This is so cheap and generates alot of heat! Learned this from my sailing days...we used to put a clay pot over the stove burner to heat the boat on cold nights. This one uses a 100w light bulb that I have wired into a clay plant pot, taped the bottom of the pot onto the top of the pot, and...
Got these two chicks on a whim the other day when I went to pick up an assortment of other chicks. Was told they are Americaunas. I have no idea? Does anyone else here have an idea? They do have slate legs, and white skin. They both have little tufts starting on the tops of thier heads. No...
I wanted to do meat rabbits along with my chickens and finally came up with this idea that keeps the rabbits away from the chickens, keeps the chickens happy eating dropped feed, and gives the rabbits access to both indoors and out! Every one is happy...and underneath the whole set up I will...

A very dangerous act that must be fought!
The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act is a federal bill named after Melanie Stokes, a woman who suffered emotional difficulties after giving birth and was subsequently prescribed a cocktail of intensely controversial...
I know nothing about quail, but have been thinking about trying something other than chickens. Are they the same thing as pheasants? Do they dress out like partridge does...just step on the wings and pull on the feet? Are they pretty much the same as partridge? What are the differences? How...
If chicks have been vaccinated for meriks can it still show up 8 months down the road? I have a rooster with what I thought was a sprained foot, he's been limping for about two or three weeks now. He was fine besides the limp but since the really extreme cold hit he has become extremely quiet...
My pregnant daughter will move back home from 1500 miles away IF we give her her own living quarters. It is very important to me that she is near when she has this baby, she isn't much more than a baby herself...and I'm sure you can guess the rest of the story...
Anyway, my plan is to build a...
She's 18, was/is a handful, but good heart. She's 18 and pregnant and living 1500 miles away. I want her to come back home, will find her living accommodations on her own b/c we don't get along very well to be honest...but she doesn't want to be anywhere near me.
My sister is interfering...
I went to the main road for a walk to get my mail...and on the way back just as I was reaching our driveway (there are no other houses around for a ways) I saw a bear standing in the middle of the raod looking right at me. I wasn't sure what to do at first, but I knew I wasn't truning my back...
I made two new friends and had a wonderful week! I have tried to make it a habit lately to count my Blessings, and when I do I find out that my Blessings far outweigh anything negative that happens in my life.
Count your Blessings...let us know how He's Blessed YOU! Praise God!
I am building a bear proof community garbage box for the end of the private road we live on. It is fairly big, 4x8, with a hinged lid on top. I need help with one problem...many of the prople using it are elderly and the top is 3/4 inch 3x8' plywood and heavy for them. I am thinking of adding...
I'm driving 4x4 posts, using these metal post spikes that are 3 feet long to set the post on and tighten...problem is I put one in the wrong spot (don't laugh...yes I'm a woman...I admit it...) and now I can't get it out! Anyone have any bright ideas?
Yup. now I am going to make sure I have a...
CATCHING WILD PIGS
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange
students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor
noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and
stretching as if his back hurt.
The...
I'm out cleaning up the yard this morning, and I notice this...too funny...
We always lock our doors at night, because one of our kids is a real life psychopath (no exageration here) and we sleep better knowing no one, especially him, can surprise us in the middle of the night. My husband...
Well I caught my neighbors dog, the one that kills my birds when it has a chance so I can't let them out anymore...anyway I caught it and put a zap collar on it this afternon. Then I let out my rooster...suffice to say, it chased the rooster, I pushed a button, it howled and ran home...

Okay, my sister has a wolverine that lives on her property. She has no livestock to worry about but is terrified of this wolverine. I am reading information that seems to go from one extreme to the other.
Exactly how dangerous are these things? Are they dangerous to humans? Is her 3 yr old...
The other day I tied it uup in my yard, thought the neighbor would take the hint...nope...it's been here twice since, it gets off the chain I tie it too because it's collar is too big...
Anyway I have this collar here that is a training collar with a hand held transmitter. I'm going to put it...
