Thank you Fred for the quiz. I appreciate the time you spent in getting this together and the patience to put up with us newbies. I love the humor and family atmosphere of this forum. Lisa :)

Al, I am a newbie but have been reading for a while. My DH and I have been married 30 years. When we got married, an older gentleman gave my husband a cast iron skillet with directions: Place by the bedside and hit her on the fanny every morning. She will learn to get up and fix your...

Oh goodness! I can still hear the sound that belt made when he would take it off. Lisa :)

Thanks for the story! My son was in the first grade when the school system decided to ban corporal punishment. That was the last year my son was in public school. I homeschooled both of my children. I, too, was raised in that era where if you were paddled at school you were going to catch...

We are finally getting much needed rain. I am ready for your stories!!! Lisa :)

Wow, the things I learn on this site! I was trying to figure out what BMO was and figure it had something to do with body odor!! Thank you to all OTs for putting up with us Newbies! Lisa :)

Thank you Delisha! Lisa :)

Lisa, you make me laugh!! If it comes wizzing back at me, I am going for my 12 gauge!! From what I had read earlier there was mention of putting them in the chicken coop. I didn't want to put them in there and make my girls sick. Just curious as to where other people have put them...

Delisha, how long do you soak the tennis balls and is there a certain place you should put the tennis balls? Thanks, Lisa :)

Oooooh! Thank you for posting your pictures. Your brooding coop over the nesting boxes is exactly what I have been thinking about. Now the key is to get my DH to build it for me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Lisa :)

Hi Galanie! I am sorry you are having to go through this with your son and his wife. Unfortunately they are being blindsided by their love for the dog. I can see both sides. I am a dog lover and a chicken owner. Last year I saw the devastation by two small stray dogs to my flock. They...

Wood Smoke!!! mmmmmmmmm I really do miss the four seasons by living here in S. Texas. Have you ever baked potatoes in your wood stove? Lisa :)

Thank you 'JustMe' and 'Beekissed'!! I am also a visual person. O wow, this is right down my DH's alley. Simple, cheap, and efficient!! Lisa :)

I understand totally! I step away from the computer for a bit and come back and there are 5-10 more pages added!! So much information and my little brain is trying to absorb it all. Thanks! Lisa :)

I am trying to keep up with this post, but I must have missed your comments on the hay bale brooder. Would you please explain it for me? I am reading everything possible to get ready to have chicks. I have all girls and I believe 2 of them are brooders. It seems like you guys are waiting...

Hi! Almost a year ago I put up fishing line over my coop. Looks like a giant spider web. I had hawks and owls getting to my girls. Knock on wood, since I put the 'web' up, I haven't had any more deaths. I do check it periodically to make sure it is still taut. Lisa :)
