Yeah, I agree with that. My 3 big girls were inseparable from the day they hatched. Now their little group's dynamic is off. They look so lonely now at night when they roost.
I also agree with you about BYC. I joined in 2007 and it was way smaller and nicer - like TEG is right now. You...
:hugs I'm so sorry :hugs
I lost one of my hens last Sat. She had a seizure and died in my arms.
I know what you mean about not wanting to have chickens anymore. It's very traumatic to lose one.
:hugs
It sounds like four line bugs.
I posted a while back about them. They use their little mouth sucker to suck chlorophyl (sp?) from the plants. That leaves little depressed spots on your plant.
They are all over my plants!! Apparently sevin dust is the only way to get rid of them. So, I...
They are super easy and cheap to make.
I bought 3/4 inch electrical conduit, a pipe bender and 3/4 " connectors.

The peas and carrots were out of the ground and onto my plate in less than 30 min.!!
I love reading/seeing everyone's gardens - They all look great!
My lettuce and radishes are done. We had 2 weeks of 95 degree weather and they all bolted. Now it's back into the 70's :he But it's too late for the lettuce. I want to plant another crop in the fall.
I planted some poc...
Awwwww :love Cute!
I have almost that same planter in my run for my chickens. Mine is lighter green. They love to dig in their planters! - I have 5 now. Three big ones and 2 smaller ones. I sprinkled oats in the planters and they actually let a few sprout and grow.
I left some cabbage and broccoli stems in the garden last year, after I harvested the big heads.
I was hoping for a second smaller head, but what I got was a fly attractant! The stems collected water and started to stink - they were still alive and growing, but they were rotting at the same...
