Honestly, as many years as i’ve had chickens now, i’ve never had a legit brooder box. This is partly because i’ve never timed the purchase of chicks with the weather in my area. Not a lot of planning ever went into it. I just purchased chicks when the older batch had died and i needed …

Berkey
Bud is the larger armadillo with a healed over puncture mark that lives under a rotted tree stump behind my house. Berkey is the name my mother gave to the newest younger and smaller armadillo to show up on scene. He was quite small when he first appeared and he seems to have a den …
