For your craft projects, four of the plastic-type pet food bags. Large bags from Purina Layena, Purina Dog chow, and Purina cat chow, and one medium (20 lb?) bag from Dumor Chick Starter, this one has been cut on the ends. The other three bags are in original shape with only the tops cut.
I feel that if Amish (or anyone!) want to do business with people outside their community, then they should be held to business standards, and 6 weeks late is not the standard. It's very poor. Have you had any contact with them?
Binders, I wish I could keep live plants. I've tried and tried but always end up with algae blooms. I have to content myself with plastic, but they have such nice ones now it's really hard to tell. I am however thinking of adding some marimo balls. They're so cute!
Roy Rooster, that's so awesome you can keep your puffer in a comm. tank. I don't have a tank room, the two larger ones are in my living room. I'll admit the 55 is the focal point of the room! The smallest tank is in my younger son's bedroom. My fish are all about 1 year old except for the...
I have three tanks - one 55 gallon with a Jack Dempsey, a large catfish and a clown loach. My others are a 25 gallon with 2 angel fish, 4 corydora cats and an albino pleco, and one 5 gallon with a long-finned rosy barb and an endler.
Your tank is stocked so full! Have you had any of your fish...
I have a small coop for three bantam hens. They are only just mature (one has started, and now stopped, laying - the other two are just getting red in their combs). The coop is actually a converted (huge!) rabbit coop to which I've added a run, and they also have access to the space under...
I'm very curious to those who do keep their chickens in the house (especially the Serama owner), how will they get exercise? One thing I thought of was setting up a giant dog crate sans bottom grid out in the grass, and putting them in there for a couple of hours on nicer days.
I wish I could...
That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. I wouldn't do it even if it wasn't weird because I need my chickens to stay within their boundaries. If I started taking them out of the yard they'd wander out on their own which is bad. However if you had a house chicken, special-needs chicken or...
All of my animals are taken care of by me - every meal, every grooming, every litterbox or aquarium or coop cleaning, etc. I brought them all home, so I willingly take care of them all.
My sons will take the dog for a walk though
I did everything the same as I did last year, three raised beds and several container tomatoes. Last year my garden produced more than I could possibly eat so I canned for the first time (I usually only grow enough to eat fresh). This year, out of 7 tomato plants I've gotten exactly 15 cherry...
I honestly can't think of any way I won't eat an egg. I love eggs! I guess I eat them most often sunny side up, 2nd favorite would be soft-boiled. The only egg I'd never eat is a hundred-year egg!
There are many threads on this subject, and I've read that keeping him in a box (during sleep time) such as a small dog crate may keep him from crowing as roosters have to lift their heads to crow, and they can't do that if there's not enough height in the box. He's just doing what roosters...

I have heard this many times from farmers. Chickens instinctively go for healthy grass, bugs, grit, etc. Sometimes I think people overthink things, especially chickens.
Maybe you could give the splints some time to work, it says only 5 days is needed to clean out the medication, in the meantime feed him something non-medicated.
