Hello everyone! DH found a couple of copies of A Memory of Light ( Robert Jordans last Wheel Of Time book) put out early, so we have spent the last day reading. 900 pages, finished about an hour ago. SO I'm late posting! But I started that series in.. 1989?? I think? and have been not so patiently waiting for an end, so I think its safe to say it was a prior engagement! ( I even once offered to edit for him, Harriet laughed and laughed at that one!)

You read it in one day!

Did you sleep? LOL I am not so excited for the end, as I just didn't think the last few books were nearly as good as the first part of the series. Maybe I was just to impatient, because there was so much going on, you really didn't get to read much about any one character. What did you think of the last one?

A couple of my chicks have chicken poo stuck to their butts. Any suggestions on best way to clean without ripping off their fluff?

We use baby wipes. disposable and moist. the pasty butt seem to go away really fast with them too

Congrats to the winners!!

Baby wipes is a good idea

Make sure you are only removing poo! It is a bit too hard to get off, make sure you are not pulling part of the vent out.
I just make sure the vent is open. Also, give them yogurt, scrambled egg and or chick grit. Pasty butt means they need to get their digestion fired up!

A long time ago I was able to read books that fast. Actually, I still am a fairly fast reader--how else could I do those digests each day?

With work, household, chickens and children I just can't get the time to read those books that quickly any more. Ok Angry Birds keeps coming out with new versions too.... It will take me a week or two to read 900 pages...

Branden Sanderson is an amazing Author! It is on my list to read more of his books. I almost bought a trilogy of his for my Nook today.

Hey everyone, I'm hoping you can help me faster than searching the internet. I've been looking, but haven't found the right search words yet. My little pasty butt serama chick isn't so pasty anymore, but I just noticed a hard knot in his belly near and to the side of his belly button. I'm "force" feeding him sugar water with a dropper and massaging his belly. Is this all I can do? Help would really be appreciated. Thanks so much!

The pasty butt is the thing to worry about. The thing on the belly is where the yolk was absorbed. That usually goes away. If it looks infected then put Triple antibiotic without pain killer on it.
