I don't live on a busy road and my chickens will cross the road if I don't watch them when I let them out of their run. I don't know what is so facinating about the other side of the road but, they have been pretty…"
Janis Ahern replied to Tabitha Farrar's discussion 'I want chickens! Am I crazy!?' in the group Backyard Chickens"Does anyone know how it works when you are on a busy road. Our house is on one side and the barn on the other. Will they "cross the road" as it were?

rachel whetzel replied to Tabitha Farrar's discussion 'New to gardening, new house, what do I plant,?'"My advice? Start small, and before you go to the trouble of planting a lot, start the winter off by getting it fertile and ready for spring. We rent, and when I put our first garden in, the soil in the area was not good soil. My garden did NOT do…"
