    I Need Some Advice

    I think we the consumers can keep businesses on their toes by politely but firmly making them correct errors like that. I know there's such as push to provide cheap products, but if a cheap product doesn't work, or (like your experience) is 1/2 the size represented, then it's no bargain.

    I Need Some Advice

    My daughter's 16, and apparently she found it pretty funny, as "Mr. M" is VERY easy-going most of the time. I HAVE had to caution her that sometimes what men (and women!) say when they're working on cars, hot water-heaters, lawnmowers, etc. shouldn't necessarily be repeated by young ladies in...

    I Need Some Advice

    Well, here's the almost-final chapter in this saga. My handyman DID get most of the little pen together yesterday. My daughter reported to me that about every other sentence contained a colorful word or two, but he DID get it mostly together. There is still 1 panel in the roof that we can't...

    I Need Some Advice

    Well, at the very worst anyone thinking of buying this may be able to stumble upon what I've written here and then at least be more informed. I'm going to try again tomorrow to figure out a way to put the thing together. My handyman-friend will be here, too. If together we can't figure a way to...

    Yes, I contacted them because their text said that they could provide better instructions. In fact, the text said they'd email the better instructions when you purchased the product. Well, there are no "better instructions" for this particular product. :(

    I Need Some Advice

    Hello Everyone, This may not exactly fit here, but I thought this might be the place to get some advice. I recently bought a small mobile metal chicken-tractor ($300+ with shipping). I was planning to put some young pullets in it out in my now-bare garden. I won't give the pen's brand here...

    Coughing goat

    If he continues to cough, and you really think there might be trachea damage, take him to the vet. Is there any swelling around the trachea, or a lump that you can feel? It's also possible it could be lung worms or congestion, and he started coughing because he got stressed & upset. Even...

    New to the Coop

    Thanks for the "hellos!" It IS busy on the farm, but it keeps me going, and I think it's the best life for a child. We also try to make sure our animals have as normal and happy lives as possible according to their species. I like my chickens, and we've had some really sweet pets (usually...

    New to the Coop
