    Rant Rant Rant!!!

    ...everyone googles everything, which is why there ARE forums...they can search it out, read what has/has not worked for others, and move from there. ***Before you flame that, I agree that extensive research should be done, and if they don't have the time they shouldn't do it**** I don't...

    Wondering what to do with all your eggs?

    Yes, I'm late in seeing this, but it looks yummy!! I too am overwhelmed with eggs, (almost a dozen a day) and need some new ideas. I plan on making some bread and mayo, but need some for freezing....anyone got some good ones? Seems I read that you can freeze them after scrambling, (before...

    my coop is simple...

    I think it looks great! I'm going to modify one part of my coop this week so I can move the pullets into it. They can fly as well, but I don't want them out, so I'm going to put a wire-type cover over the outside part. And I agree, no dog is chewing through a cattle panel! lol Your...

    Spiderman is REAL

    Thanx all..he is 9 and long legged, so for him its easy I guess! My DH used to do it when he was a kid, as well, so we all got a kick out of it.

    Spiderman is REAL

    Yes, thats right, he is REAL and occassionally drops in to my house to pay me a visit. These rare photos were taken as he was 'laying in wait' for any criminals that might make the wrong choice in houses. Think the tabloids would buy them?

    Buff Orpingtons

    My buff roo is very standoff-ish. He was bought at a swap, and was pretty much 'wild' when I got him. Ah well, he's good to his girls, and thats what matters to me!

    Natural Predator Control

    My dogs do a fine job. They are out during the day, and I'll let them run the north pasture where they urinate on everything, which seems to deter all critters. When we moved here, it was like a darn wildlife preserve...since the dogs, I haven't seen a thing! (this includes, racoons, possums...

    Do your kids have chores?

    I guess I'll try to post without getting on a soapbox or making anyone mad. I apologize if you are offended. I personally think parents nowadays are so worried their kids won't like them, or they are working on "positive parenting' and end up being not a parent but a 'buddy'. I don't pay my...

    OMG! I can't believe what my SO said today!!

    I think we are all so lucky with our DH's!!! Mine was sooo against chickens for the longest time, and now?? HE is the one ordering on line from the hatchery!! And although he is gone 90% of the time, his phone calls are "How many eggs did we get?" "How are the 'peep-peeps' doing?" "How are...

    Kicking myself for my stupidity.

    It happens more than you think hun. My 9 year old son has had "allergy induced asthma" since he was about 6 months old as well....we didn't know what the problem was until he was almost 2. Alot of up all night crying, stuffiness, etc. Finally, he was able to say 'can't breath' and we took him...

    Hmm, how should I do this?

    My dad used to use a wire coat hanger. Undo it, leaving the curved end alone. Set it on the ground, or gently hook it around the leg, when they try to get loose, their feet stay splayed out, thus keeping them 'hooked'....it takes a bit of patience, but if they are busy eating, you can do it.

    Who has seen/will see the movie Hancock?

    They don't use the "f" word, but a$$ is used alot, and generously sprinkled in are the others. Unless your child is completely sheltered, I don't guess its any more than they hear on tv or other movies, or in public for that matter.

    Who has seen/will see the movie Hancock?

    Took my 9 year old son to see it....didn't realize there was THAT much profanity, but by then there wasn't much I could do about it. I thought it was "ok'....I've seen much better out of the director, and out of Will Smith. I would give it a 'B" on the grading scale. I felt it needed some...

    As if my neighbors didn't already think I'm nuts

    hehe, that was a good laugh, sounds like something I would say to my MIL! Although I don't have 'neighbors', the people that used to rent this place (we now own it) had several children,etc. They were slobs. But, my point is that every time it rains, something new washes up out of the...

    Uh-Oh! My husband decided to pay attention

    *sigh* my DH is the opposite. He is going all out with the chicken thing. Problem is, he orders chicks, then goes out on the road (OTR truck driver) so I have to take care of them from start to finish. Same with the garden...ok, I'll confess, we BOTH wanted that. So, in return for my hard...

    Is a fenced off garden cruel?

    I agree with the others, I have mine fenced off, and the tomato tops, brocolli stems, leaves, etc al go to the girls and they love it! This fall, I will drop down the fence and let them have at it!
