We have been using the 3 Gallon Little Giant unit for about a year and a half. Our local co-op got these in for us at a bulk price. The lady we deal with at the co-op told us we really needed...

I can't say I have a ton of experience, but I do have a nine day old Mallard duckling named Pyrrhos(getting her some companions on Friday or Saturday). She is very talkative, but I don't mind the...

If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

I bought and installed several of these at one time and they all leaked right away. I removed one and took it back to the feed store where I bought it to ask for advice, and was told I wasn't the...

Good evening and Happy Easter! Well, I hope yours was happy anyhow...since it's now late....for some of us! We traveled to Milwaukee to get DS23 and then to Appleton to my brother and SIL's place. My parents and other brother and SIL and their kids were there too. Drove thorough Greenleaf on the way and waved...did ya see me Amyable? Now DD26, DS23 and DD20 and her BF went out to Madison to take youngest back to school. Sheesh--driving the whole state today practically! It was nice to see the fam again though...my youngest nephew (7th grade) is now officially taller than me! He is 6' now! It is funny because my brother is my height and his wife is shorter than me. Must be all the BGH in the milk hey?
Welcome Jakob--I am in Milford so just a stone's throw from you! You will gain much knowledge here...much of it might be stuff that you'd really rather not know about! 
I had an Easter surprise today; here she is!
First baby guinea of the year! I thought there would be more. IT was hatched late last night and I left it in the bator for the day hoping there would be more when we got home. Not yet...I didnt want to put it in with the others that are already a week old without being able to keep an eye on it for a while. Seems to be holding its own in there with the "big guys" I swear they grew a bunch today! There is aother one that is not growing however...it is another one that is black with a brownish head. It is kind of standing with its head down. I think I will give it a little Karo syrup before I go to bed.
JIm I have an incubating question...I will send you a PM.
Glad to hear you are back DrH...what an honor!
I agree, we need to see the pics of the mural Bigfam! Then you can come to my place and paint one on my barn--or garage--or even on the house if you want!
Nice job on your hatching FT--glad you got to go to Racine after all. Does your DH ever go along? Seems like you always stick him with the chores!
Hey, did you know that you can drag those little icons around if you double click them? He appeard next to the pic of the guinea so I tried it for fun and it worked! Cool!
OK--I think it is time for me to hit the hay...Sweet dreams all! Terri O

So exactly what is this big mystery mural that I supposedly inspired????? All I remember saying was your chickens will paint their own mural on the walls in no time. ![]()
