Guest guest Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi, From Bee's website, I ended up into some info on small animal breeding. It was very interesting on ducks especially. They love to eat slugs, flies and other insects. some breeds do not need a pond, and the eggs are good too. I lived at some apartments by a lake for a few years, I saw many of those types of ducks and geese. Of course, we could not get their eggs, or kill them for food. Pigs will condition, and plow your fields for planting. They eat grass, roots, and the dirt itself. I may need to do more dry skin brushing, and epsom salt bathes. I do about 3 times a week, but I think that is all bee recomeends. C. > > hi > > I grow carrots and a lot of other veg in dustbins LOL, That sounds weird doesnt it, but its not, I have simply made enormous plant pots out of them. This way the carrots and some o the other vegetables are smaller, so you loose that way, but being in pots much less problems with slugs and so on. Also it is easier to see when they are poking out of the ground. I just cover them with a little more soil when they are poking out o the ground. the slugs will not eat them when they cannot see them > The post that posted re Dr Mercola is still ringing in my ears, there are times when I just get sick to death with all this nonsense.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 >>Our town recently okayed that we could have chickens but we have too many neighbors cats that live outside. If you're happy with your egg source and don't want to be tied down with the responsibility of daily tending, then good for you. But if you really want to have chickens, don't let a few neighborhood cats discourage you. A secure house and little fenced yard is all that's necessary to protect them. Seriously, where I live kitty cats are the least of what my hens need to worry about. We have coyotes, foxes, hawks, owls, raccoons, opossums, bobcats and a cougar, any of which will snack on an unguarded chicken given the chance. My layers have a nice house and wire-enclosed yard, but I like to let them out in a larger area. The farmcollies do a pretty good job of protecting them, but I do lose one now and then.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well maybe when my contractor is working on our sun room remodel I will see if he can build us something in our yard. How many chickens do you have? Would three chickens be enough? We have racoons and I think I saw a coyote on our street once. I think we have owls but I have not seen one. We live 25 miles south of San Francisco. I had a owl when I lived in San Francisco which I thought I would have them here but maybe since there is a big park nearby that people can not drive in perhaps they all live in the park.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi Where did you get your brush for dry brushing? I have been wanting to try it. We have a pool but I dont think I would like duck poo in the pool and for some reason I wont eat duck or lamb something from my childhood I guess. I had heard that chickens are great for eating bugs in your garden but not to let them around newly growing plants as they like to eat them too.
