I found two pistons the size of mop buckets at the scrap yard. I will use one for the base of a lamp I am building for a friend.

you know we will need pics of the lamp.....

What's wrong with this picture? (hint: it is supposed to be december, right? in Minnesota?)


Aussiegal, sorry you have the flu, and Minniechickmama, I am so sorry your husband is thinking of trying to fix the vacumn cleaner cord.

I am getting a little worried about Goldie. She isn't really eating. The only thing I can get her to eat is apple. And cut up clover/dandelion/grass. She does go to town on the apple, eats right down to the peel. But she needs protein, right? Wont eat raw, hardboiled or scrambled egg. No canned cat food and not tuna either. Not turkey. Not chicken feed and not chicken scratch. Not yogurt. Geesh.

Only 19 days til xmas.

@KlopKlop I would probably try putting her out with the other girls directly. When they start feeling better and eating, they may slow down eating or quit if they are lonely. When you put her out there just watch and see if she starts eating and such. you don't want her away from the others too long...

I think I'd try some live meal worms (or wax worms) or raw hamburger...

Also Lala, try putting a mirror in her pen with her, she also could be lonely...

Good Morning!!!

morning all
Cluckies, I think I will hit the bait shop and get some meal worms, and maybe move her to the coop on Wed. She might do better with company.

Happy Monday, everyone. May your work week be fast and painless!

Morning all - had a painless commute this morning

Our dog disappeared for about six hours yesterday. Normally I let her out before I leave for work and she goes back to sleep with my daughter.

This time she didn't but I wasn't too worried.

In the afternoon I received a can from a number in Scandia, they had my dog but my mom picked her up.

She not been the same since. Not overtly injured but very timid. Normally greets me at the door when I get home but didn't even get up.
I think she got lost and ran around for hours until the man on the other side of the lake took her in and called us.
This morning she would not go outside, I had to put her on a leash and take her for a walk.

RIP Kathy,,, noticed last night their was only 7 on roost when I locked up but figured there must be 1 snuggled in the middle. This morning I counted and only 7 .. I found a pile of feathers nothing but feathers no blood no bones . The boy next door came out of his house and said I seen that hawk that got your bird sorry about that but it was kinda cool... REALLY.... He could have tried to help her or come and get me.. I'm sure it would have been to late but I feel bad for her.. Now I have the rest locked in the run. And I have to watch my dogs because they are all smaller then the chickens...

@Coffee, how awful! ( and that neighbor boy is a toad!)
I thought you lived in a more urban setting, was I wrong? Not that it would preclude a hawk attack.

*sad*

Oh no! I am sorry for your loss, Coffee! I think you have had your fair share of chicken stress lately.

It is too bad the neighbor didn't inform you when it was happening, but maybe he was scared to take on the hawk. lol
