I'm sharing my giggle of the day http://www.northcoastgardening.com/2009/01/backyard-chickens/

That is a gal after my own heart!

Chicken training, indeed! I had my rooster trained to hop up, and my hen.......I've been working on these ones, haven't had enough time to do it right though.

I added this useful link to the worming and lice/mites section, sorry i haven't been working on my notes lately! Soon my hours will drop and i will be able to finish that section! This outlines each type of worm and whatnot, tells what med in particular has been used successfully to treat.

I actually finally found out what louse i'm dealing with here, it's the shaft louse! Not that it makes a huge difference, but i like to know my enemy

Good info fuzzy! I think I had a Campine roo with shaft lice around August. Or head lice..... He had so many eggs on the back of his neck.........I smothered them in Sevin and vaseline and the adult lice were gone within hours, and the eggs never hatched. They turned black within a few days, then the feathers with eggs on them turned black, then they all fell out one day. He still hasn't grown them back but he acts way more energetic than he used to. I can't believe how long it took me to notice......I just thought he was laid back.......but no one else except my Faverolle was affected. Soooooooooooooooo, yeah, I dunno.

Silver glad to hear things are OK there. Hoping you have pips soon, but as everyone here says walk away from the bator! Eaiser said than done, right?
Glad wind is going down. Downed tree = firewood. I can see one tree down in the front of my woods, I'm not going back to look for more until the wind you are sending our way is gone.

MsB do you have one of those coal miner head lamps? It might make it easier to look down his throat and free up your hands

I just realized Nova has been MIA today hope she is OK

no pips yet but im managing not to open it anymore .. had to increase temp a little cause watching that close and humidity is now perfect ....

yep that tree will make good firewood dad is just waiting to get a new blade ...got one down and one that is halfway down but will be down when dad gets thru .. its half out of the ground ..the other is most of the way .... the main one barely missed my coop and run ...




roots of downed tree that board/post there is the corner of my bigger coop and run combo

this is the other one that is halfway out of the ground with the downed one leaning on it

Cat scan for Kayla showed a cyst in her right temporal lobe- since 2007. Nobody told me until by accident on October 14th. She had an MRI on Saturday, October 27th- report says: MRI NORMAL. Miracle? Praise God? OR W T Heck? Someone needs to explain stuff to me, and soon. I am beyond blown away and angry- just dont know who I am supposed to be angry at. AND- did it burst? Is this why she has had a chronic severe headache? OR Does someone just not know what they are doing?
