    Dirt-flavored eggs

    Howdy! Long time no see. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic; I will move it if necessary. Recently (within the past 1 1/2 years) I've been increasingly dealing with dirt-flavored eggs. I've changed feed brands several times, cleaned nest boxes more frequently, wormed birds...

    Thoughts on natural mite control? Bad infestation not responding to chemicals.

    ...success with natural mite remedies / control methods? I.E., food-grade DE, essential oil sprays, herbs? (I know the risks of DE, but arguably *all* dust is bad for lungs, so I make an effort to provide good ventilation.) Lisa Steele (Fresh Eggs Daily) has several articles on the...

    Anyone Linux users out there?

    This is one of the most 90s' things I've seen in a while, and I absolutely love it. Dad's a computer hobbyist, so I grew up on Linux and we've fiddled with several different versions over the years - Ubuntu, Knoppix, PuppyLinux, Bunsenlabs, Crunchbang, etc. I currently use Ubuntu Studio...

    Purple Cow - Would You Try It!?

    I'm not a fan of (concord) grapes, but for some bizarre reason this sounds good...

    Feeding dog kibble to supplement protein intake?

    Will do! The 16% is the only one I can get at the moment, unfortunately. I used to mill my own feed with great results, but during COVID it was near impossible for me to source the raw grains. Things are starting to calm down enough that I can start looking into that again. I don't have an...

    Feeding dog kibble to supplement protein intake?

    ...I now have about $80 worth of feed that isn't being used. Our other dogs don't like it. My birds were on a local laying feed that I found out has *way* too little protein, so we're now dealing with no eggs (and feather picking). They're now on 16% ration, but it's going to take a couple weeks...

    My Little Pony, My Little Pony

    I've collected the 1980s / 90s / early 2000s lines for roughly twenty years. It's fluctuated during that time (at one point I had nearly 200) but there has always been at least one pony on a shelf somewhere in my room. I learned a lot about vintage toy / doll restoration from this hobby, which...

    Any Equestrians Here?

    *waves* I used to ride frequently for my family and another ranch. Between general life stress and lower back pain, I lost a lot of my confidence and didn't ride again until about a month ago. My boy is old - about 24 - so he'll have to be in much better shape before we attempt to range ride...

    Poll Time! Chocolate + Peanut Butter

    None of the above. Good ol' Hershey bars with peanut butter slathered on them is the way to go IMO.

    Did you always want chickens? Why did you get them?

    As an eight year-old, it seemed like a good idea and my dad caved. I've never shaken the addiction.

    What's the temperature where you are???

    We've been in the thirties - fifties range for about two weeks. There's been a nice combination of snow, rain, and wind to remind me that I'm not fully prepared for winter...

    Things you wish you could say

    If you're going to be awkward around me, you should just ask me out so we can be awkward together.

    What made you happy today?

    Made an offhand comment to my mom about how a local instrument store was offering sales on their cases and bass guitars, and was met with, "Well, you'd better grab things while they're still in business. Send me with money and I'll pick them up for you." Not that I need permission to spend my...

    Whatcha Making for Supper?

    Homemade thin-crust pizza and a peach Arizona tea! I try to avoid HFCS but this flavor is unfortunately my favorite.

    What kind of music do you like?

    Rock in all its various forms - hard rock, alternative, punk, and a bit of metal. Grew up listening to a lot of contemporary Christian - Switchfoot, Red, Demon Hunter, Casting Crowns, Jars of Clay, Lifehouse, classic Newsboys, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Third Day - but stopped once pop dominated my...

    AZUC's arts and crafts hour.

    Just had a lovely morning scrolling through your thread with a cup of coffee in hand. So much variety. You're very well-rounded! How are you liking the new airbrush?

    Except for Bill, apparently.

    Chick hatched with organs out

    Poor baby. You're going to have to put it down - I had a similar situation a few years ago and it died shortly after hatching. I'm really sorry.

    Things you wish you could say

    My maternal grandfather died this morning. There is so much that was left unsaid.
