    best place to get avairy netting?

    I second 3T Products. I just ordered 25'x50' from their website- it was the cheapest place I found, and I ordered on the 12th and got it on the 14th. Heavy duty stuff too.

    Haircuts, Haircutes and Hairews

    I have super thick hair. I would love to get a short cut, but come some humidity it would turn into a 'fro. I restrain it in a bun every day too.

    Call ducks soft shelled eggs for 2 years staight?

    I have 1 grey call hen who always lays soft-shelled eggs. Sometimes they are borderline hard, but never an actual egg shell. She gets free-choice layer pellets and oyster shell. All of my other calls lay normal eggs, so I am convinced she has a problem internally. She is also quite small.

    Nigerian Dwarf Population Explosion!

    Thanks mamabird! All of our pastures are fenced with 7-wire high tensile, but we are hoping to use some fixed-knot fencing in the future. Hopefully by then I will have a good argument for why goats are a necessity on this farm. Beautiful website, btw.

    Cat toys that look like tiny chickens!

    Haha! Love it! I saw similar cat toys at TSC, but I think they were ducks. Too bad this house has a black hole that sucks up cat toys- I suspect it's under the oven.

    Nigerian Dwarf Population Explosion!

    Aww! They are just adorable. My fiance' has said "No goats!" but if I came home with cuties like that he couldn't say no! What do you use for fencing? I've been wondering if the smaller goats are more difficult to contain than larger breeds.

    Feeding chickens raw milk

    I give extra milk from our cow to the chickens. Most of the time I mix it with some layer pellets and let it sit until the pellets have absorbed all the milk and are mushy- it's less messy to feed that way. Sometimes they get a bowl of milk only, but they get so excited about it and always find...

    A bit of an emergency for the Two Old Fools

    How did I miss this??? The kittens are adorable, and the mother is beautiful as well! If I ever vacation in Spain I will bring big, empty suitcases... homeless kitties melt my heart! Bless you for caring for them.

    Who's the boss...you or the ducks?

    The ducks are the boss around here! If the feeder happens to be empty, I hear constant ear-splitting shrieks until it gets filled again. When I'm in the process of cleaning the pool they all start quacking "Hurry up!"... and I think they may also be insulting me. It's a good thing they're so...

    Eleanor Burns lied to me

    I am a BIG fan of Eleanor Burns! I watch her shows on PBS, and the scrap throwing cracks me up every time. Yeah, quilt in a day... I could never!

    O.K I have had it!!!

    Quote: My brother had a very talkative Furby. It started chattering late at night and my dad couldn't figure out how to turn it off. He put it under a cast iron frying pan covered with dish towels- but bashing it with said frying pan would have worked better.

    Update !!! Bluetick Pictures and Pedigree

    Oh the cuteness! I love all the different spot patterns. I took care of a litter of 11 puppies once for 2 weeks- whew! It was big fun, but lots of work (and little sleep!) Thanks for sharing your cuties!

    If you had 20 acres....

    Cow. 20 acres? Many cows! I love my girls (little Jerseys). One look into those big doe eyes and your heart will melt.

    Planer shavings- Cherry?

    The cyanide compounds in cherry trees are concentrated in the sap, and thus in actively growing parts of the tree: leaves, cambium, bark. Shavings from dry wood should be pretty safe. Also, when dry, the cyanide in cherry dissipates (that's why wilted cherry leaves are sooo toxic to grazing...

    What do you use as a waterer?

    I use a 3-gallon Little Giant waterer for my 12 calls. I love it because the water level in the base is a lot lower than the lip of the base, so they can't make a huge mess by splashing water out. It also never gets muddy inside the reservoir- when the water in the base gets yucky I just pour...

    Are cherry pits bad for chickens?

    A pie cherry tree hangs over my run. My chickens have consumed a lot of cherries with no ill effects. I know the pits contain cyanide compounds- not sure if a chickens gizzard can grind them or not though. I think that since your chickens have limited access to the cherries, they will probably...
