Re: Good Morning

Your Muppet is a very pretty cat. I tried to get a picture of the one here. It's black and white with yellow eyes. The coat is kind of medium length. It moved so the picture is blurred. I still think it is not a year old yet. It caught a partridge yesterday and ate it in the kennel. Nice mess. No wo...

Re: Birds in my garden

Wow! Maybe I should move to Ontario. All there is here are wild pigeons, a great horned owl, magpies, ravens, gray partridges, sharp-tailed grouse, snow buntings, and a few sparrows. There aren't any goldfinches here until about May.

Re: Good Morning

It has finally warmed up a bit -10 today with no wind, but cloudy with flurries forecast. The chickens are much happier. A stray cat showed up a week ago when it was below -40. It seems to be wild. It's using my old truck for shelter. I don't plan to keep it and suspect it will leave - probably a to...

Re: Good Morning

I planted some delphinium, angel trumpet, and columbine seeds last week that I saved from my plants. We're back to the deep freeze again with wind chills -40 and colder. The sun is out though. There was a blizzard the other day with winds at my place near 100 kph. Zero visibility at times. It blew a...

Re: Chicken Article of the Day

I feed my chickens some whole oats occasionally. I have noticed loose stools sometimes afterward. Some chickens will eat more of them than others. Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens says "Including whole oats as part of the summer diet minimizes heat stress and improves egg production in hot weather".
