    I'm glad you're feeling better about your "new life." As always, I am hoping for the very best for you. Sounds like Finnegan is off to a good new life, too. Hope it works out for everyone. It's great that a group helped you rehome him. When I tried to rehome the three strays two years ago, I...

    Nearly new chicken tender

    With two years of experience, you've probably already dealt with enough challenges and adventures that you're a pretty decent "chicken tender" now and can offer guidance to newbies. But, there's always more to learn and this is a great community full of folks who are happy to share knowledge...

    Also, I forgot to add the very strong smell of regular and cecal poop!

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Not sure my sister will ever willingly visit again. Every "small" project turned into a much larger one. For example, Menards had a set of heavy duty metal shelves that I wanted for the garage addition. We used her SUV because they were too large to fit in my Ford Focus and too heavy for me to...

    Chickens in the bathtub...

    Since you asked, here's why I would never intentionally have a house chicken (once my Dottie finally expires; it's been 6 years). There's the mess. Dottie has never had chicken diapers, so when she "free ranges," there's a lot of clean up involved. When she's in her Very Large wire dog kennel...

    Sounds like you have a full house and a great sense of humor! The latter is especially helpful in dealing with the former. Welcome to BYC and best wishes with all your critters!

    Chickens in the bathtub...

    Loved your intro! First off, Marge is right -- she is perfect. Second, HURRAY for anyone who broods in the bathtub while WELDING a coop! Beyond amazing in my book. Third, I admire your husband for considering a diapered, indoor chicken. I've had a house chicken for six years. If he gets...

    Golden Delicious, huh, Lisa? I'm a Granny Smith girl. But, at this point, I'd be happy if ANY tree lives long enough to produce. Deer aren't my big problem (lots of open fields with nowhere close for them to hide). But any trees that survive end up with wrapped trunks and "cages" of hardware...

    Gussie, on the other hand, is happy to lie out in the run, declining my invitation to come into her shelter after I removed the snow. She'd rather be out in the sun, as the high, cold wind blows relentlessly. What variety of apple tree did you get? I am the Queen Apple Tree Killer. All the...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Gee, spring seemed like it was almost here -- until it wasn't. I am extremely grateful that winds blew most of the snow off the driveway and I won't have to shovel it. However, all of the runs need to be cleared out. My sweet, delicate (read that as: spoiled rotten) hens are refusing to come...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Wisconsin must have gotten the blizzard that Iowa was supposed to get. There's been frigid cold and high winds, but I'd be surprised if there was 2 inches of snow. Wind gusts were up to 60 mph but are a mere 20-something now. Lisa, I love the photo of the geese and I'm sorry that -- on another...
