    clorox in water?

    1 tablespoon to a gallon is ALOT. Right. 8 drops to a gallon is what they suggest on the Clorox website for emergency water treatment. Q. Can Clorox Regular-Bleach be used to disinfect water? A. Yes. When boiling of water for 1 minute is not possible in an emergency situation, you can...

    Here's an article about it (for keeping pigeons, same idea): http://www.the-spa.com/~paulmaywald/clorox.htm

    I Woke Up With A Mouse In My Bed

    At least she didn't leave it lying on your pillow as a wake up suprise. Can you imagine waking up and having that thing come slowly into focus? Heck, I'd still be screaming. Your funny post reminded me - one of my friends was a field worker for the USFS and had to camp out on long stays. A...

    Why is my dog so nasty?

    Something like sebaceous adenitis, which is common in sheepdogs, can cause the dog to smell rancid. Since you are using extremely drying shampoo on him, it could really aggravate the condition. Poor dog!

    Help, Silkie in hiding! "got it!"

    Could a neighborhood kid help? Maybe Animal Control would be willing to help you? Maybe put a heatlamp and some familiar objects (waterer/feeder) just under the porch where you can reach her?

    My rooster beats me and today he framed me. :(

    Carry a super-soaker and start putting BOTH of those bad boys in their place! Cheers, Michelle

    Another Lameness Mystery - Horse related FINALLY AN ANSWER! Not good

    My mare tore her deep digital and superficial flexor tendons and should have never been able to walk again. Her prognosis was grim... It has taken a loooong time, but it has healed & she is sound. She gallops across the pasture all the time (crazy Ay-rab). UC Davis has a very good tendon...

    rain barrell &goldfish

    If you just use up the water in your barrel every couple of weeks by watering it all out into your garden - there won't be mosquitoes hatching out of it (the life cycle is 14+ days). You can drink bleach or iodine (used in water purification tablets for backpacking). I always just drank the...

    rain barrell &goldfish

    I think PC meant not to feed it to chickens only if I added chlorine bleach to it as he was suggesting. I must be even slower than usual tonight. It still reads to me as 'add chlorine, then use it in the garden'. I can't figure out why you'd use chlorine in the garden. Or use chlorine for...

    rain barrell &goldfish

    I wouldn't use it for chicken water, only for the garden. This is odd to me & shows how we have removed ourselves from nature. Healthy live water sources often contain a whole host of aquatic life. I love the idea of fish in the rainbarrel because it will benefit the garden, and I won't be...

    I had my feelings hurt today...

    Any small chance someone lived in YOUR house before that was really difficult for your neighbors to deal with? It's a long shot, but... We had a very nasty, very bitter lady next door to us for several years. She fought with and screamed at everyone on our road - including me. After her...

    Stinky waterer

    No worries, the old waterer has been chucked. The new one is not stinky. Turkeys are healthy & rowdy, I think the limberneck one was injured. They sure like to jump and fly. Thanks! Michelle
