She managed but was in small debt and her bills were always late. I thought she was just having a hard time being on her own.

Being together that long makes you start to take the other person for granted. It has probably happened with both of you and neither one of you sees it. You stated that you couldn't get a sitter so I take it you have children that are young enough that you can't leave them home alone. You need...

When I had Rhode Island reds I lost many during the daylight hours when they were free ranging. Seemed to happen all of the time. I got rid of the RIR's that I had left and purchased brown leghorns. I have had these chickens for almost 2 years and they free range every day and I have yet to lose...

First I want to thank everyone that replied. I will take many of your suggestions. I would love to work this out. I don't know that teaching him about money would do any good. He knows about money. He is just a mooch and user and seems proud to be one. He told me that growing up when he wanted...

My wife has a son who is 22 years old and in college. He lives off campus at school and is not at home much.My wife talks about her son all of the time like he is 8 yrs old. There is not a day goes by that she does not say something about her "little boy". At Christmas time when shopping she...

I am sending prayers also for I too know first hand how cancer destroys. I have been in that fight for 3 years now. I was stricken at age 44 and it has really changed how I view life.

Quote: If you have the heaters and like them, by all means use them. I am just pointing out some specifics about electric heating so that people that are interested in the eden pure heaters can make an informed decision. Here is a link about electric heaters...

A 1500 watt heater will deliver 5100 BTU’s of heat per hour no matter if it comes from a 20 dollar walmart heater or a 300 dollar heater made in an Amish barn. All electric heaters have essentially the same efficiency at converting electric energy to heat energy. If the heater does not indicate...

Quote: If he isn't already getting a return on his money, He is expecting one. Nobody does all of that just to be friends. Friends with benefits maybe.

Quote: That does not work either. Wives do exactly the same thing. Mine was in charge of the books and ran up $30,000 in CC debt and decided to walk away from 2 kids and 21yrs of marriage. So it is not just a man thing. I learned a lesson on keeping my nose in the financial books.

It sounds like something more than just bloat. (appendix, gall bladder, ulcer etc.) Have you seen a doctor for this pain?

I have seen them freeze to death and fall out of the trees because they refused to go into the coop. I will give mine a place to stay, I just hope they use it.

In western Pa milk is $3.99 and we usually go through 4 or 5 gallons a week.

Last night I shot one of my hens because she seemed unstable and her comb was a purple color not red like it should be. She was an older chicken (6yrs). Any ideas on what could have been wrong with her? I thought she was having heart and circulation issues.

I have a silkie that is 2months old and she is very tiny when compared to other silkies of the same age. I noticed her last night kind of wobbly almost like she was drunk. She does not walk around much and she has some poop on her back end. Any ideas of what could be wrong? And any treatments?

Well the I'm cute flying lessons have paid off. All of the guineas can now fly up on top of the six foot fence and usually on the first try. Boy they are ugly birds, but I don't tell them that.

How about this poor guy. OUCH!!

Quote: They do fly, but they can't get more than about 4ft high. I don't think the wings are clipped, and I bought them as keets from a feed store. I will work with them (flying lessons, telling them they are cute). Also, there are no older birds to show them the ropes.

If these aren't guineas then I have been ripped off. I have watched them at dark try to fly up to a roost but they never make it and flutter back to the ground. Maybe they wait to long and it gets too dark for them to judge the distance. I don't know. I have always heard how good they can fly...

My guineas CAN'T FLY and I wish they could. Mine are 9 weeks old and they have been food for the predators the last 2 nights. I have lost 4 of them and only have 6 left. I watch them try to fly to the roost but they can't even get 5ft off of the ground so they end up sleeping on the ground and...
