I am an angel who did nothing of the sort. You, on the other hand... seem to have that affect on people.

I think I'd be inclined to sit out there in a dark corner, with a bright flash light, camera and my cell phone at the ready and wait. I'm with Robin. Thieves and liars are the very worst.

I agree with Robin and your vet. I would put the bird down. IMO, prolonging suffering for the small possibility of our own emotional benefit just doesn't make sense -- especially from an ethics standpoint. Just because something can be treated with hope of recovery, doesn't necessarily mean...

1 1/2 inch hole saw. Which you can get as just an attachment to the drill you already have. The weather certainly has us thinking about winter, too. Can't say I'm happy. Don't suppose we're going to get payback for how spoiled we were last year, do ya?

American? What kind of issues do you usually have?

Yep. Fetchers, not drivers. They can drive, but it's not instinctual. Pretty neat to see the ones that do both though. Around here his main jobs will be loading -- bring up the rear in chutes and alleys -- moving from one paddock to another, but most are connected with lanes, so same thing...

I've looked over them (mostly because I wanted to make sure we picked a name that didn't rhyme with any), but I'm more of an on-the-fly learner so I figured I wouldn't worry too much about it until we actually get him started. I also figure when we're working here at home -- not trials, etc --...

Oh yeah, he'll be fine. He's just a very young, very enthusiastic, working border collie. Which means when he's working, he's tremendous. And when he's not working, he's looking for work to make up for himself. Because, WORK! WE LOVE WORK! His mind goes absolutely non-stop, which is...

He's a monster! An absolute monster. He's 30ish lbs of excitement every single waking moment of his life, doesn't know where his big clod-hopping feet are 99.9% of the time, wants to chew on anything he can find, thinks counter surfing is a sport, and whole-heartedly believes all people were...

Fuzzy - That's what you get for rushing the season! No Pumpkin pies until Thanksgiving! It's a rule!

Nova -- Sorry, I haven't been paying attention. You have orphan chicks that are how old? And you're thinking of leaving them overnight with a broody who is ... on a nest? has JUST hatched chicks in the nest or eggs?

Where are you headed?

I figured you'd be "in the know". Thanks! I must say though, I think you all have more down there than we do up here. Spoiled much?

You don't have to store it inside. A pallet and a tarp and you're in business with straw. Gosh, I don't have a map handy, and it's admittedly been a while since I've been out to ER, but I'd put money on both Lake O and Williamston being far closer than 70 miles?? I wouldn't think Lake O...

Keyt -- Do you have a stockyard near you? Might check on info for their (usually weekly) auction. You can probably get straw cheaper. As for the railings, I'd leave it dry and chip it off with a shovel.

So glad it's working for you.

Put in what meter? All you need to do at lockdown is increase humidity.

I've hatched a lot of eggs and never had one explode. The only one I've ever had even get stinky was one that had a crack I didn't notice when I set it. I set them, and walk away until lockdown. In fact, I have to put a reminder in my calendar to pop up and remind me to lock 'em down...

Step. Away. From. The Bator. Seriously. I'm convinced people create more hatching heartache with the constant fidgeting than all other failures combined. Chicken was meant set it and forget it, after all.
