Hi this is chickens4gramma. Well, I no longer have my chickens due to my parents declining health, but I wanted to offer my parent's greenhouse to anyone who would be interested in dismantling and salvaging it.. It is mostly glass with a glass screen door, a shingled roof with plexiglass...
Wow, I have not been on here in ages. Too far behind to even try to catch up. But I have a question. I accidently bought pellet feed instead of crumble (switched from Purina to Del's) and my chickens will not eat it. I thought they didn't like the new brand and that when they got hungry...

I found her on FB. Thanks. There is a pet sitter closer to me called Kelly's Creature Comforts that I may talk to. Their...
I haven't been on here for a couple weeks, just too much going on over the holidays, so am WAY behind! I am wondering if anyone in the Bonney Lake/Lake Tapps general area has ever used a pet-sitting service? We just have the three chickens and the 6 month old cat, but we are going to Hawaii...

It was great to meet you and your girls! Thanks so much for sharing your Eprinex with me! Miss Tulay is just adorable--I would have liked to have rustled her!

What does "dusting" the coop mean? Sorry to be so dumb. Mix it in with shavings? I have an 8 x 10 coop with pine shavings on the floor and a little DE lightly mixed in. Since I only have three birds, I scoop with a litter box scoop every day, so my shavings have not been changed...

Sorry I can't help you with the bug issue as I haven't had to treat my chickens yet and it sounds like you're being challenged from all directions right now! What I can tell you is that a lot of folks who make their own liquors, olive oils, vinegars, etc. come to us at Vino Aquino...

Thank you CGG. That sounds fairly simple. But what about the coop? Do I have to disinfect it and change all the shavings?
No, you don't have to disinfect, just dust with Poultry Dust or Seven. The mites thrive on their hosts, but dusting the coop is probably a good idea too.
What...
Sounds like everyone is packing up for tomorrow. Wish I could be there, but we have a party at dh's boss' home we have to go to. At least I get to get my hair foiled and done for the party, so I guess it's all good.
Today, I got up my nerve and picked up two of my hens--remember I have only...

This made me laugh! There are whole books on how to do this with your kids, one by Jerry Seinfield's wife (forgot the name), and one called The Sneaky Chef. They have great ideas for adding nutrition into kids' food without them knowing about it! I used to put veggies through the food...

Cheryl-sorry you didn't find out the sex of the baby. It is so hard to wait! But what did the doctor say about your heart issues and the problems you have been having? Are you okay?

I have seen and greatly admired the winter shot of your coop before but that recent autumn photo is brilliant! Such a pretty coop - perfect for an urban or suburban setting. May I ask who built it? Do you have any interior photos?
I'd like to see pics of your "Illia" birds too...

Oh man, that stinks! I hope you got a chance to clean up before heading to the ER! Sometimes I'll be walking around somplace and the souls of my shoes don't feel right, so I'll look and find a big-ol' chicken tird and some shavings stuck to the bottom of my shoes, and I've been tracking...
I am not too worried about the roosting because there are only three of them, and one is "differently abled" as my daughter says, like her. She doesn't walk very well and I don't think she is physically capable of roosting. So if the other two roost, that leaves Rosalie alone on the floor. I...
So glad CL's FIL did so well today! Praying that he will continue to heal quickly.
CR, did you get the free coop? Hope you didn't hurt your back!
Broody--hope you get a great offer and everything continues to fall into place.
Question! Friday I found our first egg in the run. No egg...

Thank you. Yes, DS is doing good with it. He knows everything I know. We have been very up front and honest with him from the beginning. He knows that we almost lost him for good, and that we are lucky to have him with us still, and that it's going to be a long road to recovery. DH...
