"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Quote:
It is one of those things we pigeon breeders use , because of that quality . Now you can buy tobacco stems and pay a fortune ,and I'll guarantee you
won't have any bugs in your nest boxes . As far as soft , it as soft as hay in my opinion . My chooks don't mind sitting on it and they mind scattering
it about out of the boxes also . Someone said once ,that a broody hen didn't always go out to use the toilet , and the box could get messy and stinky . When
my Barred Rock was broody she never made a mess . I broke her by putting her in a good size wire carrying pen . Guess I will have to break this one as , there
are no fertile eggs to hatch . I might try to raise the Blue Red's , got a roo in that bunch , but his top thing isn't noticeable yet . The Buffs I raised ; it seemed
that roo's top thingy grew in two weeks . He was an accident . Sold him . The squabs are smaller than a chick when they are born , and the straw doesn't
hurt them . They are about a fourth the size of a newborn chick when they are born . They are so tiny and pink and their little eyes haven't opened yet and I
love to watch the Momma feed them . Nature is beautiful to watch . Especially with our birds .

Can you post some pics of your other kind of birds?? I would love to see them!!

Thanks for the info on de-worming the peas Terri. I will be using the 4cc Valbazen in 1 gallon water today and change out every day.

Thanks again.


ETA: Terri, forgot to ask how many days do they have to drink the medicated water. I usually administer orally to the other animals, so mixing it in the water is new for me.

Thanks

Three days - I mix a fresh batch of water w/the meds in it every day for three days in a row.

So pine straw & pine needles are the same thing, right? I'll have to save what I rake up & try it out. I still have most of a bale of hay to use.

Chilly here this morning too, but at least we don't have to deal with snow on the ground!

I have to go pick up some mothballs at the dollar store to sprinkle in my front hedges; that might encourage the skunklets to move on.

Have a good Sunday everybody!​

Thank you.

So mothballs will do the trick? Good to know.

I hope they Peppe Le Pew doesn't go back.
