Turkeys seem to do well on ladder type roosts that start 12-18″ off the floor and go up in the same spacing. Depends if you have midget whites or standards. I love starting them on a low board as a practice roost. What a great idea.

It is the beginning of Feb in Ohio and Rural king had 3 poults for $2 each because they were almost 2 weeks old and they needed sold for room for new arrivals. I have never had turkeys. W I didn’t bring them home, but would this have been a stupid idea. They would have brooded in the garage.

I grew up on cider fried rabbit with onions. Oh my it was good like you can’t get anywhere else. I hope your trio has been productive!

I made a firewood carrier by laying 2 out flat and folding in the long edges to a width of about 20″, and angle fold the ends to taper for where the handles will attach. I took another bag and cut it in strips 5-6″ wide, folded those in half and braided them into handles and sewed across the ends to hold the braids still. It came out well. A household sewing machine can handle 4 layers of you go slow.

Sturdy,lightweight, dries easily. Just don’t sit it near the wood stove. Just an intuitive thought.

I also store my yet-to-be-ground, and then-ground biochar in them.

Mine dies back to the ground every year and grows back in spring. I never cut it back, but it’s out of the way

I dug into this over the weekend and found an explanation that the color change was from a difference in variety of apples Bragg’s is using based on the season. This didn’t make very much sense to me considering apples have a season in general. Most varieties are both available and unavailable at the same time frames.

That is ingenious and makes so much sense.Thank you. It will make its garden debut at my house next Spring….or sooner in the basement garden.

I can give an amen to that. The gate is narrow and the way is not always an easy one. (Is it simple, yes. Is it easy, no) God even tells us that in this life, we shall be persecuted for our faith.

But if you get out the profit/loss, win/lose, plus/minus charts, what God has done for mankind and what Christ has done, so that we might be with Him, and for the small cost of belief and telling others why God matters. God wins. Every time.

John 4:4 dust it off and look it up.

Peace and carrots.

Unless they are sprayed with a sprouting inhibitor, which some grocery items are, to extend their shelf life, why not give it a go?

The worst thing that can happen is they rot in the ground and enrich the soil. The best thing is it provides some food! Good luck, and I hope this worked for you.

(continued) She kindled one week after I got her. She has been the best mama. Only 3 kits. The kicker is this last weekend it was down to 10 degrees. The nest box has a wire bottom lined with cardboard, brown Amazon packing paper, straw and mama fur. The sides are wood, with a mamaescape resting pad on the top. I have been using hand and toe warmers (air activated) that last for 8 hours behind a later of cardboard so they don’t get chewed on, tucked into the sides of the nest box. Everyone is still alive, I have a seed starting heat mat under the nest box and more cardboard and straw packed around the nest box as well.

Hi Ken,

I am new to SF, and I feel like a 5 year old with constant stream of questions. I have had rabbits before, but it’s different this time. Last time I had a standard rex doe who was demon possessed. Growling, biting,lunging with claws, cage defensive, the whole 9 yards.

So these silver fox are AMAZING. They came from a less than ideal situation, buck and doe housed together. She had lost 2-3 litters because no nest box was provided and they died on the wire. She had pulled fur and tried very hard, but the then-owner wasn’t knowledgeable and/or attentive, and they got to be a hassle. He got them last fall. No tattoos or papers, from KY. For all I know, they may be siblings.

I separated them ion arrival. I was told she had kits two weeks prior. She

Do you have any issues with RHV (I believe is the acronym) with tractoring buns vs. keeping them in hutches? I am looking to possibly tractor mine this warm season. I would definitely appreciate a dose of wisdom. New rabbiter here, and I feel like a 5 year old with all my questions 🤣

[Squashmania]

Sounds like we have the same gloves. I agree.

[Squashmania]

Looks like broad breasted bronze, would be my first guess.

Thank you for the chart ! It really makes events and sects very clear.

I joined FS to find my local tribe. Online tribe is awesome, but I am willing to help and sometimes I NEED help. Winching trees out of my valley for firewood so they don’t foul my pond outlet. My husband doesn’t help often. He likes to look at our property, but isn’t big on mgmt. So I do most of the workf or the animals and the garden and the yard and the pond, and work full time with on call. I am seriously looking for tribe.
