Comments on: Where’s Noah?This is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan. "Ut sementem feceris, ita metes."By: El- January 10, 2008 Jules: I swear the weather gods are very unfair. We have plenty of moisture, thanks; wish I COULD send it south! And as far as dogs chasing chickens. I've had a German shepherd and an Australian cattle dog in the years I've been a chicken rancher. THese are herding breeds, prone to keeping anything in line (including small children). So I just let them both know that these chickens are their responsibility, and not a source of recreation and amusement. If the chickens get out, though,...http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1711 By: Liz- January 10, 2008 Wow... and here I thought the duck yard looked bad! If we didn't have such a brutally cold December, this warm weather would be freaking me out a bit. Even so, I'm looking forward to cooler temps coming back.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1710 By: Meg- January 9, 2008 I hear you on the chicken legs. Our birds get themselves absolutely filthy when it's muddy out. Chickens rarely look graceful, but wet weather makes them look extra, extra bad. Yours look happy enough splashing around out there.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1705 By: jules- January 9, 2008 My Mom relates that she is living on an island now. Back yard is a pond, front is a mud hole. We could use some rain down here! Please send it our way ok I wonder how I could get my dogs trained not to chase chickens. I'd love to have some. They'd (the dogs) have such a ball..."hey Mom...Did you know these things try to runfly when you chase them" His motto, If you run, I will chase you. lolhttp://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1704 By: El- January 9, 2008 Angie: it's a goldfish washed up from the pond! That's a flat rock on the edge, demonstrating how much the danged thing flooded. I'll change the note... Farm mom: Hah, the chickens. I love goofy looking ones, though I doubt I will ever own them. Polish varieties are just hilarious, but I don't know how well they can see with all those feathers. Can they see enough to run from a hawk Nada: I'm telling you, things are really crazy all over. My azalea bloomed twice last year, too. I...http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1703 By: Angie M- January 9, 2008 Help. I can't tell what the casualty is in the last picture. It looks like a pond with a piece of wood and a candy wrapper in it. I'm sure there is something there because of the caption - but can you point it out for me Thanks!http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1702 By: farm mom- January 9, 2008 Don't ever get the featherfooted variety. They look bad enough when it's dry and high summer. In our mucky springs they just look soggy, disgustingly dirty and, well......pissed off. As if you're responsible or something!! :)http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1701 By: Nada- January 9, 2008 Hmmm....wacky weather all round. I've got hellebores that are repeat flowering in summer. Some cooler weather and that seems to send them the message to look pretty again. Weird.http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2008/01/09/wheres-noah/#comment-1700 |
