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

    My computer wouldn't play with me early this morning, but I wasn't surprised because the predicted thunderstorm was well under way. DISH TV was also knocked out. But, I could still watch a program on trumpeter swan restoration that I had DVR'ed last night. Several years ago, Moorland Pond --...

    Congrats on your larceny! It's 63 here, and I am pulling air in from a box fan in a living room window.

    I hope you got answers about what respiratory ailment the chickens might have; I worry so much when my birds have issues. That IS an impressive bunch of boxes!! It's good to hear that some of West Virginia is more pleasant than my recollections of it. Many years ago, I had to drive through...

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

    Yesterday was like experiencing weather on an endless loop of rinse and repeat. Downpours would be followed by periods of sunny steaminess, which would be followed by downpours and more sunny steaminess, from 5 a.m. until after 9 p.m. The ducks and geese were delighted; the rest of us, not so...

    Chicken etiquette?

    It's obvious that your flock is well loved, and clearly, they trust you enough to hop onto your lap or clamor for attention in the coop. I am envious of folks whose chickens love to be petted and held. I've owned my girls since they were days old -- some just turned one, others are as old as...

    Meet Goose Bochy and Honk Aaron!

    No idea what breed, but they are adorable! And, as someone who obsessively watches MLB Network, I LOVE their names!!

    Does anyone else have chickens that like belly rubs??

    You have a special girl! NONE of my flock would appreciate the attention she enjoys.

    Mine LOVE watermelon. But when I set out some cantaloupe, they eyed it with suspicion and contempt. Then, of course, they ate it!

    Jim, congrats on Ollie's better-than-ever performance! Beware of doing too much in the heat, though. Lisa, if it rains here, it's so hot I think it will just turn to steam!! I'll be refreshing water for the poultry -- and adding some prebiotics and probiotics AND handing out chilled watermelon...

    Two Extremes!

    Every honest chicken keeper will admit to making at least a few mistakes! That's how we learn to do better. Do they all live and sleep together all the time? Or, are the tiny Seramas too delicate to spend much time with the others? Looking forward to seeing how your babies grow!

    Why don't more people have ducks as pets?

    If messiness is an issue, well -- ducks are messy, deal with it! I adore my six runner ducks; they're silly and endlessly entertaining. But trying to keep their shelter floor clean and having to change out the water in their pool and dishes takes a lot of time and repeated effort. Still, I...

    Thanks! I never say anything ahead of time because my birthdays tend to not be fun. But yesterday was pretty darn good!

    Gee, I read the post and didn't notice the date -- which I SHOULD have because July 1 was my birthday! Of course, I've had so many of those that they aren't that big of a deal. Good catch, @Cebarmlds -- guess it's a good thing I'm not an editor anymore! How did I celebrate? Well, I was down to...
