    Companihens chickens

    I just discovered your thread today, and I am totally enjoying it! You have such characters in your flock and great, detailed descriptions of their behaviors. You clearly adore these lovely feathery creatures! I panicked a bit when I first read about chickens who roosted in stumps. I was...

    Getting back with a flock

    Congratulations on the great rural life you and Destiny are enjoying! Landseers are such beautiful dogs -- all that size and incredible markings, too. I hope when you get additional chickens, you'll let us know. I'm sure you're right that the youngest family members will be thrilled with fuzzy...

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

    It's a good thing I read and re-read the instructions because I didn't initially notice that direction to punch holes near the top of the jug. Of course, Seed Savers didn't say how many holes or how large they should be, so I will consider it a success if Anything survives!

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

    I forgot to mention that after talking about starting seeds outdoors in milk jugs in the winter literally for YEARS, I actually started some on Sunday. Using Seed Savers advice as a guide, I planted four jugs of flower seeds: two perennials (Purple Coneflower and Black-eyed Susan) and two...

    I'm mostly here for the ducks...and also everything else. 😉

    I think you and I could be friends -- dangerous friends who would encourage and enable each other to acquire more and more and more waterfowl! I am looking to add both more runner ducks and a few more geese (probably Toulouse and Embden) this year. I'm sure your knowledge of ducks and geese...

    Introducing myself

    That's quite a move from the desert to the PNW! And, I'm sure that means making some big adjustments for your potential flock. Are you thinking about Golden Comets again or some other breed(s)? Welcome to BYC, and best wishes with your coop build. Please keep us in the loop on getting you...

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

    I am trying hard to trust the weather forecast. It's already 33 here and there's even warmer weather projected for the next 10 days. Very few remnants of snow remain, so -- fingers crossed for luck -- it will be warm but NOT muddy. I've already spent too much time cleaning paws and tracked-in...

    One little oddball!

    I generally avoid giving advice when I am not absolutely certain of the right answer. However, as long as your little one is eating, drinking and relieving itself, I wouldn't be overly worried -- and I am a World Class Worrywart! BTW, I've never had a Bantam version, but I love Salmon Favs...

    My Very First 6 Chickens A Picture a Day Speaks Volumes Project 365 Thread

    This photo feels remarkably familiar. Until I banished everyone from the deck with some woven wire fencing that extends above the railing, I was regularly met by this kind of "welcoming committee."

    Eva’s Friends

    I realized this morning that I hadn't written to you this week! My apologies. I have been distracted by outdoor chores during some unseasonably warm weather, Gussie's grieving and finishing the jigsaw puzzle (thank goodness, because as I wrote previously, I can't pass the table without trying to...

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

    According to its definition, a brewmeister -- or brewmaster -- "creates and oversees the production of beer, blending science, skill, and creativity." Sounds like you may be well on your way to that title, Jim. One of the friends I met through my Jim and reenacting is coming for an overnight...
