My Aunt, in the 60s & 70s would dye her white tea cup poodle a different wonderful color every week, with Kool aide, and the dog always smelled so good....................

I tried it with a white cat I had, and sure enough...the white cat was then purple & I let her out to play...wonder what the neighbors thought when they looked out to see a purple cat walking the fence...............and not to mention the purple cat smelled oh so good like grape kool aide !!!!!!!!!!!!!    

Got back from Home Depot & now have chick proof fencing up so the little bastardos cannot escape anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got the 40" high green plastic fencing & cut it in half long ways & zip tied to the existing 2x4 feild fence...............

Hopefully the Houdini chicks stay with Momma~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: chicken wheat from Azure Standard.... where the hell was that post?  

My friend has not called me back.  People do not call people back around here. Or should I say nowadays.  Annoying.  Anyhow, I therefore don't have the answer for you.  I can't order the stuff because I overfeed my birds.  Fat fat fat fat fat fat........

Rainwolf, I love your signature.  I talk people's ears off (or, eyes off, as is the case) with out knowing anything.  Good to know that you are being proactive about taking no responsibility for it.  I should take a page from your book!

I bought some new gravel for the 46 gallon tank, 15 fish. A dozen of Cardinal Tetras are going to go into the 46 g tank. Right now they are hanging out in the 75 gallon tank with the Glass Cats. The other 3 fish are Tin Foil Barbs, and they get to live in the big tank. I think that the 3 TB's that I got from Tomatolady, were very happy to have some kids just like themselves. The Red Tail Shark wasn't very happy with the new kids. But I really don't think that any of the fish will remember that there are 3 new kids in the tank come tomorrow morning. 

 

 

DH left yesterday for a couple of weeks, so things are back to normal around here. By the end of last week everything was back to very nice. We actually had a date. I love to go and have a dinner in a restaurant, just so that I don't have to eat while being stared at by a pack of dogs. 

 

 

I was so addicted to my fish tanks......I had fresh water angels for ever...and dove head first into salt water tanks and them for years !!!!!!!!!!

NEVER WATCHED TV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After work I laid in front of my big salt water tanks & watched anemones & fish that would blow you away..then moved to CA and raised Koi........went to Koi shows, was in the clubs & all.....insanity !!! Loved every minute of it.

THANKS

Inside their door, is a heat lamp, should they need it, in they go.

Also the same for incubator chicks, started in a brooder & when vaccinated & fledged, I open the door.

They can then go out if they want, and come in when they are cold.

They are smarter than you think !

Except for Polish, I hear they will sit out until completely snowed over.  

New hatch of Wellies !!!!!!!!!!!!    BIG dark brown eggs....the most gorgeous chicks...fiesty & active !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have yet another lockdown tomorrow of OEs  and a week after that a lockdown of Orloff X Ameraucanas..............should be some party colored OEs !!!!!!!!!!!!
