Oh, me too BB, It the only think I will feed my chickens! Pellets are the best, minimal waste.

Today the weather was perfect for getting outside projects done. We decided to work in the shop, getting some of the Christmas decor put up. When I went to my Step dads the other day, I was able to get the last of the decor my mother had, that he didn't sell. I was especially excited to see the...

Here are a few to pick through....

BB, My hubby knows me pretty darned well. I asked for a "Banty Shanty" I figures 8 x 10 would work for 4 inside pens with runs, and a walkway for feed storage, we built a 10 x 12. Then, when I asked about a new coop, I thought just a "little"bigger than the other one....it is 12 x 30!! We also...

OK, so buying enough soap supplies to make 35 gallons, I spent $30.00 This makes it about $1.10 a gallon. So $5.50 /5 gallon bucket. My 5 gallon bucket will do about 250 loads. So, cost per load.... $ $.02 If I did my math right, LOL

eli, I used to do the same thing when my kids were little. Makes for a fast, easy, hot breakfast on cold winter school days. For me.....I have canned meats. Chicken, ham, and beef. Easy to make a delish meal....and when the power goes out, no worry about losing all that meat in the freezer. We...

So this weekend is supposed to be nice, weather wise. Then come mid next week, the bottom will fall out. Snow, cold, wind.....3 four letter words I detest. So, it looks like this weekend I will be preparing for it...the coops are finally winterized....the barn is set up as efficiently as...

Lori, don't think my hubby wasn't upset, a little when I told him I wanted to keep Freedom, LOL He gets over it fast tho, when he sees how happy these critters make me. He is a good man! So today I have been busy winterizing the last chicken coop. We have these vents on the west side and east...

Good Morning J. Everything here is "hunkey dorey" LOL Winter is going to be hitting us as early as next week, so the weatherman says. We will be moving plenty firewood closer to the house..and into the garage. Planning for the "snow and colder temps" ( as per the weatherman) Hope everything is...

Here it is the 3rd of January already! Wow, if this is any indicator of how the year will go, we will be cooking turkeys before you know it. I still need to get the trees taken down...hoping to get that done this weekend. 99% of the yard decorations are put up. Hubby did that, :) I am going to...

Wow, what a productive day! So sorry you didn't get your WFB heifers. As someone who had had Pea Fowl here for a VERY SHORT time.....I can tell you...they are noisy..they CAN and WILL get on top of your house...and BIG POOPS! LOL Might want to rethink that one. Go to a farm where they have them...

Snapshot....yes, I can laugh now...now that it is over. LOL I swear, some of the things I get us in to LOL I should write a book! LOL Cheerio....IF I can get him to pull, it will be a great help. If not, we have the tractor, but I would rather use grass than gas. ;)

Dawn, I have ONE goose....he lives with the duck, mainly to keep an eye on them...and trust me, he DOES! I used to let them all free range...but the last time I did, He didn't back down from me...so, that was the last time. LOL I am thinking I will find ALL of the ducks and goose a home, I just...

Wow on the dog stealing! Luckily we have small dogs, and they are NEVER outside alone, mainly because of the hawks, and recently I found out we have "big cats" in the area. YIKES! Our coops are always locked....but the barn is not. If the time comes, I can easily lock up the barn. We DID have a...

OK, so I found a local rehab place to take the swan. The woman I talked to was sweet and assuring that I could just walk into the pen with a blanket, throw said blanket over the swans head, and it would lay right down....then just scoop it up and place it in the carrier. Hmmm, ok....sounds easy...

Windy here, and cold! 40 mph gusts. Hold on to your bloomers! We had our first snow, November 29th. The old timers here say...whatever day the first snow falls on, that is how many days it will snow for the season. Hmmm, so we will get 29 days of snow? YIKES! I know the persimmon seed had a...
