Half the party needs to be girls? What a strange rule. I guess it's an attempt to protect people's safety, but still.

Or perhaps your comment is a joke to imply that you wouldn't want to live next to a shipping container. It's going to be fenced in anyway and not very visible

I don't know. Any other identifying info?

Lmao yesss. Chicken Limo

Do you think that mine are laying so much just because they first started and aren't sure what to expect / haven't been acclimated to the changing seasons? They experienced summer, but were too young to lay

Thank you! It was just an idea I was floating. Some other people suggested and old bus or camper instead

What are toy doing with the eggs? Freezing them for winter? Mine just started laying this month and I wasn't expecting much until spring but I'm getting eggs daily with only 5 hens in January!

Yeah i thought the space by the garage was a little more level than it actually is, but still better than most of the yard. It's not steep but the whole acre is a slight hill

We feed them kitchen scraps before they become compost (in addition to laying feed and oyster shell and grit and soldier fly larva) and the compost mound in the back gets supplemented with their soiled bedding

I've already spent over a grand this year on them and am extremely happy with that investment. My eggs are by far the yummiest eggs I've ever tasted and I love just hanging out in the yard with them and watching them. We feed the wild birds too and the chickens are always running under the bird feeders to get extras

That's a great idea! Thanks

That's a great idea about a bus! Thanks

Just over an acre and currently have 5 hens with 1 rooster. I'd like to add more hens - possibly double - to prevent over breeding from the rooster. I also wanted to get a flock of ducks and have a home large enough for cohabitation with the ducks on the floor on one side and the chickens roosted up on the other side

I got 6 last spring. 5 hens and a rooster now I'm a bit worried about over breeding with only 5 hens so I was planning on doubling up and also wanted to get a flock of ducks and have something large enough for them to share space with the ducks on the floor in a cozy spot and the chickens roosting on the other side

Yeah for sure. I'm in milton and the area is fenced in with a solid wood fence so it wouldn't be very noticeable. Neighbors house is for sale for a year with no bites and the other side neighbor is remodeling the house to make it apartments possibly for farmers but not sure on that

Well I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone knew any more reliable details because when I look online it seems like I could get a container for around 1,700 but of course other sites say they are know 15,000 so the range is huge. A nice shed at home depot is like 3,500 but you still need to assemble and floor it. I would prefer a nice coop but honestly want what's going to be the cheapest and easiest because they already have an enclosed coop in run that I fortified really well so it's not coming out of there. Whatever I get I will have to build a chicken tunnel to connect them

I can't remember exactly, but it was right in the center of the drink display on the back wall

I saw a product at trader Joe's yesterday (a beverage) and it said 4 grams added sugar but none of the ingredients listed could have accounted for it.

I heard a transformer blew up by Stowe

Yes. Yes it does. It's so much more expensive though and Petra Cliffs is on Groupon which brings the cost down even more.

Alright who wants to go to the climbing gym Petra Cliffs Tuesday or Wednesday?

I don't believe you'll be able to find a home under 250k and it will still need a lot of work. I recently bought a pretty basic house for 375 and already (4 months) needed to out 75k in (new roof, windows, doors, oil tank removal and propane installation) We each earn about 60k and have no kids. Our mortgage is 2,500 and other bills total about the same amount so our break even requirement for living (for us with our lifestyle and animals) is about 5k a month

Well I think the idea would have to be that they couldn't just house homeless people who aren't working. What if people moved to an affordable part of Stowe and then worked for the city in a system where the city basically benefits from having the people there. If they can work to improve the area and live for a reduced cost of living then they would be able to afford a vehicle and wound not need to rely on public transportation. Or create a system of public transportation and have some of the people who move in to the area be the people who drive and fix the machines. As someone who recently bought a house in Milton and who works in Stowe I have to say that my 1 hour each way drive is one of the quickest commutes of us at my company. I have people driving an hour and a half each way to come work in Stowe and afford to live so far away. Why would business close if more people moved there? My business gross sales today were $200 in stowe and rent cost $500 a day. I have to lay more people off in the morning (which is why I'm not sleeping right now)

What about all of the lovely "seasonal homes" along the lake in Malletts Bay in Colchester? Most of them are vacant for 10 months of the year. What if you want to buy one and live in it all year round? You literally have to pay MORE money for the opportunity to occupy the same exact space when you buy the house because the houses are on "leased land" where the land owner charges a higher rate every year to rent the land that your owned house sits upon meanwhile for the majority of homes they're vacation homes that sit empty. Why have to pay more just to occupy a space that couldn't otherwise be occupied if you weren't there? If anything those who pay less benefit from those who stay year round because they keep an eye on the property and prevent squatters from moving in. Seriously there are a ton of emokty empty houses and unattainable houses because many are in disrepair and still expensive. Furthermore there is plenty of land where people shouldn't have to be forced to live on top of each other for an attainable cost but it isn't profitable for investors to develop that way which is why the look and feel of the towns are being destroyed anyway with ugly and unaffordable condo apartments where you can't even buy an RV if you wanted to.

I'm not understanding why this is getting down voted
