Someone offered me 8 baby ducks that they bought to have for the kids for one day. Sadly dh won't let me have them. I am really shocked that someone would be so cruel to the animals and the kids.

I always just up the fluids lots. My fav for the flu is mint tea (hot). Sometimes I add some lemon or orange. No milk or sugar. Otherwise I never touch hot tea.

Looks like fun. Some of the best times we have had have been remodeling. I would have to paint the bathroom for now. Looks like something from Steven King "RED RUM". When we moved in, the master had teal walls, pink curtains and lime shag. Have Fun. Congrats!

Wish our night time temps were in the 60's, I have 8 in the house and yes they stink. Still in the 30's and getting snow off and on.

Not the best advice, but till my 50lb bag of starter is empty. Should be around 8 weeks by the looks of it.

I have been an RN for 15 years and worked in a hosp for a lab for 10 years prior to that and have never heard of this happening. Or maybe it was just hushed up. Hope your friend is ok.

Sorry. Want to come pick up some silkies to restart your flock? Free.

They don't seem to accept boundaries. What if they decide they want to stay in your house? Thats my only fear.

What a neat place! I would keep thinking up reasons to go there.

Our covered run slopes from 8ft to 6ft. We are bumping the side out from 14by 5 to 14 by 12 this summer. It will also slope but to 4ft and just hardware cloth top. Dh wants to put the metal roofing on that also but i think I want that part with no solid roof.

I need to do this but have been putting it off. Just bathed 2 silkies this week. I just noticed the cochin's need a butt bath too. I don't remember bathing and poo picking being in the chicken instruction book. Someone really needs to revise it!

It has been very damp here lately and noticed that yucky coop smell. Just finished the complete clean and the girls are loving it. But hauling all that stuff the 20 feet to the compost pile wasn't my idea of fun. I'm thinking i need a bin right beside the coop. And of course I smell like it...

They still picked with the dye on. After i removed that one, they went after the remaining bantams so i seperated the bantams from the slw and everyone is doing fine. Just have 2 brooder area's to keep an eye on. I did try one of the slw chicks with one of the basement silkies and she ignored...

My 6yo and 11yo both have major mh diagnisis. They are both adopted and came from poor situations. We have counselors in our home 3 days a week for 2hours at a time. Write down a set of rules and be consistant. Our children have to earn their rights. Nothing is free. We are currently...

well they left that foot alone and started on the other one. I know it's not the feathered feet because there is another feather foot in there and they leave that one alone. It also isn't the smallest. So why this one. Looks like I get to hand raise this one.
