➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Mine get buckets like that too. I buy them at the dollar store. I have 3 buckets like that then a 5 gallon bucket with 2 water cups.

We did have a chick fall in a bucket and die, but only happened that once

How about I start a feather donation thread?

There used be someone here that made jewelry including ear rings from feathers. I sent her a bunch of feathers from my Lovebirds.

Tomorrow's a busing day. MRI, Scope down my throat, then Blood transfusion.

I have an insanely sore spot in my spine... The one I've been complaining about and when they touched my spine I flinched really bad so they're worried an infection on or in my spine

Praying the tests are easy and you get the results you need for healing treatment.

Anyone have geese?

I want to get Grey Saddleback Pomeranian Geese and I wantbtwi females. They can't fly, correct? I have Pekins and they can't fly.

I bet she had nightmares last night after her googling episode.

She probably bathed in Lysol my dad was creeped out last night too about the bacteria he's like I don't have it...then he looked it up and was like so you're telling me I have this bacteria and it can kill me I couldn't stop laughing

I fermented my feed for awhile, then just got lazy and gave dry feed. I just kept 3 plastic containers with lids on the kitchen counter and numbered them 1,2,3. I put the feed and water in a container each day. ON the morning of day 4, I gave the chickens the feed in #1 then refilled it and put it at the end of the row. The next day, #2 and so on, just rotating the containers with daily feed- so that it fermented for 3 days before feeding. I can do that with the few chickens I have. They did seem to do better - shiny feathers, less smelly poop, and ate and wasted less. I may dig out the old containers and do it again.

I have 4 five gallon buckets, feed 2 a day.
Works for me

Buckets are like rope. Can never have too much

Or chain

Oh wow! Normally I'm not a fan of feather art, but that is stunning!

Streptococcus viridans

That's the bacteria that I have in my bloodstream

Basically what I have means my whole body is one infection because the bacteria is in the blood stream. So it can travel to anywhere in my body and attach itself.

Brother in law's son had a strep infection that turned into sepsis in his bloodstream and settled in his heart. J had heart surgery two weeks ago to replace two damaged valves in his heart. Dr almost didn't do the surgery because J had damage to his liver three years ago from heavy drinking. He has been sober since...so doctors approved him for surgery. Has been in rehab and now approve to go home.

I have a quad of American Buff. Here’s one of them long ago when there was grass and sun and temperatures above freezing. They all look quite alike—funny birds, pretty, laying lots of eggs now.

That's good that they got to help him out and that he's doing good.

I'm hoping it didn't do anything to my valves because I have idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension so doing surgery on me is way too risky.

I have done the scope yet I'm still waiting

Can they fly? I'm just wondering if I did a 4 ft fence if they'd be fine.
