Grand Rapids is going to review the backyard hen ordinance this and next month.  Word is it might be a more favorable outcome than last time.  :cd

No roosters though i presume? Can you have roos in rockford?

Been there too. I was working as an apprentice in a sewing factory. my job was cutting out giant stocking patterns. I made the mistake of holding the material just right between my fingers and sliced right clean through the webbing of my thumb/index finger about 1/2' long. I could see blue and red. Ick. Yes, I passed out, when I woke up it was bandaged and I was sent home for the day. Nothing was ever said again. I was 17. It healed I don't remember getting stitches and today there is really no scar.

I did the same thing cutting leather. I had special shears that I used just for leather and they did a fine job on my hand.
Then at another shop I cut the end of my finger off with an electric stack-cutter.
Never sewed my fingers together like a co-worker did.

hens that mother together are awesome, then there is the mother (old Brahama) that doesn't seem to know what to do with her chick, I took them away last night,after she left them out in the rain I put them under the double mammas they seemed to do OK last night but chased the chicks away this AM now they are in a cage by themselve with a heat lamp

may try to move them under a mamma again tonight

Needless to say I didn't keep my job very long. I was a liability. LOL
Holy cow, I have never used one of those. I think I'll pass.

Thanks for asking. It seems to be fine for now, but everyone has told me to watch for a probable infection. I had a nurse friend look at it and she says it probably needed a stitch but to skip the whole stitch thing next time to get steri strips and keep it covered.

P.S. the cat's new name is Ginsu.

DH de-gloved his hand once upon a time....


I darn near cut my pinky off with a crisco lid (metal insert) sticking my hand in the trash can to push stuff down... Went half way around the base of my pinky to the bone. I just used steri strips to keep it together. But a cut by a cat can be pretty nasty.. keep a good eye on it!

The pheasants are quite lovely!! I don't know anyone off hand that sells in the area.
