Good deal on the sales. Sorry it's been such a hard year. I lost my 15 year old cat last night to renal failure so I know it's tough. I finally am getting a few eggs. Got a couple of auctions going on Ebay for goose eggs that have bids so maybe I can make a small dent in our feed bill.

Thought I would post the link to the new 24 hour auction if you had not already seen it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/754060/the-new-crazy-24hr-auction-only-thread/170#post_10749855 Congrats on the grand daughter and the baby goats.

Deb I don't know much about goats. When we have calves that bloat we use Therabloat. We mix it with water and feed as a drench. It works really well on the calves and cows for that matter. We were told by the vet that in a pinch mix a few drops dish washing soap with water and use as a...

Sorry Deb for all the problems. My heart hurts for you. Originally Posted by Fyremare I am sooo glad nothing worse happened! Please consider switching over to something like this... http://www.brinsea.com/prod-EcoGlow_Chick_Brooder-239.aspx if it would work for you. I have no financial...

They circle around the snake and then take their turns running in a pecking it until it high tails it or they kill it.

NO WAY in a million years would I have picked up a snake and removed a egg. That snake would have been a dead snake and it could keep that egg. I would have to give it to the guineas. I really do not like snakes.

I agree with doubletraining. If you send more eggs you will be out more in postage and I doubt you will get paid. You put the ball back in their court anyway and asked for pictures of the damaged eggs and shipping box and I don't think you will get pictures either.

Shelly Glad your Romeo showed up. The story gave me a little chuckle. Thanks.

Glad to hear your husband is doing better. Seems to me you both could use a little slowing down and relaxing. If I remember correctly, you have a few health problems also. Both of you take care.

We have questioned the neighbor in the past but he has always said that the fence lines are pretty close. Well, I guess that depends on who is getting the benefit which has been him all these years. He is not fighting any of this and agreed to pay for half the cost of the survey. The funny...

After living on the ranch for 16 years, we decided we better have the land surveyed since we never thought the fence lines were on the property lines. We only have up the 17 year by Colorado law to dispute. We got the results today and what a shock. Our north fence is 288 feet off and run...

Shelly So sorry about your sweet Bear.

Darn, sorry Deb about the Polish. Just when you think you are getting somewhere with a certain breed then POW two steps back. I had a couple come by tonight and bought the entire Americana flock. For the first time in a long time I have a couple of empty coops.

I have Black & Blue AM from The Fancy Chick. I purchased chicks last summer for their pretty egg color. I almost got some Lavender AM but now I am glad I didn't. I like the thought of the Cream Legbar as they are suppose to be really great layer and I can sex them at hatch. They also lay a...

Sorry, about the EE rooster Deb. Nasty little fox. I battle the owls and coyotes here. I understand about cutting back also. I am having to make the same decisions here. I have decided to let my Welsummers and Americanas go. I got them for pretty egg shades but with feed prices so high I...

Nice going Deb

I hear you Deb about thinning down the breeds. I am taking a close look at my breeds and determining which to keep and which to let go. I have already decided to consolidate my American BBS Orpingtons and my English Blood BBS Orpingtons which I have in separate pens now. I will be putting...

My free loaders are finally starting to lay again. I got a BLRW egg, Barnevelder egg, several Lavender Orpington eggs today. These are all from my breeding pens. My free range birds never stopped laying so I have plenty of eating eggs. Why do you think that is? Maybe the birds just trying...

Shelly, glad the little guy is doing okay. Deb We got a free 10x12 Morgan wood frame shed a couple of months ago. I work with a guy that had to place his father in an assisted living home and when he sold the house the people didn't want the shed so I asked if I could have it. My husband...

I am with Shelly. Deb inspires me then makes me think my gosh did I do enough today. We finally got our last two updated coops completed yesterday so I spent today separating birds so I can get purebreed eggs again. Now all I have to do is get them to start laying again. I really don't like...
