    Lost My First Chicken; Have A Couple Questions

    Haven't been on in a while, busy with work and other things. Today I came out and found one of my chickens, a Partridge Silkie, dead near the run door (just inside the run). I was absolutely stunned, mainly because this is my first loss and I was not expecting it, but also because she was young...

    Another "Need Advice with this Friend" Thread

    Yeah, I know, someone is always on here asking for various "How should I handle this?" stuff. But it's such a good place to get unbiased opinions from people who aren't involved!! So my dad's wife has a sister (who I know only a little and am friendly with) who makes her own jewelry. Beaded...

    A Good Old Fashion Rain Coat (Found One!)

    Anyone know where I can get one? All the stores and sites I'm checking are selling these dressy, lightweight, stylish jackets. But what I want is a good, durable, old fashioned ugly rain coat. You know, yellow, big hood, heavy duty, etc? After a while I stopped looking in the women's sections...

    Mold in Freezer??

    My fridge is brand new, less than a year old. All of my food in the freezer is pretty recent too, I really don't have anything very old. The last few days when I open my freezer I smell a mold/mildew smell. I can't see any mold, all the food looks fine, but I can smell it when I open the door. I...

    My Laugh For The Day

    Remember that popular girl in high school? The one who everyone admired? Here we are, a good 25 years later, and here is what she posted on Facebook. I had to copy it in two sections, first the pic, then the replies. Her name is Carrie, so you can see which comments are hers, which are mine and...

    Witnessed A Vandalism CLOSE-UP (UPDATE Post# 116)

    So I'm a night owl. It was 3:00am, I was about to go to bed, but decided to walk down and check the mail instead. I live on a remote dirt road and the mailboxes are all in a row at the end of my road, quite a ways down. I've gone down to the mailbox many times at weird hours of the night, so I...

    Spraying Chickens With A Hose?

    So it's almost 100 here, which I know folks in warmer climates are used to, but it's unusual for my area. I was thinking about how dogs and kids and some other animals like being sprayed with a hose on hot summer days and was wondering if the chickens would like this, or if it would terrorize...

    Some Old Lady

    So we have a customer, who is an elderly woman, she's 84 and very forgetful. She called recently to request a new appointment reminder postcard, because she is pretty sure that her elderly sister "stole hers from her fridge, because it's so cute". So I laughed, chatted with her for a little...

    Got Some Seeds & Some Dumb Questions

    I have a bunch of packets of seeds, Shasta Daisies & Black-Eyed Susans. Both perennials. I realize it's really late to plant them, but I've had them for a long time and at this point I think it would be better to plant them late, than never. On the back of the packet it says to start them...

    Is This A Lilac??? (Added New Pics!)

    This is only my second summer in this house. There are various perennials on my property and in the garden bed around my house that were here when I bought it. Lilacs in this area have already bloomed and passed. This hasn't bloomed or I wouldn't be asking, LOL. But it looks like a lilac bush...

    This Makes Me Cringe...

    So today one of my friends, a mother of two kids, posted this on her Facebook status: "...FYI~We're boycotting Burger King,they give out no more toys w/the kids meals they give apples or oranges also NO dollar fries! We placed our order and drove to McDonalds instead where there are toys and...

    Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Hate My Post Office?

    I'm just curious. I in no way mean to diminish the problems others have had, as far as losing chicks, hatching eggs, etc. That's sad and just wrong and of course very frustrating. But I can't help to notice that every month or two there's a "I hate the USPS" thread. I always read them, and while...

    Help With Father's Day? Please?

    My father FINALLY took me up on spending time with him for Father's Day this year. He's always extremely busy, and rarely takes the time to just relax and have a good time. He has serious "guilt issues" if he stops to smell the roses, so to speak. So last year he didn't take me up on it, but...

    A Reminder About Updating BYC Threads

    I see a lot of people update their thread titles with "Such and Such Update: Page 6!" I guess maybe a lot of people aren't aware of this, but you can change the number of posts that appear on each thread page in your Profile settings. I did this a long time ago, so I get many more posts per...

    Any PC Geeks? Clock Problems...

    I mean "geek" in a loving way of course, lol. I've noticed in the last month or so that my clock (lower right taskbar clock) somehow becomes slow throughout the day. At first I thought it was happening from it being left on over night, but I started shutting it down regularly, and it still...

    What Makes A Show Quality Silkie? ADDED PICS

    **I added pics for those who asked. Forgive me if this has been asked or for my ignorance in general, I know nothing about showing chickens and I don't ever visit this section. I'm not planning to show my Silkies, as I'm sure they are NOT show quality. But I got thinking about it and...

    What's Your Favorite Vacuum Cleaner?

    Mine is pathetic. Needs to go. Planning to save for a new one, but I've had bad luck with vacuums in the past. It MUST be lightweight, but not megabucks. I don't care how much you love your Kirby, I can't afford one. So it's got to be reasonably priced. Years ago I had a Kenmore, which worked...

    Can Any Rifle Enthusiasts Help Me?

    My father had a 30-40 Krag rifle that belonged to my Great Grandfather and was left to my father when my Grandfather died. It was stolen from him in around 1990. I know who stole it and I'm 100% sure he hocked it for cash, and I could even make a few likely guesses as to what towns he might have...

    Suddenly Hiding Their Eggs: Why?

    So for days I've noticed my hens haven't been laying... or so I thought. I went out today, again surprised to still see no eggs, and by chance I decided to look UNDER the coop. There were 15 eggs, all in a bunch, many from my RIR, and various ones from my Bantams (but I can tell by the eggs they...
