    Mpwjaa06s Member Page

    Aug. 13th, 2010 I am kind of new at raising chickens I started April 23, 2009. I have read allot of other peoples views on what to do what not to do and what they like and don't like. I have found that it's trial and error as to what works. Chickens will let you know if they like something or...

    When is enough enough?

    That's all I have been doing is sitting back but, at the cost of my son's heart. At least that's all I see happening. Yes, I wish he could afford to have one but, he's broke and she sits on her butt drinking what little they have left or calls her momma and gets money that he has to pay her...

    When is enough enough?

    I have and he is going on base but, just makes her more mad and he is in a world of hurt and has no friends at all because she don't like them and they only tell him what they think about his wife.

    Frizzled polish's molt not going well, any ideas anyone. (PIC ADDED)

    Have you tried buying dog food and soaking it. Until light and fluffy. Also sunflower seeds help too. My vet told me to do that and I do agree with the lice and mites not easy to see. I was told to get a spray from the local feed store. I hope this helps some. Good luck Best wishes
