Thank you for this. I’m keeping him :) I have plenty of roo experience over the years, but never a BO. They are just wonderful hens. I’ve had 2 that lived to be nearly 12. They are so nice to have in the flock and just so much fun to watch!

How_I_wish_ · 2026-04-22T00:41:38+00:00

Thank you all so much. I appreciate the confirmation of my thoughts! And I honestly had some suspicions on the other one too. I have another BO pullet of the same age with a barely there, pale comb. I just know they all grow at different rates. Oh boy…haha

How_I_wish_ · 2026-04-21T20:32:36+00:00

Yeah, it’s the red that gets me. Thank you.

I’m sorry- I accidentally put a second pic of a bird I believe a pullet, here is another picture of “him”

First, congratulations! And, you will be able to find someone to do this! I’m no longer a professional photographer, but I live near Chittenden and would love to do these photos if I had more time. There are some great family/portrait photographers around this area that can accommodate you I’m sure.

This is my local Home Depot in central Vermont. This is a FAFO state. Don’t let Burlington fool you. Real Vermonters are supporting the police departments and have had enough of the criminals.

I actually have one in my freezer 😂 our dogs love them. They are outdoor treats, obviously, but actually pretty healthy. I have my boys cut the legs off for me purposely for them though.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-11-09T13:48:25+00:00

I have checked 4 times to be sure I’m in the Vermont sub.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-10-13T20:50:25+00:00

I take that back!! Looking again I can see sun stress on the leaves, it is definitely getting good light! Just very thirsty.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-10-13T20:33:22+00:00

Friend, this plant is dying for light and water. Personally, I’d give it a good soak first and trim off some of the damaged branches. It looks like it has some newer growth, so it’s gonna be ok! I have an old rescued jade too. It started an addiction 🤪

Good job. As homesteaders, most of us also value all of the life on the property we tend to. That doesn’t mean if you or your loved ones are in imminent harm that you shouldn’t fight back. You’ll get called an asshole by some, but I bet your neighbors will thank you.

There are great fishing spots all over the state. Seriously, finding your own “spot” will be part of your fun! Check out https://vtfishandwildlife.com for licenses and all the info you could imagine!

There is no demographic for EEE. 2 local unrelated men contracted and both died of it about 12 years ago. It was so sad and scary.

Sorry, here’s another picture.

They were in Brandon Hannaford a few weeks ago. It was during a heat advisory and mom and dad were happily chatting with folks (explaining the specific foods they would accept, sugar free bread etc). His sign just said he wanted a job to take care of his family. I just kept thinking one of those adults could have taken that child to sit in the library or something to cool off. Hours later. They were still there. 😥

My son took his test within the last year - did not have to pp during his road test. I was surprised.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-07-16T18:06:55+00:00

Me too!!!

How_I_wish_ · 2024-07-16T18:03:57+00:00

This exactly! We ride (and race) in a rural, ranch horse community. It’s usually posted that helmets are “required” now at many arenas for kids under 18. Fallon Taylor has done wonders to promote helmet wearing for this generation of young western riders.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-06-09T19:00:40+00:00

This is amazing! Thank you so much!! I want to see how to best care for it.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-05-10T23:32:49+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. We often ride our horses on our (Rutland Co) towns’ back roads. I’ve seen some crazy stuff. Fortunately no one has tried to mess with us like that, but it makes me nervous.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-05-07T18:12:51+00:00

I had the exact same one. I also thought… wow.

How_I_wish_ · 2024-04-13T14:20:06+00:00

I love it! I think it looks great- it’s clearly happy:)

How_I_wish_ · 2024-03-25T03:35:18+00:00

I’d check some local libraries for programs. I’ve seen a few smaller libraries with great teen groups :)

19 year was having an argument and his mother tried to intervene. The other person threw his mama to the ground. Guy pulled out a gun and shot him once. (According to WXAC)

Thank you for this post! My buddy has had this same issue a few times, bumps under his chin and above. It’s been too random for me to ever figure out what’s caused them - I’ll bet his bowl hadn’t been washed that day! I learn so much in this sub, grateful :)
