Quote: P.S. Is he actually playing with the ducky toy? Too cute!!

I'm so glad I found this post! I love the swimming pool set up and everyone's guidance! Saturday was our area's big chicken/small animal event and we couldn't resist picking up two mallard ducklings. Chickens are loads of fun to watch, but I have to admit - ducklings are a-whole-nother...

Thanks all for the kind words! I think the worst part has been the guilt and the visual - still can't seem to kick it. I have a phobia over parasites, so this sort of sent me over the edge. My skin wont stop crawling! While slightly morbid, I agree about using the chicken as bait to take out...

I've raised chickens now for a couple years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Aside from the occasional squirrely toenails, foot caught in something, beat up roo comb, we really haven't had any emergencies. That all changed two Monday's ago, and yesterday I earned myself the MOST HORRIBLE...

The causes of injury aren't related, but here's what we've been dealing with... We had a bear attack our chickens two Monday's ago, and our dog stopped the bears (momma and her cub) just before they killed the rooster. His feathers had been ripped out on most of his back (about the size of the...

I would just like to say how absolutely thrilled I am that I get my eggs from my backyard! Finally - that's one recall I don't have to worry about...about time we catch a break!! Take that Murphy!!

My neighbor is a female and her name is Michael. Her husband is Aaron... the first time I met them I kept trying to reverse the names and use Aaron as Erin. On a related note to the thread... this is getting so completely out of control and out of hand. I want to scream with frustration...

I'm not diabetic, but feel myself going into insulin shock just reading the suggestions! Personally, I do have blood sugar issues (not diabetic...but if I'm not careful, it's in my genes...) and while I know I'm supposed to eat breakfast, I find that I'd rather skip the bowls of cereal or...

Definitely a mental illness; however... me being me... I'd call her and tell her that I want to go to the next doctor's appointment. Hmm.... can't family call the authorities to have them bring in a specialist that will authorize sending the person who needs help to a mental hospital? Keep us...

Perhaps that Craigslist poster could have specifically requested a hunting breed dog... God knows our neighbors down the street must have 50 of them the way they all bark and howl come feeding time. You can hear them over a mile away!

...or you know it's cold outside when you try to let go of the metal watering can and notice that the top layer of your fingertips skin tore off in the process... That happened to me last night!

Me thinks you're right about the Craigslist Poster having a rotten neighbor! Edited to add... I wonder if she's consider a peacock? I recall those being quite loud!

Quote: Made me think back to seeing that hysterical movie "Zombieland" And the gag-gift book & machete combo my DH got as part of our "Random Christmas Gift Exchange" that our extended family did... Oh and you can't forget about that article in the news a few months back about someone...

Quote: Any updates? You know, initially when I was reading all of this, the first thing my mind screamed was HR!! HR!!! That is unless this company is much smaller and HR is practically non-existant. Still, I'd go to the US Dept of Labor for guidance. Hopefully by the time you get an...

Quote: Usually I'm in the same boat, but perhaps the second cup of coffee did the trick this morning!

Shoot, we have one of those posters hanging in our kitchen at work... I checked and here was the info I found - In Virginia, I would contact the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission at 804-367-8600. The US Department of Labor might also be able to help - especially OSHA.... 800-321-OSHA...

Is this literally a new house? If so, in our experience we were always able to go back to the builder for issues like these for the first year. As for the pipes freezing, I've always heard that it helps to leave the water on just a tiny bit - maybe just a drip? As that supposedly helps to...

Quote: Gee... that's pretty much what I feed my Sara (GSD). I think hers is called Purina One Healthy Morsels or something like that. Edited to add.... oh yes, and a smidge of human food. Last night she had Kibble a la pancake leftovers.
