I got this from Mother Earth News and thought it might be helpful to those of you with chickens.  :)"I have a special setup to keep my young chickens warm. I place a patio block inside the henhouse and top it with a small crock pot from the thrift store. I cover the pot and block with an old washtub.The young birds perch right on top of the washtub, which is warmed by the crock pot. On warm days, I simply turn off the crock pot."Carol HyzerGrayling, MichiganRead more:…See More

A group for people who want to raise a few chickens, who have chickens or other poultry, are thinking about getting some poultry, or who just plain love chickens and ducks and geese!

We will be supporting existing community and TW food security-oriented projects, organizations, and the local ag industry; assessing gaps and how to fill them; and starting a plan for dramatically increasing food security in the next 10-20 years.

Empower yourself in this “field-to-table” workshop. Learn the art and science of processing fresh masa as we transform locally-grown organic corn into an important staple food. Advice on growing good tortilla corn will also be provided. Due to limited space, registration is required for this workshop. Please call to ensure space is available, then mail the registration fee to 741 River Road, Lynden, WA, to reserve your spot. See More
