Sorry, MJ, didn't mean to side-track your thread. I am very enthusiastic about hemp - but was replying to @Mother of Chaos on their USA hemp sourcing.
Yes me too, but it still works out a better price than US$25 for 8 lbs. - reason I replied. You would pay US$93.75 for 30 lbs of that brand vs...
@MaryJanet if you're interested in hemp, look for somewhere that sells it in bales.
It has qualities that work great in nestboxes - it packs firmly and shapes nicely into a bowl. Better if the underlying box material isn't slippery but it still works, you just make it deep. In my plastic coop I...
I was very taken with her from the first! ❤️ Her beautiful shape was very matronly and I loved her big dark eyes. Rest in peace, Mary. Hugs for you all :hugs
I've been pondering this beautiful picture. Because of the foliage she is like a perching peacock or that type of long-tailed chicken - a Phoenix is it? ❤️
I like @ManueB 's idea of a cage which you add privacy screens and a roof but lets you see them easily during the day. A Go would be fine for brooding if you remove the roost platform for them and fill the tray with chips or chopped hemp or straw. Or completely cover the roost platform. When I...
Water pooling in the mid-point is strange, for a builder to not see that, even eyeballing it an experienced builder can see when something is straight and level or not. It's possible the builder tightened the polycarbonate roofing screws too much there, or the support itself is lower there and...
I'm sorry Lorna just couldn't make it. Your efforts to help her, and then to help her not suffer longer, were compassionate and thoughtful. :hugs I've been following along...What everyone has said sounds so very true and right. You did as much as anyone could do and it may not even have been a...
Party in the bathroom, c'mon, girls, spa day!
Was that to keep everyone, maybe mostly Mary, calm? And she was fine to have everyone leave without her? Did they want to stay with her?
Almost every day, because it's not a big bowl and needs refilling anyway. I rub my fingers around inside with the old water, rinse with a bit from the refill bottle, and fill it (tap water).
In the picture of @Marie2020 's Amber in the sink, is that what you noticed? It really stood out to me, even in bright light I've never noticed an eye looking like that. I wondered what could cause that, the pupil is extremely tiny.
I'm busy now and this weekend, won't be on much, that is a next week project if I do anything at all.
I finally again found at the bottom of the main web page a FAQs that has a question on POW submissions...
Tax here too?
Peanut getting groomed around her beak, first by everyone all at once, then they left but Popcorn stayed at it and I got a picture. She had had something big and yummy and after a successful keep away chase she ate most of it, but there were obviously remnants to be had. She stood...
