"Great perspective! With all due respect to veterinarians, their assumption is that you are bringing them a sick pet and are ready to pay accordingly. Backyard chickens are in a league of their own though, and in many ways straddle that line between…"

Deworming urban chickens

I have a bit of a funny story - Our chickens lay pretty steadily but two of them have been kind of slow in that department since the summer. About a month ago, I found a round worm in the yard and figured that it probably wouldn't hurt to de-worm the ladies, in case that is their problem with laying. My first (hasty) thought was to call the vets' office to get de-worming meds. Did I ever get a laugh! The vet assistant insisted I have to bring my chickens in for a $60 a piece exam before the vet…See More

I'm glad you're enjoying the honey!!

Haha I don't think you took to much but we always like awesome veggies so it's hard to refuse! Seriously, your veggies are wonderful!

A potluck would be fun! We'd be up for that! We've also considered hosting one but our place isn't very big... ;). But let me know if we can do anything to help with that!

Take care and I'll contact you about veggies soon (once we finish up all we have)!

At 5:44pm on January 17, 2011, Megan Adam said…: Hello!

Since you have indicated Hastings-Sunrise as your neighbourhood location, I thought I would let you know that we are in the embryonic stages of creating a Hastings-Sunrise village and have set up a Village Group here at Village Vancouver to facilitate that process.

I am aware that there are lots of neighbourhood groups and activities already in place in Hastings Sunrise and hope that in some way a Hastings-Sunrise Village can help to provide some networking between groups rather than competing as another entity, but also can carry out activities that might be of interest to the other groups as well. Really, it's wide open as to what we do as a village entity... but we need participation to determine what that will be!

Please go over to the Groups page and go to the second page - there you will find Hastings Sunrise Village and can join up and participate in the discussion - and also feel free to post Hastings-Sunrise activities and events there for others to see.
