I love you Kathy!

You can tell so much by looking at poop. DH thinks I'm nuts for getting into the way I do.

I am off, gonna try a nappy and see if it works after I fold the fourth load of wash today. Do kids ever stop throwing clean stuff in the dirty wash!! I am gonna start giving it back to them after its been in with the stinky stuff for a week!!! HarmonyAnn is such a brat! she tries on ten shirts in the morning and then the others head into the wash! She is lucky she is so smart or I would beat her for sure! see how smart she is

be back later to run a readback and update those links.... sure no one wants to reorganize them??? or have a shot at it anyways? copy paste is our best friend!

When my kids played that game. I went on strike. Took them down stairs, showed them the washer and dryer. What buttons to push, how much soap to use. Done.

Sally, forget pictures of the mess the ducks made in my basement, Duckling made a mess in my bathroom! Potty training has begun! I have never had this much trouble potty training boys!
First, she does the "I'm pooping" squat. I check her diaper, and it is still empty. Remove the diaper, a poop falls to the floor. She sits on the toilet (I can't find a potty chair I like that is in stock) and tinkles. I tell her how awesome she is, and wait another minute for the BM. It doesn't come (she has constipation issues) so I wipe her, and put her on the floor. I clean up the poop on the floor, and turn to see a big pile behind Duckling... And it is getting bigger. Unfortunately, she was done, and sitting her back on the toilet produced nothing more. She had also peed while standing there.
Okay, so now I know how Duckling rolls. I will settle on a different potty, and really get this potty party started!

Had to take diaper away from GS when I knew #2 was imminent. Used a long baby gate to lock him into the kitchen with me and potty. He kept asking for a diaper. "Sorry, they're all gone!" First poo on the floor scared the daylights out of him b/c he thought a bug had fallen out of his .... After that... no more issues.

Alright everyone I have some more questions. One of my green egg chicks has a deformed foot. It was the chick that took FOREVER to get out. The foot will not lay flat and looks a little twisted? He holds his leg funny, but can scoot around the brooder when he wants to. Thriving other than that, and takes a lot of rests. Advice? Anything I can do? Will the chick be ok?



Also, in good news I heard a peep from my two lockdown eggs today!

You can make a bootie for the foot. Don't know if that will fix the leg problem. Of course, you could cull.

what about humidity saris?  and good afternoon!! 

Kicking myself, I didn't pay attention. Won't happen again.

Side note is the permethrin concentrate safe for people once diluted down?

Side side note my 2 blue Ameruacanas from Eden Camp shipped today! I am so excited I could just die. The girl is split for silkie and the boy is split for chocolate and probably split for silkie.

Make a boot and hobble, maybe. Not certain, possible slipped tendon? Does it seem swollen?

No Its notswollen he's always walked funny if just somehow missed his funny foot. I don't think it's the leg.

can make a bootie for the foot. Don't know if that will fix the leg problem. Of course, you could cull.

As long as he seems happy I won't cull. The foot is STIFF. Like I couldn't make it flat even when I tried. I think it would break if . Forced it!

Hey just wanted to check something, chickens and turkeys can eat bananas right? My mom is getting a ton of cheap banana's through this co-op thing but we thought we might give a bunch to the chickens. Pretty sure it will be alright I've just never given bananas to the chickens.

Note that I'm not saying that's what your chick has, just wanted to share all the leg link I know of.
