    Expert chicken enablers needed

    Me, yesterday. I went in for dog and chicken feed and did that exaggerated double-take face when I heard the peeps. DD grabbed my elbow with a clear, "NO!" and steered me past the bins. The cashier and two customers lost it, laughing!

    Things you wish you could say

    If you're concerned about how it sounds, simply say, "It's to keep her from begging at the table." That way it sounds like the dog is the problem, not the idiots who keep feeding her and encouraging the bad behavior!

    There is a time and place for shenanigans. (edit: THIS is that time and place)

    Being left-handed in itself isn't a disability, but it does affect the devices you need or can use to address the issues you experience.

    What kind of litter for run?

    If you can get hold of pine needles, they make a great ground cover, too. I have a friend with a ton of pine trees in her yard. She loves it when we come clear out a few barrels of shed needles ... and so do my chickens!

    I turned DS into a nearly six foot can of Raid (yes, the bug spray) for Halloween. It was BEAUTIFUL! I know I have pictures somewhere, but danged if I can find them right now. I'll keep looking!

    Has anyone successfully combined their chicken coop with a rabbit hutch?

    Years ago, I kept rabbits in hutches in an open-sided shed. The free-range chickens took over the open area under the roof to the point where I had to add a roost. Three ducks adopted one corner under the hutches for their warm hidey-hole. But ... this was in Maryland, a much different...

They look fine outside, so you don't realize how big they've gotten until you try to bring them back in to closer quarters. That's why my Mom's never leaves the sunroom, anymore. It got too wide to...

    Banana combs are your Friends! DD has long, natural spiral curls that are so thick and dense she can't brush it without turning it into a classic Afro (We paid a FORTUNE for hair like that back in the day!) She pulls a three-finger-width chunk from each temple, twists it back alongside her head...

    We can grow them in Maryland, but they have to come back inside well before the first frost even hints at arriving. My Mom keeps one in her sunroom. It's persnickety, but when it blooms, it's gorgeous!

    Aldi's chips and pretzels are as good as or better than their name brand counterparts. I actually prefer their corn chips over Fritos!
