I would never eat Wasabi!

I like the green tea ones, though. Same vibrant shade of green, hmmm.

He was helping you wash dishes...so sweet.

This reminds me of something I saw posted on another thread.

Lindi has now had 42mL of water total.
Anybody got an idea on why she goes limp like a wet noodle immediately after tubing? I am not inserting the tube down the Trachea.

Please tell me you have an air conditioner.
I would die.

Just a tiny window one. It’s not that hot, 22c I think, just stupid humid. I got the indoor humidity down to 50 today. I think it’s 70 % outside...

(Headsup: possible dumb question ahead.) I just noticed some rust spots in the water dish part of my metal waterer. Isn't this unsafe for the chickens? And if so is there a safe fix for this or do I just replace it?

It's a scorcher today. So Libby and I didn't go for a walk, way too hot and plus the pavement would burn her paws anyway. So just played in the yard. Let her out to run around and potty and stuff, kinda do her own thing, for a while, she entertains herself sometimes, chewing or running around with sticks, digging in one allowed dirt spot, etc. And then we did use the flirt pole some too and she's very in tune with her body unlike lots of dogs. Stops playing and/or lays down when she's hot and today she even ran to the door on her own.

I love these floors!

Oh the joys of having six laying hens and only getting one egg.

Are your birds molting right now too?

 

[Kiki]

Increase daily water to 40 ml or more.

How much would be considered too much?

 

[Kiki]

All of those and the syringes have been purchased.

Until everything I need arrives I will continue to tube just water and try to keep using ND

Why just water and not feed too?

Oh ok...I assumed it was hot out too.
