    Quail eggs

    i built a broader box on wheels for mine. 4'x8'x2' tall. i think. split it in 1/2 so i can grown two batches at a time. Only thing i dont like about it is i hinged the whole top and it makes it to easy for them to get out when i feed and change water. I lost a small group i hatched because i...

    Wood Stove/Heater

    ^ pretty much covered it. Only thing I'll add is we used alot less like 1/2 as much wood through the winter when I sold my old insert and got a new cheapo insert with the cat. BUT the wood has to be dry dry for the stove to burn good. My old one I could thrown in some green wood in the box and...

    Gift ideas for land owner

    Honestly if he's a big farmer, and you can drive a tractor or road tractor taking a couple days off during planting or harvest would probably do more than anything you give him. Of course ask before you just show up. But a third or forth set of hands is always helpful. Even just pulling around a...

    Choosing a Dog

    yes, she has calmed down some and is easier to control. That said she is still buck wild, BUT we were warned that she was going to be like this from day one. the breeder said she was probably one of the smartest pups he had breed but also one of the craziest ones as well. The trainer is a good...

    Helene - any lessons learned, additional prep to do?

    Something alot of people don't think of I think. If you have a portable generator to have a "kit" for it. Spare spark plug wrench for it. Spare brushes (might be more complicated on the new smaller ones). We had a generator brushes ware out during a snow storm when I was younger we didn't have...

    Helene destroyed my hunting season

    The true scale of this is just starting to be seen. Have some friends that work for DOT and they've already said there is going to be communities that may not have been damaged but all homes will be condimed due to no way to rebuild roads to the homes. Some rivers have moved over 150yds in...
