Been reading in the news about the continued gun laws coming into effect.About the parents of Ben(Sandy Hook victim) reading the weekly presidential address,and last night about the URI incident through the eyes of a student(supposidly) via a TAG article...
Anyone have any wing pecked chicks? Was just wondering what I need to do to deter this. I am hoping the large playpen will be enough to deter further the pecking. They pecked in the small bins at TSC.
At $1 each I figured they would be worth a try. They were golden comets and maybe red sex...

Another EE from the same hatch had...

I was reading on the Visa web site that merchants will now be able to pass on swipe fees to consumers.Would you be willing to pay that fee just to use the credit card? Not me.Time to go all cash when Discover starts up.
Visa and Mastercard are first to allow this.Some states do not permit...

For those that use the conibear traps I was wondering if you secure them.
It is enough to just put the ring from the chain on a wooden stake,or do you need to attach it to something with a lock?
I am thinking if it goes off on a foot or tail the animal will run off with the trap instead of...
Caught me a momma yesterday.I can just picture the babies on her back in a few weeks.I know I know killer to be,but it was still cool to see the babies in the pouch.Not the best pictures since I held momma down.....
