    Thinking about getting drums.... Can you tell me about them?

    I don't play the drums but my youngest son is a drummer. He took lessons for 10 years, from ages 8 through 18. He started out with a drum pad and a set of sticks. We did not buy him drums right away. He used the drum pad for a few months of lessons and when his teacher told us he thought...

    diverticulitis

    No ideas about diverticulitis but wanted to let you know that my sister had kidney cancer back in '94 when she was 27 years old. One kidney was removed and they found that the cancer had not spread. She did not need chemo or radiation. She has been cancer free since. Heres to hoping that you...

    Head Lice in Our Area! YUCK!

    Head lice is not the end of the world. It doesn't mean that you are not clean. I don't like bugs any more than the next person. When two of my boys got lice in middle school, I checked with the nurse at school and she told me that there was an outbreak on their bus. It would have been nice...

    Whats the craziest thing you have ever seen on the road?

    A few years ago, I was driving on I-95 in Delaware with one of my son's. I had recently got a speeding ticket so I was in the slow lane trying to behave. My son was commenting on my slow driving when all of a sudden he stopped and said "Don't look now but you are about to be passed by the...

    someone's second hand smoke.and my baby

    I'm not sure that even having AC would help. I can smell cigarette smoke inside my house from my neighbors smoking and they are probably 200 feet away. They do smoke outside as they have a baby living with them. I have had the AC on since June. The smoke in my house is probably not at a...

    Integrating older crowd with the teenagers

    I got up before the sun and opened the pop door. I wanted to make sure that the chicks could get out of the coop and not be "trapped" by my grumpy BO. Everyone made it through the night unscathed. My older hens really want out of the run and into the yard but I am going to keep them in with...

    Integrating older crowd with the teenagers

    Good luck tomorrow with letting the chicks range for the first time. I am still a little while away from that. My hens usually range all day. We have about an acre fenced out back for the chickens. I have never lost one to a predator but we do have alot of hawk activity. I just feel that my...

    Thumbs Up to Droll Yankee

    I recently emailed Droll Yankee to ask about getting a bird feeder repaired that had been damaged by squirrels. I was thinking it was going to be a hassle to get the feeder fixed although the company does state in it's guarantee that they will repair squirrel damage. In the email, I explained...

    Integrating older crowd with the teenagers

    Just after 8:30pm here. The chicks went into the coop, well after the three older birds. There was a little bit of squawking when one of the chicks decided to get up on the roost next to the BO. Most of them are in one corner of the coop, huddled together. I know that they are unsure of what...

    Integrating older crowd with the teenagers

    I have had a similar situation this year. I have three 2 year old hens and back in May got 9 new chicks. They are now 11 weeks old. About 5 weeks ago, I sectioned off part of my covered run and put the chicks out during the day so that the hens could see but not touch. I rounded the chicks...

    This is you chance to give me your opinions!....On....Vacuums!

    I have an 18 year old Electrolux that I love. About nine years ago I bought a Miele so that I could have a vacuum on both levels of the house. I really thought I would like the Miele more than the Electrolux. The Miele is a nice machine, but now that we have moved and live all on one floor, I...

    putting new hens on roost with established hens after dark

    Today I put my nine five week old chicks in the run for the first time while my 3 big girls ranged in the yard. I sectioned off an area for the chicks that allowed for face time if the big girls came back into the run for food. They saw each other through the fencing but there was no outward...

    putting new hens on roost with established hens after dark

    I am wondering about this too. I have three 2 year old hens in the big coop and have nine 4 week old chicks that I want to one day be one flock. I tend to sweat the small stuff when it comes to my chickens but I am going to keep an eye on this thread to get some ideas of how to integrate when...

    watering baby chicks

    I have a nipple waterer in with my chicks as well as the regular old mason jar waterer. I have had it in with them for more than a week but have yet to see one use it. I guess if I sat long enough and watched I would see it. I didn't put much water in it so I can't really tell by the water...

    What happens to all the Rooster chicks?????

    I used to be involved with a wildlife sanctuary. We would get large bags of frozen, day old chicks from hatcheries. I was told that they were all roosters. We fed them to many of the birds and a few of the mammals that were being rehabilitated at the sanctuary.

    Going to another state...would it work?

    After being retired for 5 years, my husband took a contract job with the federal govt. It is about 2 hours from where we live. We had no intention of moving as I work here and could not transfer to another state. Nor would I want to. I am towards the end of my career and am in a good spot...

    NBA? anyone?

    Sorry we couldn't get rid of the Celtics for you, Cup. It was ugly basketball. Go Heat!

    NBA? anyone?

    It's not starting out good for the Sixers. My husband has changed the station as the Phillies are playing too. I can't say that I hate the Celtics, but it would be cool if the Sixers won. I don't like the Lakers because I detest Ron Artest. I don't get the Meta World Peace thing. There is...

    NBA? anyone?

    Realistic Sixers fan here. Tonight should be interesting. I have to agree with you on Spurs/Heat final but I would like to see the Heat win. I was so happy to see the Lakers get beat. I don't stay up late enough to watch the west coast games so I didn't actually get to see it. See ya...
