I need help. What should I use to straighten a chicks toes?? Mine have crooked toes and I dont have the medical tape I used last time.

I've seen band aid bandages used. Pipe cleaners.

 

[lazy gardener]

Yep, best $20 I've spent all week!

Ok, please explain how this works? Stops all the stupid ads in the side bar that lock the system up? For how long?

You keep correcting my spelling, I'm going to start correcting your redneck grammar!!

It's not nice to call his Gran'ma a red neck, even if she does need to be corrected.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I trapped and shot a fox. When I rolled her over, she was obviously nursing. The way I look at it, that was at least 6 or seven taken out of hunting my ground
Don't feel sorry for this:

When it turns into this:

I have to agree. Baby predators are still predators.

Afternoon all. I was busy this morning had to go to New Orleans. I am officially an American citizen.

Congrats chicapee!

Got bandaids? They may work.

As I just convinced my husband a few months ago to get chickens (and he's still not fully on board) I have not made an incubator yet. YET! I have this weird compulsion to make things to supposedly 'save' money. And I like doing it. I probably use the tools more than him and I have to say the cordless drill is the best fathers day present I ever got him.

We built our own coop. I had grand delusions of how cheap it would be and even gathered scrap materials from my FIL and from work. Still all and all I think we're at around $500. Which isn't terrible but not my goal either. The wire for the run just arrived last weekend so that's next.

My next step is to scoop up a rooster so I can have fertile eggs for hatching.

Then I'll probably build an incubator and aim for world domination.

CraftCrazyChick: You think like I do! Gotta love those power tools. My chief complaint is that they don't make good quality, sized for a woman's hand or even for a woman who is vertically challenged. I could retire a millionaire if I could come up with a line of power tools designed for the woman who is not afraid to use them! They would be as powerful as the standard versions, WELL made, and NOT PINK. They would have appropriately sized handles to fit the female hand, and would also be appropriately sized for the average woman's shorter stature and lesser muscle bulk. I started the chicken craze 3 years ago. In the last 4 years, I've built a cattle panel green house, 2 story cattle panel chicken coop, 2 chicken tractors, and Hubby and I built an incubator and a good sized chicken coop. I started my flock with chicks hatched in my home made incubator. It's styrofoam, with thermostat, 2 x 40W light bulbs for heat, has a computer fan, and plenty of ventilation. I'm proud of how effective it is, considering how crude it is. If I want an other ventilation hole, I grab a sharp pencil and make one! If I want to dangle a digital thermometer in a certain location, I grab my pencil, and make an other hole. Don't want a hole I've just made? Packing tape to the rescue! I hatched 5/6 with an early quitter, I think 17/20 the second time, and 19/28, and 22/?26 this spring. BTW, Doms are the best!!!!

For however long you have the membership. You can do 6 months or a year at a time. There are other perks as well as no ads, such as being able to change titles, more pm storage, access to places non Gold Feathers can go....

I think it's well worth the money. And reasonable.

Pushaw, that's just a silly little chat thread This is a highly informative piece of literary genius A cornucopia of highly evolved theories The mecca for the best and brightest minds of the hatching world to come together for the betterment of chickendom Nah, nevermind, this one's flocking crazy

Very funny, you're on a roll today, SC.

Love it! I take care of my mom, and she sees me sitting and laughing at the computer and says (in a sarcastic tone "it must be nice having all your new chicken friends now, are they as crazy as you"?...so I guess the answer is...yes??!!??

Ok, to a more serious point. I'm at the end of my second incubation in my beloved Brinsea. @scflock you helped me with my stupid humidity problem a month back. There are 3 eggs left in the bator, how do I tell if they're dead? They're nasty cause Blob (you know who I'm refferring to, @AmyLynn2374 ) crawled all over them, so I would prefer as limited physical contact with them as possible

I'm a huge fan of the float test! Do it!!

OK so I am now caught back up. I actually use Amys daily candle pics to keep me inline. I will start at candle day 12 tomorrow. Been a long time since I shut my eyes, gonna go check my eye lids for holes.
Roger 10-4 good neighbors.
I am glad I found this thread yall are a riot act. The picking and poking keeps it interesting in between the important incubating talks, oh and Amys PRN/QID pics of her eggs. I know someone in the medical field up here will cipher the QID PRN stuff out for yall. Until tomorrow. Good Night John Boy, Good night Elizabeth. By the way SC I here John boy when I read your post don't know why. As for Amy the blond off sex in the city. I never watched it but have seen a blue million commercials enough that I feel confident. Amy I dub you Candle Queen whatever her name is....
