Kimberly - sorry to hear about your chicken. Hope she is feeling better today. I have not had to deal with that so I have no better advice than what you have been given


CBS- love your website! Great pix and I'm jealous of your setup. I look forward to seeing you add more info to the site as summer progresses and your garden grows. I couldn't see, however, are egg prices listed and is there a way to contact you listed on the site for anyone who may want to buy eggs or veggies? Also, I know you are rightly very careful about using your real name here on BYC, but your website does reveal that info as well as give an indication of your age as you disclose things about school on the blog. Just a heads up on that- not saying you should change it you and your parents are ok with that.

Kim, I'm sorry about the chicken with sour crop-- it was so obvious how much you care for your birds. I did a web search and didn't come up with much... it's a fungal overgrowth, vomiting some fluid up seems to help the bird, but you said your girl won't do that I think? Several references to live-culture yogurt, most of those from the UK. Good luck with her!

Sam, I checked out the website using Firefox, and I think you did a nice job. I do agree with the earlier poster that you should sit down with your folks and decide how much information to put out there. It seems like you are planning to use the site to advertise your produce and eggs, but to do that effectively you have to let people know where to buy them. Unless you have an off-site farm stand, that means telling where you live. You are clearly level-headed and capable, and I don't mean to treat you like a child, but if you are still a minor this is a decision you need to make with your parents. Good luck!

Yea, I would really like to put our location up, but thats too much info!!!! Plus, ya I'm gonna delete the blog, since it's too hard to update it!!!!!
