As far as the rat business, I see suggestions to dig down a bit and enclose the run with hardware cloth all around and a couple inches down. We have mice in our area, but I haven't heard tale of rats. If we go with a larger breed of chicken, they might just take care of mice themselves, or so I hope.
For newbies, would you suggest chicks, pullets, or chickens?
We have a deaf, blind dog. How much should we worry about segregating him from the chickens?

Any input for prospective chicken owners?
I grew up with chickens ... can’t think of a dirtier animal and they attract rats.
I grew up in what used to be a big egg producing area in the 50s. The CC&Rs all heavily restricted chickens when it became a suburban neighborhood for a reason, eh?
How do you prevent the chickens from getting fly bitten?

why is this in A&E?
96583UP, any recommendations for climbing vines that would survive Canadian winters?
i had a bad experience with a yard was completely dominated by ivy
ever since then i can barely look a vine in the face
funny you mention though bc i was juuuuuuuust thinking about maybe trying to maybe consider some vines again.... if they were slow-growing..... and flowering..... but i don't think i am ready
i dont want to get hurt again
but english ivy will likely survive/ problem is, once it gets going, it just doesn't ever stop
depending on where / how / what your are trying to grow (vertical, etc)... periwinkle or creeping phlox could be an option
creeping phlox is pretty cool actually

i bought a peach tree this morning and 3 more boxwoods
We planted a peach tree this spring. Probably won't produce for a couple of years, but it completes our area of Blueberry bushes, lime tree, lemon tree, and now peach tree.

planted a bunch of crocuses today
i weed the dandelions
it leaves a hole
i fill the hole with a crocus bulb
cover it in a soil mix with grass seed
seeds the grass
removes the dandelion
crocus grows early spring before grass cutting happens
win-win-win
now let's see how many the bastard squirrels dig up
