FRF, thegawd popped into the dedicated PSO thread to give an update. Not a hack, just a seriously bad bandwidth leak. Everyone can see it here. I can't express enough how relieved I am that they weren't hacked. It's one thing to have a glitch, another to have someone maliciously attack. I just...

Welcome to BYC, thegawd! I'm SO VERY GLAD to read this. Thank you for updating here. FRF was on the Ontario thread, not sure what was up. I'll make sure to link your response in the other thread so people can see this. I wasn't sure if it was a hack at first but I'm glad that's not the case...

TheSitcomGirls, please make sure to send off extra bulbs/plants from that rock garden to friends & families far away from the rats. Just in case the rats get starved out from lack of a coop cuisine & eat all the plants there.

She most certainly does, FRF. That's why after a few days of the server going down I was getting concerned & we did the WhoIS lookup. I know forums/servers have their bumps, and she just did a switch/upgrade, so stuff sometimes happens. But this...ugh...I'm so hoping it's not the...

If you want a more efficient hut go for the second one with modifications. Make sure the wire is 1/4", with wire across the bottom (STILL on grass, very important). This would discourage predators from digging underneath. Being able to move it across the grass means you can give them access to...

Oh that's bad. Really bad. We did a WhoIS on the site, it looks like it was re-registered May 11th to a company/address in Washington. I don't want to be all doomsday here, but if it is out of the owner's hands then it's possible the site was hacked/DDOS'd or a keylogger caught the...

Was the PSO site hacked? It looks like it was re-registered through a company in Washington on the 11th (via WhoIS). Anyone know?

Anyone from PoultrySwapOntario migrating here, even if temporarily? Their forums have been down for a few days, possibly hacked but can't be sure. I like to use both BYC for international & PSO for local chatter. If you're from PSO give a holler so we can find each other & hook up on BYC!^^...

I have two young cockerels who were hatched in September last year. They are SilkEEs = Silkie X Easter Egger. You can see them both in the vid below, together esp at 0:21. Also, my top rooster I had posted here months ago, has become a broken record crower. He used to be quite calm, but now...

I'm way over in Ottawa, Ontario area. So I'm out of luck there. But thank you kindly for your offer, that was very nice of you.^^

I will see if they can. I'm not sure if they have that brand in Canada, but it's worth a try. Thank you very much!

Okay, I totally understand what you're saying, even if I don't understand your local soil composition. I'm glad you've got a system which works for you. Thank you for explaining it! :) The more I'm reading & searching online at the local stores (for available products), the more I'm thinking I...

Why do you go for less magnesium? Does that affect something you don't like in your garden or barn? I'm totally open here, trying to learn all I can. And thank you for your time, Fred. To add for anyone else reading: I've read many accounts of people using both limes, with great effect...

Long story short, we ended up with a bag of "Dolomitic Hydrated Spray Lime" http://www.graymont.com/en/products/hydrated-lime/dolomitic-hydrated-lime-type-s My partner was instructed to get Dolomite lime (barn/garden) instead of the other lime; slake, burnt, masons, etc. The guy at the store...

Save for rainwater, I do the same for ACV. I don't like using it much though, it does smell up like how you described it & and I like to keep mine in the kitchen. Yuck. It does take a long time, by modern definition. It's done when it doesn't smell nor taste like alcohol. I've never topped...
