You could knit them little sweaters.

lol CURRENTLY the farm animals are STD free not so sure about my renter's

LOL - you mean you don't screen at check in??

yep part is everyone is in a different time zone and maybe school starting and fall/end of gardening season

Yes - by the time I am able to sit down and check in in the morning it's nearly/after noon for a lot of you all -- and then when I get done with dinner and evening stuff and sit down everyone is already in bed.........

I don't know how good parents do it. I just spent two hours helping Michael figure out three precalc. Problems. My brain is fried.... Ohhh my goodness. This is the first week and it's just warm up... How am I gonna beable to keep up to help?

There are tons of online tutorials. Kahn Academy is supposed to be good and the one that CB is using (can't remember the name). You can google the problem, and usually you can find a solution.

That hen with the scarf could be Prostar's Sparkles. I can see her demanding trips to Walmart to get a tiara or some jewelry or something!

Well, I identified one place I won't be getting chicks from when the time comes.....there's a little mom & pop type pet store in the next town over, the kind of place I really like to try to support, and they have a late order of chicks in right now. Well, I was there today looking for some food for the cat and dog and noticed they hadn't sold all the chicks yet (we were also there the day they came in which was a week or two ago) so I went over to torture myself looking at them and noticed this time they were actually labeled -- they want $8/bird for straight run and $12/bird for sexed pullet chicks........

These are regular old, run-of-the-mill hatchery stock birds of standard breeds!
Anyway, in other news, I have also found at least two alternative stores that are actual farm stores and sell their chicks at realistic prices.........

Update on the "new" additions to Porter's harem,

His vet talked to ND state vet and all they have to do is "normal health check" and then test his bull for trich (which I have no idea what that is)

So at this moment were are scheduled to pick them up Oct 1.

Probably Trichinosis... roundworms... people can get it.
