    i wanna know how you got interested in chickens. lets Share our stories.

    Your love for Bunny was a gift for both of you. I've seen the bond between a human and another species heal in a way a person-to-person bond can't. Bunny changed you, and you gave her the best life you possibly could. Losing a beloved pet can be devastating. But, I remind myself that it's my...

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

    Isn't it true about many species -- our included -- that teenagers are often the problem :lau? Looks like you got up earlier than me today, Jim. I have been blissfully sleeping until after 4 o'clock for the past few days. I hope that continues. Congrats on losing snow and keeping your roof...

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

    Sorry about your apple trees! I was not familiar with Transparent or State Fair, and Googled them this morning. So, thanks to your unfortunate news, I learned something new already today. Hungry deer used to be a problem when I lived in town, above a creek and a wooded ravine. I came home one...

    Jim, did you get enough snow to see if it slid without removing the roof?? And, please DON'T close your eyes while cutting brackets, even if you can! Carolyn and I got a lot done, but she is suspiciously really busy all through April. Is it possible she doesn't want to come help me again? Hmm...

    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...

    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...

    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...
