    You could have used them both as an excuse to not go to either ;)

    Maybe he wrote the article under a pen name. Gee @ManueB I'm really sorry about that intestinal issue you will soon be having requiring a lot of time in the bathroom until Sunday ;)

    I'm surprised you allow a cat to exist with the chickens!

    I hope you get many sales Shad! No shipping cost will make that easier. Of course if you sell a lot you'll have to get back to making lamps and sculptures. Not sure where you would get the interesting wood though.

    I don't like crumble, seems more crumbs in the bag than feed they can pick up. I feed pellets. Sure is. And yeah they sure do push it.

    Should be fine after the growing season. Chicken poo is supposedly too high in ammonia to be used directly on plants. On Shad's thread? :eek: ;) So do my alpacas. I don't know why. No cats come into the alpaca/chicken pasture but if they spot one in the field they alert to the "danger." You...

    Time to inform the gendarme Red clover is the state flower of Vermont. Apparently bees can't use it but they can use the white.

    They don't think you can see the extra toes on the Faverolles?

    Weird, I would have guessed the deer would eat the berries as well, they sure love apples. So break out the ladder! Can't let it go to waste or all to the birds :D

    Good a reason as any! I have 1 of each: Gooseberry, red currant, black currant and champagne currant. Interesting thing about gooseberries (and maybe currants???) is that they have pectin naturally so you can make jam without adding any. You can make triple berry jam if you can get...

    I didn't realize that gooseberries and currants are related. Both can carry white pine blister rust which kills white pines. They were made illegal a hundred years ago to protect the white pines but are now again legal in many states including Vermont. They are also legal in New Jersey, just go...

    Do they stay green? I have one plant and the berries turn a reddish purple.

    So if you order 9 chicks of 3 different breeds and each breed is only available from one hatchery each hatchery ships 3 chicks? I don't see how that works since the hatcheries usually have a minimum higher than that and charge $35 for small order shipping.

    I don't understand MPC. If they get chicks from the big hatcheries and sell them to the customers, doesn't that: Make them more expensive Make the chicks travel twice? Seems like they could be designed to dump their little bin into a larger one then get back to the job. The bigger one could...

    I agree with many of the words but I don't think humans can be considered invasive since I think tens of thousands of years of existence means they are native ;)

    An e-bike sure sounds good for that! Me either. I don't leave feed out other than in the winter, it is in a hanging feeder in the coop. There are always sparrows in the coop in the winter other than overnight. The stupid things lose their minds when I go into the barn and they are in the coop...
