Because in the summer, they cost almost zero to feed. They eat almost 100% lawn grass, so keep the lawn perfectly trimmed. They are good at edging. Also, they are so large that once full sized, I haven't had any deaths even when I free range them. Last time I had them, I slaughtered them...

Welcome to the group. And yes! Pictures! :clap

In the big city for another shot in the eye. The shots have been helping, vision has improved. I am GLAD I do not live in the city.. but I am finally getting used to coming up here every couple of months.... and I now ENJOY the shopping and food opportunities. :ep :th I don't think...

Well then, clearly... you need to tear down the chicken coop (or turn it into a dog shelter), and build a brand new HUGE chicken coop complex! Add a greenhouse and water slide! :lol: :hide

Sounds like peak winter production to me! :lol:

I love the logo, no idea on the prices

I was thinking of doing something like that! We have a garden cart... maybe needs new wheels... and in winter I could use a sled....

Sounds like a brilliant idea.

Howdy and welcome! What country are you in? I am up in Alaska... I have been here 25ish years, and I STILL miss heat.

Not me. How bad was the leather? Just dirty? Or also some rot?

Howdy, and welcome to BYH. How old are your kids? I have 5 boys. I homeschooled them all the way up. But my kids are now all growing up. They are 26 down to 16... so only 2 at home, and only 1 still homeschooling. The other kid at home is doing his first year of college. I am 7th...

I am thinking I just need to figure out smarter ways to do things. I have 3 more years before all kids are gone... so I have time to experiment and figure out the methods that work best for me.

I was thinking the ban on slaughter houses was/ is part of the "animals are people too" and the "we must all be vegan" movements. :idunno

Heavy lifting causes too much pressure on the pelvic floor area. And... in my particular case, it will not hold up to heavy lifting. :idunno just the perfect combo of genetics and too much fun in my youth!

Wow.... really hits home that things are changing in ways I do not like. (As in... that people even think up banning meat processing)

Well... Lollypops for all! I WAS good! Doctor said it looks great, 1 more week of careful, and then all good to go! However... I have been admonished.... something about hefting 50 pound feed bags will never be a good idea for me. :idunno

Nothing wrong with moving the nest... she might except the nest in a new spot, and she might not... but a nest in a bad spot probably will not hatch any eggs anyway... So, in my opinion it is worth the risk.

Here ya go, winter photos with my flock of American Buff Geese

Depends on the thickness of the hardware cloth. Also, you can use the hardware cloth as a second layer. 1. Feel free to pick up the eggs with your hands. That is totally fine. 2. Did she make a nest? Or just randomly lay the eggs? She might be laying eggs, and not actually going...
