    Saw this ad on CL... seriously, I don't believe this

    Someone offered me 8 baby ducks that they bought to have for the kids for one day. Sadly dh won't let me have them. I am really shocked that someone would be so cruel to the animals and the kids.

    Anyone know any *natural* ways to help with the flu?

    I always just up the fluids lots. My fav for the flu is mint tea (hot). Sometimes I add some lemon or orange. No milk or sugar. Otherwise I never touch hot tea.

    Blood transfusion mistake questions....

    I have been an RN for 15 years and worked in a hosp for a lab for 10 years prior to that and have never heard of this happening. Or maybe it was just hushed up. Hope your friend is ok.

    They don't seem to accept boundaries. What if they decide they want to stay in your house? Thats my only fear.

    chicken run---how tall?

    Our covered run slopes from 8ft to 6ft. We are bumping the side out from 14by 5 to 14 by 12 this summer. It will also slope but to 4ft and just hardware cloth top. Dh wants to put the metal roofing on that also but i think I want that part with no solid roof.

    Poop stuck on feet

    I need to do this but have been putting it off. Just bathed 2 silkies this week. I just noticed the cochin's need a butt bath too. I don't remember bathing and poo picking being in the chicken instruction book. Someone really needs to revise it!

    coop cleaning time--YUCK

    It has been very damp here lately and noticed that yucky coop smell. Just finished the complete clean and the girls are loving it. But hauling all that stuff the 20 feet to the compost pile wasn't my idea of fun. I'm thinking i need a bin right beside the coop. And of course I smell like it...

    chick with bloody toe

    well they left that foot alone and started on the other one. I know it's not the feathered feet because there is another feather foot in there and they leave that one alone. It also isn't the smallest. So why this one. Looks like I get to hand raise this one.

    So...I stopped at the feed store

    Ok don't feel bad, I hit dh when he was down. He had oral surgery today and while he's all drugged up I ask if I can go to tsc and pick up some chicks. Of course he said yes. So now we have 4slw and 4 mixed bantams. He is sober now and thinks they're so cute! Good Luck!

    what is a tetra pint

    I called a tractor supply about chicks and they said all they had left were tetra pints. They said they were egg chickens. Is there such a chicken? Another tsc had slw, comets and rocks. So I will finally get my slw. Any advice on picking females only?
