    Can I sub dry coffee creamer for powdered milk?

    My favorite english muffin recipe calls for powdered milk, but I am out! Do you think coffee creamer, non flavored of course, would give me the same results? Were going camping for the holiday weekend and always make them to take. Just don't feel like going to the grocery. I'm lazy like that!

    Trying to get an idea of the age of my chicks! (link to pics now included)

    Thanks in advance to anyone that may respond! However DH and I disagree on when we bought them. One says end of March the other says April. However, we got them at TS there was no mention of how old they were just straight run, pullets, and/or breed name. I assumed they were a day old or so...

    No pics (sorry) but could 3 of my barred rocks be roos? Now with photobucket link!

    I can only access the site mobily so i can't post pics. However 3 out the 16 of my barred rocks are lighter in color and were the first to develop combs. In the last couple of days the combs have started to turn red as well. They are around a month old.

    Newbie with a question about painting nesting boxes!

    I was wanting to have my boys, 12 and 8, to help with the coop. I had an idea of having them to help construct the nesting boxes. I mentioned to my husband that I was going to let the paint them however they wanted. He said that he was afraid that the chickens would peck and ingest the...
