Cool!  I have 2 boys and they'll be all over that!  Part of their "potty training" was on the tires of my brother's "sweet ride," several years ago.  Wait until I tell them that I need their help keeping the fox away!

What a great idea! My dogs pee all around my flock's fencing - maybe that's why we don't seem to have any unwanted visitors? Good thinking

Its an old standby to pee in a gopher's holes to send them off and its been proven here.

Its been a rough week here with all the vomiting. The bator isn't built up and I am depressed about it, ready to give up maybe. Too many things conspire against me this year. I will have to enjoy everyone else's pictures.

Ugh. Sorry to hear about the vomiting. Don't give up yet. Things get better after February.

Ashandvine-hope you feel better! I work at a nursing home on Saturdays and my boss just called me to warn me that the Norovirus is making a run through there.

Hang in there-it's going to get better!

What an awesome idea. I'm sure that if I was a gopher, that'd send me packing. Gopher means different things to different people. Are you referring to the same critter as a ground hog? During corn season, I won't allow any male to pee in my house. I'm so sorry your family has been sick. I think this winter has been brutal as far as illness goes.

Ashandvine, when my family had a "GI bug", I found "Tension Tamer" (Celestial Seaons tea) really useful. The children liked it and it seems to sit well on the stomach when nausea is present and is better for hydration than gingerale (without all the chemicals), it has a lot of ginger in it (which is good for nausea). I'd put in some honey and lemon juice to taste.

Can someone explain just what is tested with the NPIP? Is there anyone in the Ellsworth area that does testing? I want to do some hatching this Spring and want to make sure that the chicks won't be exposed to anything.

here is the list of state testers

it's fairly recent but I don't think it includes all the new testers but maybe clover farm can verify that.
