I so want to set serama and polish uggggg

do it.....

No I did not know I could make brown sugar out of white sugar with molasses.

Good morning Liz

good morning
To make brown sugar you need one cup of white sugar and one tablespoon of molasses. Mix the two together — this job is faster if you use an electric mixer — until completely incorporated. Use it or store it — it doesn't matter, because you just made brown sugar.

I dont have ducks

soon you will though!

Banti I set some eggs, some are three weeks old so I doubt I will get anything from them, or be able to regulate humidity correct in such a mixed bunch, I put serama and polish in just for giggles

Sally, it doesn't stink, but I'm not liking the purple tail colour or the funky skin around it.... Both of which are new developments.

This whole thing is probably a lost cause... Hey, I can't say I didn't try.

was probably bruises

I have a pair of Crele orpingtons Sara gifted me when I gave her chicks and ducks, anyone ever raise them?
not great images but you get the idea... they are still very young

this is a pic of adult pair-------see Omega http://omegahillsfarm.com/product-category/english-crele-orpington/

that was a bad one

Well, Rocky is no more. After thinkin even harder for a bit I decided it just wasn't worth it.

I'm so glad my neighbour will do this sorta stuff for me....

so sorry, but probably for the best

The creepy thing was that after I took Rocky over to get killed, my other neighbour knocked on my door asking if I knew the owner of a stray white silkie roo.

I knew who it belonged to, thankfully, and he had gotten kicked out coz he was mean to the other roo. But the owner didn't have a pen, so I now have... Another white silkie roo in my basement.

If he didn't have a different comb, it would have been kinda freaky, coz they're nearly identical otherwise.

i thought you were downsizing not getting more? lol

Thanks for the help earlier. I am sorry I was in and out, but I had a very sick doe.
@Sally Sunshine @campingshaws @Chaos18 and any other goat owners.
The goat that got sick about the first of September came down with goat pollio again. If you have not read about goat pollio and Listeriosis I advice you do so. They appear very similar and you should treat for both because if you wait for test results the goat will be dead. This doe both times just seemed a bit off less active/stable last night and was down and unable to get up this morning, thrashing and stargazing. I did not bother checking her temperature since I have seen this before. I immediately gave her B complex with Thiamine. You need to give a big dose. I also gave multi min. If you are unsure which it is treat with penicillin too in case it is Listeriosis. Then give probiotics.
I only had this generic stuff (pictured) since I had used up all the stuff from the vet. She had me give 40cc. The goat is still weak and weaving a bit, but she is up on her own and walking. I am so glad that I had it as I sat there holding her propped up a bit feeling helpless.

PLEASE keep a fortified B complex and/or Thiamine on hand! It can within hours mean life or death!!!!

oh no!

so sorry, i hope she is ok and hopefully didnt abort if she was pregger

OMG, I laughed out loud for a long time on this one. What would sexting a chicken even look like?!

Depending on ceiling height that could be a pain.

could be rain water?

Could be but I would think you would want it just below the gutters if that was the case.

I don't know, but it's nothing more than a cut-down hoop coop from what I can tell.

lol, they are so inexpensive

not

a culvert would be cheaper, or free, if you can catch the state replacing them

 

[DwayneNLiz]

@BantyChooks my broody is due saturday, 2 of her eggs, and 11ish quail eggs

though now that i think about it, there may be less quail eggs under her, i dont remember seeing that many but i try to be very quick when i steal the new eggs out
