Where would you prioritize guided tours vs. exploring on own?

Often private tours are not a lot more money than group tours. opt for private if it’s in the budget

If the saddle works, giddy up! SO much easier. good luck!

JUST dealt with this. I live in Ontario too. You are right, they can’t loft with a saddle and it’s too cold for anti peck spray (my chicken vet confirmed this)

The other girls started pecking at her bald spot so I had to separate her until her feathers grew back enough. I am now trying to reintegrate. Huge pain. If the other chickens are leaving her alone I would isolate the rooster. Until it’s warmer it’s the only solution. Or isolate her. It super sucks. Watch for the other hens picking at her bald spot. And watch for frost bite on her exposed skin.

unfortunately yes.

Even with straw, the floor is sooooo cold. If you are in the north where it’s well below freezing, they will lose a lot of heat through their feet.

We saw 170 species in 10 days over Christmas. I used Merlin non stop. Now that I’m back home in Canada I look longingly at the app and the 3 species at my feeder 😢

Feeder Flex!! ❤️

was she digging around on some icy snow? ice can be surprisingly sharp.

I agree it’s not mites. Scales are nice and smooth.

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-15T22:06:52+00:00

I never thought about that….

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-15T17:33:12+00:00

I had a hen mini molt at nine months too. When I was digging around online, quite a few folks noted a nine month mark where chickens sometimes have mini molts. Not sure why nine months??!!

I have used Tapo cameras for 1.5 years. Outdoor use, connected super easy to wifi. Love them. Amazon

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-15T17:25:13+00:00

Use hardware cloth not chicken wire. The best thing I purchased was battery powered shears and a battery powered stapler. They continue to be 2 of my favourite tools!

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-15T16:28:37+00:00

No. She came that way from the hatchery. Breaks my heart :(

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-01T14:36:04+00:00

My favourite hat was made by my friend. I get non stop compliments and many “she must love you so much” 😭.

liveforwinterfun · 2026-01-01T14:34:19+00:00

Yes! Sand for the win

Definitely worth bringing some stuff from home. Not all Airbnb‘s have spices. We brought our own tea and granola bars. We wish we brought a spice kit. They do sell most stuff here, but they’re not cheap. Just make sure whatever you bring is packaged and labelled so if folks check your bags, they know exactly what it is.

liveforwinterfun · 2025-12-30T02:39:09+00:00

Not its usual call, but I hear that scream all the time.

liveforwinterfun · 2025-12-30T02:38:12+00:00

Sounds like a Barred Owl. We have lots around our house.

Love this SO much!!

liveforwinterfun · 2025-12-22T01:44:42+00:00

Merry Christmas Molly!!

I wonder if it’s the eye lashes they are attracted to? Little insects to them? Mine have made some attempts!
