Do you run hardware cloth up top in your eves/rafters for pred prevention?

Good morning! We got one more silkie! No pips on the rest... What should I do?



"Lazarus", the Biel I saved from cracked shell, then goop, then the others, is not super good at walking. She stumbles and sits...it's like she doesn't have the strength to stand very long. She's not spraddle, maybe pigeon toed, at best...

Congrats!!!! and you were so worried!!!!

Yes I will shoot some in there this morning. It's only an 1.5" gap but but with the ponds and our creek that is 100 yds behind the house, we get a few mink coming a stray.

Yes I was worried about a bad gene. Looks like just a cross.

100 posts behind since midnight, but I'm on the way.

No crap I skipped 4 pages

Some people shouldn't attempt certain hobbies.


There's a bar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming that is known for their saddle bar stools - among other things.

I quit coffee cold turkey a couple years ago during a spell when I had a relentless cough and decided to make some healthy changes.
I only drink green or white tea now, sometimes with jasmine, ginseng or goji and always with a squeeze of lime.

I guess you already know this but some may not. Most incubator thermostats supply power to heat element in either an on or off state. Hence the rapid rise and more gentle fall. Then one has to consider how quickly their thermometers measure. Instant read thermometers will pick up those periods yet internal egg temperature will be at the low end of the range.

But this valentine's day is the start of the second half of The Walking Dead season.    

For those unfamiliar and have AMC on their TV access, the premier episode of the first season (followed by all the other episodes) starts in 10 minutes. 9AM eastern, 10 central.

@casportpony

I read your post about liking to medicate. I know everyone has different management techniques and perhaps more importantly, different climates. But I don't get why you LIKE to medicate. I like not needing to medicate.
