    Chicken Village almost complete- Photos to share

    I don't know if it matters but grammatically it should be "La maison des poulets" and "créée" it looks like you could easily change that

    Netflix opinion

    Although I hate their pop up and pop under adds, I love netflix. I try to rent 10-15 dvds a month on the 3-at-a-time plan and then some instant so it comes out to being a little over a dollar a movie. I mostly watch foreign and lesser known movies so it's great. If I wanted new releases Id go to...

    frayed feather (and molting) questions

    To refrigerate or not to refrigerate?
