If you are interested in some rescue cats as hunters you may want to check out Another Chance rescue in Palo Cedro. They usually have tons of cats/kittens with very low adoption fees or even free adoptions specials at times. Their cats come spayed/fixed or will be when older for free and have at least their first vaccinations, wormed, flea treatment and tested for common diseases. I got my last two kittens from them (one of my kittens was rescued from a dumpster!). Like most rescues they would prefer to have the cats allowed indoors. But, I think they will still adopt out cats as "barn cats" as long as you agree to provide shelter, food and other basic care. I found that some humane societies will refuse to let you adopt if you even allow the cats to go outside.

When my kids are just a little older, I want to foster a pregnant cat from them and then adopt the momma and maybe a kitten or two from the litter.

PS My sister has a broodie hen and is looking for some hatching eggs from some "fancy eggs" for her to sit on. Neat egg colors or even just good egg layers. She's kind of leaning towards breeds like Marans, Welsummers, green/blue egg layers etc. Just for a "back yard" flock so a mix of breeds would be fine. Thanks

Thank you ill call them to see what they have available!

hello everyone!


Monster, I know you would be taking care of the cats! I would never have recomended Laurie otherwise, shes hyper. ( not in a bad way)   Its one of those things you just want to say immediatly ( barn cats! food water and love provided  but i'm allergic) so they don't blow you off.  There is a certian way to approach rescues so you don't have a hassle.  They see so much they are jaded, I think. And the cats that fit what you want are so terribly hard to place  it will be wonderful to find them homes. The people who take care of colonies   do such a tough job emotionally they are always so happy to find  a place for the special ones.

Well I'd be more than happy to take in a few of them!

apologies for the duplicate posting to those on the all state California thread, but I just noticed that mycutekitties started a Paso Robles thread a few weeks ago - let's use that as a "what are you bringing to the show" thread for those who are interested in bringing birds to sell. I went ahead and posted the birds that I am planning to bring, and am interested in seeing what others are bringing! You know, sell one, buy two, never go home with an empty cage, etc etc.

Here is the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...show-october-5-7-2012-whos-going#post_9702208

I went to Google Maps(see not an iphone of course...) and got directions. From Woodland it is a 265 mile drive and would take me 4 hours and 29 minutes in current traffic.

It'a a bit far for me LOL.

Thanks for the link!

Hey Ron - since you are also a baking guru, I thought you would love these rolls. I made them last night and got rave reviews. No butter needed for these rolls, there's enough butter in the dough to sink a battleship. But they are oh so worth the extra calories.

I took some pictures of the TJ chicks I hatched that have been keeping my Basque chick company. The Basque is going to have a very pretty pattern. She is kind of ugly now.

I think one of the TJs chicks is a pullet and the other is a boy. One has a tail and the other is just starting to get one. The one with the short tail is wider and has a larger comb already.

I might keep the pullet if she is one. I only have one white egg layer at present.

I see a bunch of feathers too--someone must be molting....

They are so cute. Love that pattern emerging on your Basque!

Thank you!

My Family has a Roll recipe called Thanks Giving Rolls. I like to make trinity rolls, where you make three little balls for each muffin hole in the muffin pan. My Mom likes the Crescent rolls so I make a sheet of those to. The recipe is huge and the dough does not fit in my 5.5 qt kitchenaid mixer, so I kneed it all by hand.

Your recipe for Crescent rolls looks like a sane amount of dough. I will probably try it this weekend. I also want to try a recipe called never ending rolls. You mix the dough and leave it in the fridge. Each night you cook just the amount you need. It is supposed to keep in the fridge for a week like that.

Good Morning All!

More pictures of EO Marraduna Basque. These are 2 of my 3 pullets:

Ron I love that color pattern.
I will try and get some pic's of my Mille Fluer pattern Penedesenca this weekend. She is going to be a looker. Real eye candy

I bought this medication today for my chicks with the red puffy eyes. It's called duramycin-10. Has anyone had any experience with this product? I told this guy at TSC about my chicks and starting yonder tiny bubbles in their eyes and them being red. I asked him about the Tylan-50 first. He Said its pretty strong and he recommends the duramycin-10. He was a older guy, he said he has about 60 chickens himself and has used the Duramycin. So of course I'm going to cross check with you guys.

I ... am doing little happy dance! My last two chickens have been saved from the cooking pot! We're moving back to Dunsmuir for the winter and I have no place to keep my chickens down there, so I was expecting to have to butcher them in a week or two. My cousin came up a few days ago and said he'd take them in for the winter, since it was just the two. So sweet! I'm sure his little girl will have a blast collecting the eggs from my hen since she's an EE. Just thought I'd share the good news!

That's great news, especially since they're bear survivors.

After Chiquita's experience, an antibiotic would be a good thing to try now.

Let us know how it works!

It sounds like your guys are fighting it off so hopefully you won't have to force liquids and mashed food too.

Hi Monsterclucker,

Have you noticed any improvement with your sick chickens with the anti biotic!
