    Updated w/pix!: I hate to bring back up diapers but.....

    Hey AhBee01 Great idea. I will look for some vinal table clothes right away. I have made several adjustments to the original pattern this last couple of weeks. I buy 1/8th of a yard and hardly have to do any trimming, it is almost perfect. Instead of a scoop, I like a squared off pouch...

    Considering chickens...

    Greetings ~~ Even with production breeds, not every hen produces an egg each day. Plan on 5 - 6 eggs each week, then they will also stop laying when they molt, and brood, and in the winter. The more eggs the better, you can sell the extras, or give them to your neighbors for not...

    Chicken Diapers/It came!!!

    Hi Catalina ~~ Fancie was brought to me from outside chickens, and became my pet. She is the queen of the house. Alpha to the dog, and the cat. She has adjusted beautifully to being a pet, and does not seem to miss the company of a real flock. She does not like to get her feet dirty...

    Great Ideas ~~ I think that your idea about lining it with vinyl is one of the all time great ideas about diapers. Thank you for sharing Wendy and Fancie (who is looking forward to new diapers)

    Hi Kris Rose ~ I use masking tape several ways. The sandwich bag is shortened and narrowed and given a little stiffening so that it fills the poopy pouch better all by using tape. Then I use tape to hold the bag in place, so that the poo doesn't fall in the cloth pouch, but rather safely...

    HiYa'll ~ Fancie gets dressed almost everyday, it takes her a while to get settled into her diaper. She picks and scratches and it takes sometimes more than ten minutes. I recommend that you just stick it on her and let it go for the day. As she makes her way around the house it will...

    Updated w/pix!: I hate to bring back up diapers but.....

    HiYa ~ Fancie (Silkie) wears a diaper we got from Ruth Cahill. We really need to order more because this one has been worn almost everyday since last Spring. I learned to modify a sandwich bag using masking tape, and to tape it to the diaper. The suspenders are not easy to deal with...

    Family problem! Need help asap!!!

    Greetings ~~ I have taken many classes about handling conflict, because it is a hard subject to conquer. The members are correct, it is so much better to simply and without obvious emotion to address this issue. Be sure to gather everyone involved into the same meeting at one time...

    I've been priced checked, now I feel kinda guilty.

    ~ Well, I don't have a clue as to the placement. The pins were side by side, and were evenly spaced. I wound the yarn around each one and lifted it over to form the smoothly knitted panal. I don't suppose that is much of a help. The looms themselves were sold in three sizes...

    Angry Neighbor with a Gun (fence question)

    Howdy Ya'll ~ I am really troubled by the vehemous with which he addressed the issue. Is there any way to talk with him to determine the underlying issues? Maybe the last chicken lovers abused his property. Or he may have fear issues. Or is a danger to your family and you should talk to...

    Chicken Diapers/It came!!!

    Howdy ~ I have been using a chicken diaper for my pet silkie Fancie. It is lined with a plastic sandwich bag. Mine came from Ruth Cahill and is a good value. I take her many places and her poopy pouch is a sourse of interest to every single person she meets. Wendy and Fancie (the...

    I've been priced checked, now I feel kinda guilty.

    Hey there LoneCowboy ~ The round knitting loom is very nice. I used to have a set of handmade knitting looms and would like to get another set. They were made of wood and cotter pins. Instead of round they were long ovals. I found all sorts of different stiches I could do and miss...

    HELP! Which chicken is which?

    Glad to hear it ~ I learned this from a silkie breeder at a chicken show. We had a hysterical conversation re pink chickens at judging and with points for scratch-n-sniff. MMMMmmm, raspberrie. Grins Wendy

    Silkies are easily colored with a KoolAid rinse. Prepare KoolAid using half the water. Shampoo and rinse chookie well. Gently squeeze water, wrap in towel and wick off water for a few minutes. Place in tub and pour KoolAid over. Scoop up KoolAid and pour over several times. Air dry or...
