Where do you live, I live in Washington state, if a dog goes to the Humane society, costs the owner about 200 dollars to bail them out, all said and done. They give them shots, flea meds etc. then charge the owner. If the dog has no collar, or chip. It might help the owner decide to keep...

Ok, so I tried to make a ginger bug to use as a starter for ginger ale and such, well it never fermented, so I had this jar full of ginger, and sugar water, can I strain this, rinse it off and feed it to my chickens? It still smells good and there is no mold or anything like that, just a jar of...

Wow, I have not spent enough time on my place to post .... we have STUFF sitting around where it shouldn't be, and wire over flowers (thanks to my chickens) looks a little hmmm say rustic. Oh, and don't forget the cars, trucks and dogs.

Thank you all so much, I think I will have to wait and see for sure, as I am sure that being out of the pot and planted in a half sun half shade spot will change the appearence some. I will take a better photo and repost at a later date once it gets going a bit. Again Thank you for your imput...

You can't tell by the picture but the leaves on this are clean around the edges, you know they don't have the little points around them.. boy do I feel dumb, everytime I try to use words to describe something it's like whewww, and I think someone is going to understand that? It's crazy but...

Well I know it's not blackberry we have a ton of them and its not even close.. my photo was not so good maybe this one would be better, double click to make it bigger. It has no thorns and the leaves are different... here is a better photo, maybe. I don't know this looks very much like the...

Someone gave this plant to me, I am thinking it is a viburnum or a red twig dogwood. It may be something else too, I don't know. It gets very small white flowers in clusters, I don't know what color the berries will be or even if they will ever get that big but here is a pic. Thank you for...

That is strange behavior, I have only had my hens do that when they are broody and in their nesting box.

Funny, and cute, chickens are so strange.

They are getting very close!!

I have 6 BR hens, they are all sweet, not super friendly (unless I have treats) but never a problem. Years ago I had about 10 of them and they were all fine as well. As far as roosters when the kids were small my roosters ended up in the pot but now I have one with my hens, he isn't bad, but...

Will the light be a problem? I am afraid it might get cold, it's about 70 in here but I know baby chicks need it much warmer. I have it in the box and a 60 watt bulb over it. A dish of water and a lid with some wet chicken food in it. Is that all I should do?

I was afraid it was going to hurt itself jumping around like that. It doesn't seem to be eatting either, but maybe still just stressed from the kids running after it and all. Oh, and I will go find a stuffed something for it...

Ok, the neighbor kid just gave me a very little baby duck, (he said he found it all alone and could not find the mama) I tried my best to get it back to her but no go. So I have had baby chicks but never baby ducks and I am clueless... I put it in a box with newspaper and a lamp... wet chicken...

Thank you, that's what I thought. I believe he thinks they are not feeling safe enough and I suppose that could be but Im not so sure a rooster is going to help. Oh well, thanks for the info.
