    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Coming in late but happy Easter to everyone! We had some major flooding in our backyard last week, which did leak a little into our basement but not too bad. We've always had drainage issues in the backyard. I should have gotten ducks. Also, our power was out for about 24 hours. I think that...

    Brooder in Garage with Mama Heating Pad for Spring Chicks SE PA

    Good idea! That sounds easier. We only have a small brooder right now but maybe this is something I would consider building in the future.

    Brooder in Garage with Mama Heating Pad for Spring Chicks SE PA

    We've always brooded our chicks on our enclosed outdoor patio (same temp. as outdoors), even when the spring/fall weather was a bit winter-like with freezing temps and they did great. We used a lamp but I think as long as they have an adequate heat source and are away from the wind and...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Oh I'm sure she does! She always wanted to be the leader of our flock but was always thwarted by our (now deceased) Barred Rock named Big Rhonda. Even though she's not brooding as much as she was here, I'm at least glad she's living out her dream of being the head hen haha.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I can't believe it! She was constantly broody over here. But I'm glad she still does her trick, and that you have some other broodies.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Yes! I was feeding my baby in her room and I heard a big boom. I thought a big branch fell of the oak tree and onto our house because it was so loud. I went out and checked and didn't see anything. Later I learned what it really was! It's crazy that it was so loud I thought something hit the house.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    That's so nice of you! I'll keep that in mind after we have the work done. I'm sorry I won't be able to get you your broiler! I think we'll be doing a batch in the fall though. Good luck with your hatch! Is Ursula broody yet?

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    There hasn't been much activity on this thread lately. I hope my fellow Ohioans are doing well! Idk about you guys but my hens have really picked up their laying! Out of 7 hens, 6 had already laid eggs today and I thought I saw the 7th in the box before I left. I am bummed but we can't get...

    That's good to know about the reading! We do read to our baby daily and she seems to love it. She loves books with textures she can feel and ones that have repeated lines or animals. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and What Do You Say Little Blue Truck have been favorites lately.

    What about butchering extra roosters for others?

    Idk how I missed this thread. I think it's a great idea if you figure out the logistics! Pardon me if someone already mentioned this, but the only thing that comes to mind as someone from a city with a rooster ban is that we have to get rid of cockerels/roosters BEFORE they crow so no one...

    Source for flaked (not chunked) oyster shell

    Hmm, that's not true in my experience. Purina's is made of oyster shell. DuMor oyster shell ingredients are oyster shell and calcium carbonate. Those are the most popular brands I see at Tractor Supply. Maybe it's different where you live though.

    Small Pet Select brand is my favorite.

    Meyer Hatchery Pioneer Broilers

    Good info! Thank you. I think I'll stick to the chill vibes of the Cornish X, after hearing that the Pioneers can be so cannibalistic and flighty lol.

    I did not. I don't know enough about them so I'll probably just get some CX in the spring.

    So true! And thanks for saying that. I think sometimes Russian people (the ones I know at least) assume people will associate them with the politics of their home country. Many people do that. But everyone is their own person, separate from their government.

    Yes, the cathedrals are beautiful. St. Basil's Cathedral is the most well-known (most people have seen a photo of it) and I was lucky enough to go inside. I was surprised to see that the inside was even more beautiful than the outside. So much gold and just incredible architecture.

    Very cool! Russian culture is very interesting. I've been to Russia and really enjoyed it. Political leaders aside, Russian people are very kind and welcoming. The food was excellent as well. I say go for it with the Finnish grandparent names! Anything you can do to preserve culture is great...

    Thinking about switching from a manual coop door to an automatic one – what should I watch out for?

    We have the Run Chicken. It's been reliable in our Midwest winters, has a safety sensor, and works with an app. We just change the batteries once a year.
