    OMG! The commercial I just saw!

    That commercial was so funny even my Chihuahua blogged about it. http://shalomandmike.com/pets/2009/10/13/what-a-cute-optimum-pooper-he-is/

    Please Request "Raising Chickens for Dummies" at your local library!

    I said I won't, but it's only because our library is a corner of our town hall (maybe 1000 books total). They don't exactly buy books, they just have books that have been dumped off over time. In fact there isn't even a librarian. You want a book you take it. I will however consider getting an...

    What were you doing the morning of 9/11?

    I was on my way to work (WTC in my view due west of me on the highway) a co-worker and I walked into the office told our boss we were leaving, and took off toward downtown Manhattan. We were both volunteer EMT/Firefighters, and we responded as quickly as we could. I spent about 36 hours at the...

    WTB: EEs and White Layer Eggs - So. VT

    Hey everyone, Although I got my 'bator a few weeks ago, my schedule is finally winding down enough that I can start my first set. Most of my current flock are brown layers, and I'd like to mix up my flock a little bit. I'm looking for EEs and white layers. 10-12 of each. My preference would be...

    Animal Control visited me today, of all days!

    If there are laws already on the books where you are then are you following them? If so, then in my view if they change it, you should be grandfathered in. I hope the best for you! I was just about to say the same thing. They can't force you to get rid of any chickens you already have. You have...

    I want a Potbelly Pig

    My PBP lives in our mud-room. She doesn't come into the rest of the house house because our small dogs are afraid of her, and to be completely honest she hates anybody other than me. She charges at people and has been known to bite feet. I on the other hand can walk up to her, do whatever I want...

    Octagon 20 A EX w/Pump vs. Suro 20 Pump included

    I'll open it up before I use it and try to quiet it down a little too. I played with the settings and tested it last night and all different temp and humidity levels. It seemed to respond quickly to any changes I made. Obviously I started at lower humidity and worked my way up since all the...

    Mailman ran over our dog . . .its the THIRD dog he has killed!

    Sorry about your dog... Like Opa I use underground for all six of my dogs. I'd highly recommend it! Regular fences can be buried under or jumped over. If you can, go with a professionally installed system. They cost a little more, but the training and support is worth the cost. It also works...

    rural internet in oklahoma?

    Both wildblue and hugesnet have limits. If I remember correctly from when I got WB two years ago, WB's limits are higher than huges (thus why I choose them) I started out on the cheapest plan, but since both of us work from home and use the internet at alarming rates, we upgraded to the pro...

    Octagon 20 A EX w/Pump vs. Suro 20 Pump included

    I forgot to ask... Does your "Egg Van" (The turner for others) click constantly. It's not horrible, but I want to make sure it's normal. If it is I guess I won't be keeping the incubator in my den where I had planned.

    Octagon 20 A EX w/Pump vs. Suro 20 Pump included

    I changed it to that just so that I could test how well the pump would hold up and the incubator would maintain the higher setting. It's now back to the defaults and slowly coming down to 45% (factory)

    rural internet in oklahoma?

    I'm not in OK, but have rural internet issues too. I have WildBlue (satellite). It's not the best, but it was my only option. The upload delays will definitely make it harder to play games, impossible though no. One thing I warn anyone getting satellite internet is to make sure you know what...

    I got my 'bator!!!

    You can get them for $300. It's very cool, and has just about all the features you could ask for.

    Quote: It cost $300. I got it here: http://www.jmtdistributors.com/rcom-suro-20-n20.html I really wanted a Brinsea, but by the time you add the pump and everything I couldn't justify the price. I just have to remember to take it off the turner at day 18. Thanks Greenwood Chick - It's been...

    I got my 'bator!!!

    My Suro20 arrived today, and I got it all set up and running just to make sure all was ok. Unfortunately I am going away for Labor Day Weekend, and again toward the end of Sept. I think it's probably better that I don't start any eggs until I'm back. Maybe I can get some hatching eggs on my...

    VERY deformed egg!

    It looks like multiple shelless eggs that were formed over each other. Sort of like this: http://www.poultryhelp.com/visphot3.html But of the shelless variety.

    Attorneys in NE OK and NW AR--HELP please!!!!!

    Another swing you may want to take is asking the sheriffs dept. to escort you to pick up your property. You aren't asking them to get involved other than being there for your protection. (The guy has guns and you feel unsafe. ) This is often done when there are any type of property disputes...

    Double yokes !

    Double yolks can be pretty common when they start laying. My 2 sex links have been laying for a couple of months and I'd say nearly 1/2 so far were doubles. Now that they are laying almost every day that number has come down.
