I just realized you are right near me savingdogs!!! I'm in Camas. I would consider myself to now be a pescatarian(vegetarian + seafood). But, like you mentioned, hard times are here and so I am really caught between a rock and a hard place. I have to make from scratch pretty much everything...

I can relate to you in regards to very limited diet. For my health I cannot eat any soy products or those that contain any sort of corn or corn product. Try reading labels and eliminating those two things - takes away about 75% of the commercially processed foods at the grocery store...
Being that we are new to ducks this year, I really can't tell you which would be the best fit... but I can tell you that ducks are not just plain ol' messy - they are 100% over the top messy. Water, feed mixed with water, and poo mixed with wet bedding gets Everywhere. They want to be clean...
Do most chickens just naturally carry this bacteria? Or is it something they have to pick up from somewhere else? If they do have it, is it passed along into all their eggs? How can you get rid of it or treat for it? How do you know if they have it?
The reason I ask is because I fed a food...

I completely agree. But it isn't really gossip if you are discussing the matter with the person the 'gossip' is about, is it? It is actually preventing additional rumors and gossip from taking place because you are seeking the truth and looking to put to rest this situation when...
I think your motive and sincerity would play a big part in things. Talk to someone if you feel you need to talk to them. But always season your words with graciousness and salt. For example, if someone told a friend of mine they had seen my DH out with another woman, and so then that friend...
Sadly, my entire day was derailed because my favoritest baby chick died and I don't know why. I just found her dead in the brooder box. I have never cried so hard, nor felt so miserable over a chick I don't think. We buried her next to her papa under the large oak in the back of the pasture...
Thanks friends!! I still cannot believe she is gone. I have felt lost all day. Normally I am not Quite so attached, but for some reason this little one really tugged on my heart. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was a different color from all the rest; I had to help her...
... was found dead this morning in the brooder box. I am devastated. It was the last to hatch, and it was a beautiful grey/yellow. The sweetest chick - that loved to cuddle. It was fine last night, but this morning ... I am clueless as to what happened. My sweet little baby, rest well...
What a clever thread!!! I hope everyone keeps up, because it really is a motivation!!
Sooo - today on my dreaded chore list - cleaning the bathrooms. I really hate doing them, nearly as much as I hate not having them done. If I get this one thing accomplished, the rest will seem like a breeze!!!
Bill Cosby is really truly an amazing person. His comedy spans generations and can be related to by all who watch and hear him. I hate to think of his growing older, and am really quite saddened at this news. "hey, hey, hey! It's Faaaaaat Albert!" "Will you quit touching me" "Yeah, Riiight...
We went to such a place when we were on vacation in Florida. LOVED it!!! It really was quite the dinning experience!! So glad you shared with us, it brings back wonderful memories of fabulous vacations.
Justbugged - I will be in Enumclaw for a dog show in August. How cool that you live...
The brilliant suggestion I heard, was to put the wasp traps at the furthest points on your property to attract wasps Away from eating/living areas. we have a bug light that goes on at night automatically, and since the coop gets shut every night the bugs in there(ie flies) gets zapped or stuck...
If she is doing well with the baby and not picking on it, then I would leave them together. We had one mama where we had to intervene, and more recently we took two of the 6 away from mama as they needed quiet to gain strength; but in general, I think it is best to let nature do its thing and...
Ok, so here is the whole story... Mama broody sat on her nest. When temperatures were near 100 degrees outside, I brought her into the house to hatch her chicks in a/c comfort; which she has for the past week. Day before yesterday she hatched out two chicks, but I had to intervene. The first...
If she just drank water that could come out of her mouth too when you went to pick her up. If it is really hot where you are could also contribute. The rest might be from stress. She may perk up once she is away from the ones who pick on her.
There are soo many milks out there now; hazelnut, almond, rice, oat, the list goes on and on. I use any and all of those with cereal etc. They are great in coffee and delicious in general. Rice milk would probably work best for baking I would think. Some people can do organic raw milk if...
Maybe mine are still young, about 4 months, but they barely do that much talking. They only really talk when strangers are in the yard. They are paired with two Khakis, who are also pretty quiet.
