I really wonder how people "back in the day" kept their chickens, geese, turkeys, etc. alive! Didn't they just let them roam free?! We lost all three of our geese while we were away this weekend. Considering our past reputation however, that's not too bad, being the first of our casualties. We most likely won't be staying over night anywhere as long as we have poultry, at least, not all of us anyway.
Grammy and Granddaddy are hot on the thistles again this year. Kyle, Luke and I have been out heading and cutting them down this morning, but I can't help but feel that it is a loosing battle. It takes forever; it's hot, and they're going to come back no matter what!!! Still, we're trying.

Won't be able to stay overnight anywhere??? Nooooooooo!!!
i know this probably won't help your geese, but there is a company that makes an automatic coop door. so if you leave on vacation, it will open in the morning to let them out and then close in the evening after they are in (hopefully). i've been thinking about one of these for the farm we are getting.
Sorry, Kaliste! You have quite a battle to try shooting that one down, and it's not with me! You know that I want to be over there anyway. You'll have to go directly to HQ!
We have tried to rig up our own automatic door, but apparently our door was too heavy for it and it failed. We are still thinking on that though! Also, our geese didn't really want to go in when they were out, or come out when they were in (quite a bit different from chickens in that way)!
