    Quote: Nekton MSA is probably the best treatment for birds laying soft-shelled eggs. Adding apple cider vinegar to the water also helps. Thanks!! I will try to order some of that. I have some AC vinegar I can put in there now.

    Ah, yes...I should have known. He has beautiful eggs, and shares. If you ever figure out what to do with your soft shell layer, please share. Our silkie does that. It drives me nuts. We keep oyster shells in there all the time now, but it doesn't help. We get one good egg about every 3...

    Meg, those eggs are beautiful!!! I am such a sucker for colorful eggs. I really need some hens that lay those dark eggs. My Cuckoo Marans are pretty, but not that dark. We need a couple more Ameraucanas, too. We just finished our 3rd coop. I think there will be some room in one of them...

    ...coops every couple of hours, hoping that the water and cool rinds would help them stay cool. They seemed to appreciate it. I think it was only 96* here today. I know we have a lot worse coming. I am wondering how many water bottles I can keep switching out in the freezer. I am sorry...

    Meg--Do you homeschool your eggs? I love how you placed that egg where it could read BYC and learn all about what chickens and eggs are supposed to be doing. azpenguin--Congrats on the coop! And the hens that refuse to be gawked at. I hope they didn't stand for any CAT calls. Lame, I...

    The fake government wants me to get rid of my chickens now what? 6 hen

    I'm sorry if you have to get rid of your chickens. But, the government certainly does have the right to make these laws, and has for many years. There is no private property, but the government owns it all. We merely lease the rights to this land. If you don't think that is true, try not...

    mrsruvi!!! The heat is the only issue I know of. Totally off topic, but I am so excited today! I am missing my church (which I almost never do) to go to Tucson to Calvary Chapel. Ken Ham is speaking this morning and tonight!!! I know he did yesterday, too, but I can't justify driving to...

    Quote: I have not had rabbits for quite a while. But I know they are trainable. How about some distraction just at the end of the petting session? As in: give him his favorite treat (nuts???) to nibble on as you (the girls) sneak away? From what I remember positive reinforcement works best...

    ...shove a divider between them now.) From what I understand, some bucks just do it, and some don't. It's part of their personality, good or bad. I *THINK* I've read that younger bucks are more prone to it, and it can ease off over time. Options besides freezer camp might be to approach...

    We don't hold him, either. He loves to be scratched and petted, but we leave him on the ground. Then, when he hops away, he is spraying them with pee.

    ca--I really appreciate what you said about the vax. I agree. As parents, it is important that we question a whole lot of stuff, and not just do it because someone said so. Every organization bases its position on presuppositions and biases, which, unfortunately, often revolves around money...
