Well, we want to plant some vining plants around it so that it will provide more shade. Problem is, we need to figure something that will vine, but won't harm the chickens! We do have a LOT of honeysuckle on the back fence, and I was thinking of letting that grow on the sides. Good idea or bad idea?

Noooooooo!!!! I was just starting to fit in!! I guess I'll hang up my garden hat.... I don't like okra either.... ;) (Tho I do LOOOOOVE me some scuppernog wine!!! :D)

Well, we are Looking at building a very simple enclosure. Basically it's a roof, some beams to hold the roof up, and the sides covered by lattice. We got the idea from the Storeys book about rabbits. I was thinking that maybe we could get some canvas or tarps and if the weather was going to get...

Lol! We had a discussion on my local board about broodies and one of the ladies said it was fine to let chickens hatch ducks, but never the other way around.... Lol

Marshall :lol: too funny! Hoody, they are 6 weeks right now, so I'm hoping there will be lots of time to get them used to being handled before breeding time comes. :) If I'm understanding her correctly she handles them regularly. She says she spoils them with cherries and apples and carrots...

I will be sure to keep everyone posted! :-)

I sure hope so Ridgerunner! We're going to order some dark cornish to get some bigger carcasses. Hopefully we will be able to get them April 1st. We're ordering them early February. :-)

So, it's happening! We're getting 2 pairs of meat rabbits on the 1st! One of the ladies in my local barnyard fb group is moving so she's getting rid of all her buns. We're getting a pair of Californian so and a pair of New Zelands for $8 each! They're currently 6 weeks old. We've got a while...

Haha! You guys. :P They will be mostly Pekin I believe, or Pekin Khaki cross. A friend did give us 4 mallard cross eggs as well. The chickens will be mutts, unless some of the Buckeyes snuck some eggs in there without us knowing they're laying! Lol we only have Buckeye roos. Hatch day is around...

You COULD always plant some more baymule... ;)

Haha! Wel... I'm pretty sure that all of these would be meat birds... but you never know :-P

If this were facebook I would like this... LOL This will probably be how we work it too. :lol:

Woohooo!!!!! We have an "expert" in our group (she's not REALLY an expert, but the most experienced of the group... LOL) and SHE said that you TOTALLY can incubate them together and gave me instructions on how to do it! YAY!!!! So in about a month... I should have some baby duck and chick...

nothing really... my neighbor wants me to incubate some eggs for her too... I would hate to drop them all in the bator and none of them hatch! LOL

That's what I thought too... how can there be such a huge difference in how they hatch them in the wild?! LOL

So, my friend gave us a styrofoam still air incubator because she got a new one. :weee So... I was talking on my barnyard group how I had the idea of putting duck eggs in the bator, and then 7 days later pop in some chicken eggs. I was told that you couldn't do that because the humidity had to...

Sorry guys! I've been super busy with the ducks and chickens, working in the garden, getting ready to go on vacation to visit my momma for Christmas, preparing for Monks 14th birthday (on the 31st), getting ready for Christmas... GAH! I'll be off and on (but mostly off) until after the first...

:lau And here I thought I was a decent speller. I guess I never thought that they were spelled differently! *gets out dunce cap*

I don't know much about the area, as I've only been there a couple of times. I DO know that you can rent a temp controlled storage building for your wine tho.... LOL Wouldn't that be glorious to own so much wine that you need to rent a storage building?? LOL It does do some strange things...
