I hope our ten year will be special but it looks like we might have to try on the next decade too. And looking at your experience, it's hard to gauge when life will align right for a proper celebration. We didn't even get a real wedding, had to elope! I've always craved a real celebration, but...

Also cooo-rAW is a prettier noise than ACKAROOooOOo. Do the hens provide anything? Eggs?

Peacocks are the coolest farm addition. I had no idea they provided protection either, but it makes sense since they're basically a giant rooster. How well do they interact with the rabbits?

I guess my post never went through. Sorry for the extremely late reply! Yes you hit the nail on the head. The helicopter parenting has crippled kids, neither will I participate in the opposite - which was my parents' method - hands-off authoritarian. They seemingly expected us to be emotionally...

So happy to have you here! The stay-at-homestead mom phenomenon is growing and we love to see it! We're super new too and also started with chickens and buns, do you keep them together? I've been thinking of adopting my fourth since they've been bugging me for another sibling! 😩 I'm done having...

Two matured love birds Stronger hearts every day Sorrows pass, joy grows A haiku to celebrate you both ✨️ big congratulations! Our ten year is coming up this Nov and this post moved me. Thanks for sticking your neck out and sharing your excitement with us!

Hi all! I've seen some good posts here about gardening theory and thought I'd ask yall. I'm looking for a forum or resource which focuses on regenerative gardening for beginners. I follow Andrew Millison for basics and primers, will probably purchase a course. But wanted to check for other's...

It's OK to not like people, it's even respectable! Thanks for your input. We could all use practice in disagreeing and standing up for our beliefs amicably. Thanks for helping me learn too. I'll take the responsibility here too, people are just reacting understandably.

Same. It was me who started it and I'm the one who takes responsibility. Your post was necessary pushback, eloquently written! I still would love to hear your philosophy part of the discussion but it needs it's own post. Sorry OP

Opinion noted, sorry to disturb you.

I wish I could source a good organic hay! I will be trying to find that locally but I worry about what it all includes. Have you found that they self select and ignore any toxic plants? I currently do a Timothy hay which comes from untreated fields and sometimes has other things in it (I got...

I can tell you don't like me. But that's a mid reason to be throwing around old myths without sources, on an obviously not researched subject which you couldn't care less about. It is a dangerous misconception which harms women and children, the myth that men retain full fertility into old age...

Is this a common experience? Is it gamey? I do a high fat diet and was wondering about fattening up before dispatch

Good luck to you and your mom ♥ it's a difficult time especially to be so far from your home environment, not have a solid end date, and to be the main caretaker. Keep us updated and reach out if you need an ear! I've been following this hospice nurse since last year and she's been such an angel...

I believe this is important for you and a valid conclusion. Thank you for sharing. I won't question it. But I also have experience with lack of ultrasounds saving my birth/babies life (actual experience not just what I've posted here but a real conclusion that if I would've had an ultrasound...

True. This was the difference between my doe's first and second litters. The first was sired by an older buck (he was greying) and it took 4 months, this newest litter was sired by a young buck and it took immediately. It could've been the doe's newfound comfortability after 4mo that made the...

This was almost my exact experience with my previously unproven doe. I really thought she should've been pregnant, and I was palpitating! Made a nest multiple times and everything. Every meeting with the buck, she very very grumpy, grumble, but also mounted him. It should've worked. But nothing...

I bet it's pellets! It's not too hard to envision veterinarian-recommended diets would benefit veterinarians.

Since I can't update or delete my previous post on this thread I want to include the update here: Thank you Alaska Satin for detailing that injuries can happen in cages and can affect the legs! Had no idea and shouldn't have even been inputting my opinion. I revoke my previous comment and...

I've seen that the batteries are only guaranteed for a year and wondered about that. Were there any repercussions when it broke? I thought there would be a door which the chickens could learn to open themselves without all the mechanics and electronics involved, but it looks like that hasn't...
