Chicks are 5 & 8 weeks. They've been eating an organic mash, plus the occasional wet treat which is oats, collard greens, blueberries, and molasses mixed together, and some dandelions and seedy grass from the yard. They love all of this. All are healthy and growing fast. They've never refused...
Disney elevated hand-drawn animation to a true art form. I've seen one of the original prints of Sleeping Beauty (1959). It is extraordinary. They created a 3D effect in 2D animation by aiming a camera down through multiple layers of painted glass. They pioneered so much.
I'm just going to say...
That's stop-motion animation. It's a series of individually photographed frames of posable figurines (sort of like action figures) that are physically changed in small increments so it appears they are moving when the frames are played back.
There were several popular stop-motion animation...
Anyone else wear these Ficcares in the nineties? I think Jennifer Aniston popularized them on Friends.
They were perfect for French twists. It was the fastest and easiest way to put my hair up for work.
It was 91F inside the brooder at the hottest point today. Some of the chickens were panting earlier but everyone is very active and alert (go stand on the ice, you silly creatures)!
Everyone seems happy, no one is cranky and pecking at others. Only a few still have tiny bits of chick fluff...
Yes. Chickens can live anywhere you put them. It's the structure itself that is the issue, not what's inside it.
The structure has to be approved as historically "matching" the era and design of the homes. Greenhouses haven't changed since the 1950s so there isn't much about them to "match."...
The desert sucks up water so we don't have mud for long. We've thought about water issues since we get big downpours. The coop is going in a higher part of the yard that drains well.
The back portion of the greenhouses will be covered on the top and sides. The back wall is wood. Food and water...
Good question. Greenhouses don't have the strict requirements of other structures so we're looking at two connected greenhouses of 80-100 sq ft each, instead of a single 200 sq ft chicken coop.
Thanks for the link!
My guess is momma was nearby even though you didn't see her. Black bears remain with their mothers for 16 months.
They have a home range of 15 to 77 square miles (males have a larger range than females). They never forget where they've found food, so if one (or more) has gotten food from your...
Tom Baker was my first Doctor! I watched Doctor Who with my mom when I was a kid, as well as Monty Python and Cosmos. My parents were big PBS supporters in the 70s and 80s. My mom passed away several years ago. Great memories. 💕
Looking for suggestions of greenhouse models.
We want the frame, not the cover. We'd discard the cover and replace it with 1/2" hardware cloth and a tarp over half of that. One end would be 15/32" plywood with a vent for airflow and the other would have a 30"x80" steel door (overkill but that's...
Peter Capaldi in Crown Court (1984). You might know him from The Thick of It or Doctor Who.
I'm not trying to play guess-the-celebrity or anything, they're just random photos I find interesting/amusing. I'm old so my cultural references reach back pretty far. :D
