    Chickens, dogs, sheeps, a horse and all my humans...

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Gussie is all alone, but I'm not sure how to introduce goslings

    Thanks for calling me out; I KNOW I mean "African" (and you've seen me do it before @oldhenlikesdogs and graciously redirected me). This is at least the third time I've written Egyptian. Once I make a mistake, I like to stick with it, apparently 🤣 Good thing McMurray doesn't even sell...

    Gussie is all alone, but I'm not sure how to introduce goslings

    Thanks for your good wishes and sharing your experience! I have already placed an order for three goslings and hope it all works out. I only ordered one Egyptian but also am getting a Toulouse and an Embden; all are female and are expected to ship the week of March 30. I still haven't expanded...

    Companihens chickens

    Wonder what's bothering Percy? Too bad one shell was so thin, but what BEAUTIFUL dark eggs!! Hurray for Grey! I knew there was a blizzard on the way Sunday. So I let all the girls out Saturday during the sunny, calm before the storm to scratch and peck at piles of fallen leaves and make...

    Stinky Acres Farm

    Snowflake is one lucky girl. And, even though Ladybug will be traumatized, at least she will have Snowflake to help her through it. Best wishes with your sweet survivors!

    How completely horrible! I am so sorry that you lost your beautiful girls. :hugs No doubt, Snowflake and Ladybug will be traumatized, but thank goodness they were spared! I hope that wretched fox doesn't bother them again.

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

    Neither the lemonade nor the Kool Aid sound good. You folks in Wisconsin drink strange stuff 🤣 Trixie is growing up -- and big -- so fast! Was she disappointed about not getting out to walk yesterday? BTW, she is a beauty! I was disappointed once the sun came up and I spotted the roof of the...
