Two in Mexico and one in Texas. Despite what some think, we are not in Mexico.

You can get them in some grocery stores.

Interesting that you have Caracas where you are. I didn’t realize they had traveled that far North. We are NW of Victoria and they are common. That being said, our biggest aerial threat to our flock is chicken hawks.

Hi Charles, We have cream leghorns in 9a South Texas. They seem fine with our Winter and Summer. They are 3 years old now. Laying has slowed, but they still make 3 or 4 eggs each per week. Large and good foragers.

The Russian military is similar. That’s why they (we) knocked off their generals who were in Ukraine.

Joe Fox mentioned China’s military in his patreon talk this morning. He made the observation that the Chinese military has no actual combat experience and would be at a disadvantage. Think about that. An army needs experienced NCOs, officers etc. when he balloon goes up. He thinks they will send a couple of divisions to Ukraine for experience.

I had not seen that one. Thank You!

A lot of herbicides have strong warnings on their labels saying to keep them away from bodies of water. If the public water supplies were contaminated that would kill the crops irrigated with it. I’d think it would be more difficult to poison ground water, but wouldn’t put anything past them.

Glyphosates stay in the soil for several years. If the dead plants are left in place then their decay just flushes what they contain back into the soil.
One spraying might damage a plot for 3, 4 or more years.

It wasn’t me, but I do drink coffee and would love seed. I’ll trade you for it. Let me get a list of starts together and we’ll see what you want. I’ll send a pm request. AD

I want to make one of these also. If the outside is not impervious to water, it should have some kind of cover to keep rain from damaging it. I know you get a bunch of that!

Layer feed here is usually 16%. I have guineas, they need more like 20 to 21%.

I’ve found that if I give a friend eggs they will gift me more cartons than I can use, hoping to get more eggs.

My ancestors were mostly all in Texas during that war. The union was mostly stopped at the border, so not much happened here. Texas was the last state to enter the Confederacy and the last to allow the union to occupy it. General Lee actually spent a lot of his career in Texas and loved Texas and Texans. He relied on the 1st and 4th Texas divisions heavily in the Army of Northern Virginia. One of his most famous quotes is “the enemy never sees the backs of my Texans”
It was during reconstruction that it all went downhill.

We eat black eye peas and some kind of green every New Year’s eve for good luck in the coming year. It’s a Southern thing. When Sherman was rampaging through Georgia killing the livestock and burning the crops with the intent of starving Georgia into submission, his soldiers knew that cow peas (consider the name) were animal fodder, so they didn’t burn them. That’s what the locals survived on along with mostly foraged greens until a wider diet was available.
