    As a practitioner of TaeKwonDo for 20 years, and the wife of a TaeKwonDo academy owner, THANK YOU for your diligence in learning the distinction between Karate and TaeKwonDo. We appreciate when parents learn there is a difference in the martial arts and use the correct names for the art their child practices.

    My son used cattle panels and arched them over the chicken coup area and then covered it with chicken wire to keep out gritters and big flying critters. It works really well. We even had a possum..a BIG possum that went round and round the chicken area trying to get in and could not find a way.

  • @rethinkeverything2982
    @rethinkeverything2982 Před 2 lety

    Artemnesia is great to plant around chicken coops (it deters mites) it also doesn’t allow a lot of plants to thrive around it as well. When you trim them you can also dry the clippings and throw them into the chicken bedding and it continues to deter mites. 😘 also if you read about a little bit of chili flakes going into their feed, your yokes will become more rich in color😏❤️ they don’t taste the capsaicin

Yesterday I had a falcon land on my fence, four feet from me as I was cutting some scallions. A first for me, he/she was beautiful. I’m glad I have German Shepherds and not a smaller breed. 🌸🌺🌸

    Sorry about your loss. I can see that you struggled sharing the story and it's really sad. We tried to save little mice last year and later a sparrow baby.

They'll be well-entertained and it will be interesting to see which chicken is the most musical with the xylophone! . I have a question for you - why don't your kids wear socks with their gym shoes/leather shoes? I would think they'd be more comfortable with socks and socks would keep the shoes from getting smelly!! I'm seriously curious as I've seen people on other channels not putting socks on their kids!!

    We had 4 chickens that were killed by a turkey vulture, hawks and more then likely a mountain lion. I say that because the chicken feathers were entangled with volture and hawk feathers. We know a mountain lion was on site due to prints. We did not see any blood or bones or anything. We have 30 acres of mountainesc terrain, we though maybe they were hiding but after months obviously we know they are gone. I was so sad for awhile
