day but not as dark as it looks - the camera didn't adjust well.

Could you give an analysis of what is going on with the hen that is in the first picture under "inspection" section? The one with the half plumed feathers
