    Egg cartons

    Hi all, I have a bunch of egg cartons that I have been saving for a friend who no longer has chickens. Would any one like to have them. I live in Carson City, Nv. You would have to pick them up as I am unable to drive at this time. First request gets them all. Thanks, Kat

    Nevadans?

    Vikki Cheeseman just called me this morning and would like a response by Friday as to whether we would like to participate or not. I don't have enough eggs by myself. She said we would keep all the profits.

    Goose plucking breast feathers? Should I be excited?!

    Hi all, I tried tires for nests last year and lost a lot of eggs because they roll inside the tire walls then get covered with nesting material. The geese don't get them back out. I went to Home Depot to the scrap lumber bin. They had 2 x 6's for $.51 each. For under $5 I got enough wood...

    How Many Goose Eggs Should A Bantam Cochin Be Able To Cover ?

    My banties refuse to sit on goose eggs. Even Ying the Ninja Brooder. I think it scares them to hatch something that's bigger than them from the start.

    Hi all, Sad news. Snowflake passed last night, egg yolk peritonitis. She seemed fine that morning, out scratching with everyone. She was my only blue egg layer. I've had three other chickens that have died and they just went to sleep on my lap. She went into convulsions. It was horrible...

    Sewing Tips?

    My mom started me on embroidery to perfect my stitch length and tension. As a former bridal seamstress those were the best learning experiences for hand sewing.

    Hey guys, I have a favor to ask of someone with a pickup truck. I found a place I can get a refridgerator at, when they get them, for free. They are broken or trade-ins. I want to make an incubator for my goose eggs this year. Unfortunately it won't fit in the trunk of my car. The place...

    I want to be a vet. Do I NEED to take pre-cal in high school?

    Take it now while its free. You are looking at $200 to $300 for the class and books. Also as mentioned, you have a better learning environment in a smaller class.

    Nevadans?

    I don't think so. Last year I was part of the Dayton Valley Community Garden and there were only 8 of us. I'm just going to stick with my garden this year. I would have to fence the rabbits out at the community garden and I would just rather spend the money here. Also I can shoot the rabbits...
