    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    Never insulted anybody. I'm not sure why what I said has you so upset. Also wow to "I'm not the one cowering in my home, scared to death to go out in public.", lol. I can tell, she must be lots of people's friends, due to the angry irrational mob ensuing lol. Also they were the one that...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    I never said you did, I was simply providing examples to show how what you said wouldn't be a good idea, that was all. Apparently not so simple though.

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    I would argue that perhaps you are confused. I never accused anybody of anything, calm down. I was simply using that as an example of why what they said isn't accurate, strawmanning isn't a good tactic. "No one is endangering anyone's life by not wearing a mask and no one is saving anyone's life...

    Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

    pardon?? That's terrible. That idea is endangering people's lives. Maybe you're younger and relatively healthy, but think about the people you come across. Maybe you go out without a mask, you cross paths with an off duty nurse and give her covid, then she gives it to her patients unknowingly...

    Official BYH Poll: What Are Your Plans for 2021?

    Well this past year has been exciting as we've gotten livestock (other than chickens) again since a few year break. So my plans will be doing lots of reading and researching, as I've already been of course. I got some books for Christmas I plan on getting my nose into those. I got Storey's Guide...

    Where did you learn to be a farmer?

    My dad actually. He's never been a farmer, but we moved out to the country and he enjoys reading. One of the books he read most was "Barnyard in Your Backyard: A Beginner's Guide to Raising Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, and Cattle". He built our chicken coop and barn. Now it's...

    Too early to kid?

    Thanks so much!! I was actually wondering if there was some sort of medicine for that but was afraid to even ask as it seemed.. well, risky to ask. Thanks for the help! I don't think I'm going to go that route, a year seems like she should be okay.. I guess we'll see. Nope she isn't far along at...

    Haha thank you!! And that's really relieving to hear :) I'm sure we've all seen our fair share of jumping to conclusions and judgement on other places, I was happy to join here and the sister site for chickens as it did seem much more positive

    howdy

    Thank you so much!! Me too, but it is what it is. Truth be told she had a real bad temperament and wasn't even the color I was looking for to start my flock so I was planning on selling her anyways, so not a huge loss. I figure she probably ended up on somebody else's sheep farm as there's...

    Too early to kid?

    Thanks so much!! I guess this post may have given the false impression I'm new to this, but I've had a small farm over a decade.. just haven't dealt with this before. Also kind of took a maybe 4 year break from livestock so just getting back into it :) Don't worry I've been planning to whether...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Good morning! Had two cups earlier, I know it's un-american but I mixed cocoa powder in with the coffee grounds to make a mocha of sorts. Was pretty good actually :) Hope you all have a good day

    Too early to kid?

    Truly appreciate it! Yeah I get scared of the judgement honestly, but obviously I want the best for my animals. Don't intend anything else. For what it's worth, they've been together since they were babies, breeder I got them off of had them together with all the kids from the year, and bought...
