. . . She said nothing rude or off flavour to anyone or made rude comments about anyone.

She did not insult anyone.

She was merely telling the truth.

 

Added: She was only trying to help you.

X2 - there were no "ad homonym" attacks on anyone. Yes, the language was strong - I would have also been as strong. "MGSU" bought me a chicken from an auction once because it looked like a really stunning bird. It caused a lot of problems in my flock and cost quite a bit in testing and vet bills, not to mention stress on me.

No, I shot the skunk, and then it released when it died.  GAG!!  BUT what I did was mix half a bottle of Lever 2000 Pure Rain body wash with a quart of Hydrogen Peroxide in a bucket, dumped the solution on the skunk, trap, and surrounding dirt, waited a little bit, then I dumped the skunk into a Glad ForceFlex bag with Febreeze scent (which is NOT scented enough to keep the skunk smell out of your nose, but it worked well enough, good thing trash pick up is tomorrow morning!) THEN I took an entire box of Arm n Hammer pet odor eliminator powder for carpets, in fresh rain scent, and sprinkled the whole area...waiting for the impending rain to do it's job with that.  By the time I was sprinkling that stuff I could breathe normally, it still reeked, but didn't make me sickbyc.gif

Why do people care what others do for crying out loud? Oh well, s/he said they won't be back until fall hmm.png

 Oh no they are really nice, she didnt mean it in a bad way at all Im sure..

Hi, I have French Black Copper Marans (love them), English Orpingtons :(colors Blue, Balck and Splash) they are so sweet. Oh also Cream Legbars :that lay nice blue eggs. We will be offering eggs and chicks from all of them just PM me to get on the list for which one youd like. We also have a few sweet Dairy goats ( Nubians and Toggs)

If there is anybody here that would let us incubate a few chicks for you, and would be willing to take the chicks after they are a few days old off our hands, we would love it!  They wouldn't be anywhere near our tiny flock at all.  They'd be incubated in the house, and the chicks would be kept in a brooder in the house until they were delivered to their new home.

 Sent you a PM

Has anyone given their chickens eggplant? I can't find any info on whether it's okay, but since they are in the nightshade family I want to double check before giving them any. Thanks!

I've given chickens eggplant. No problem that I am aware of.
