    Me Vs The Raccoons: A Dramatic War Between A Woman, Bandits, and My Feeder

    Everything you are about to read is true, and it was just as funny for me as it is probably going to be for you: I put out my brand new feeder for game birds on the oak tree. The two inch wood looked impenitrable. It required you to enter the feeder house to reach the bird seed mixture. The...

    Help NEEDED BAD!!

    One thing I've learned is that johnson's baby shampoo will kill them. It killed two of my pet rats, only a drop. I don't know if this will help at all. Besides that, I agree a working terrier would be nice, if you are willing to risk the dog getting hurt or diseased, or a dachshund would be...

    How does the shipping work with chicks?

    How does the shipping work with chicks?

    I just ordered the Top Hat special from Mcmurray hatchery, but I didn't see anything explaining how to get them. From what I understand, I'll be getting them on the 31??? Or is it totally random and just means this week??? Also, do I just go and pick them up at the ups store or will they call...
