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

    I think I MAY be getting a handle on my addictive poultry habit. My sister texted me yesterday from a Thiessen's where there were uncommon breeds of chicks for sale, including rare Russian Orloffs. I've never even seen one of those in person, only in books. She suggested I should drive to the...

    Wish I hadn't looked at Craigslist. Someone about 30 miles away has a 1-year-old Pilgrim gander, free to a good home. The gander lives with chickens, ducks and turkeys, but is the only goose. He's never even been around another goose. Owner can handle him but is concerned he's too much with...

    Jim, if your garage is anything like mine, there's likely enough materials to construct an entire building -- scattered about and impossible to locate until after you've bought more of whatever. Coffee grounds on onions? I've never done that. After buying kohl rabi seeds for my sister, I...

    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...

    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...
