Thank you SO MUCH ML!! I am so relieved!! A thousand thank you's!!

LD - what does treating water with fourth vinegar mean?? I put 1 Tbsp of AC Vinegar in their 7gal jugs to keep the mold/mildew from growing and I wash/disinfect the waterers weekly. Is that what you're referring to??

Looks normal to me... I see some STRANGE looking poop around here

It could be a little loose since there food has changed.

Sissy Allison here Em - Yikes - I would have freaked. I had a frog get in my house one night while Gavin was still at work- I was scared to death , took my big brave German Shepherds and Pugs into the bedroom and closed the door until the man got home.

I don't do creepy crawly critters - hamsters , rats , lizards keep them - I will stick with my furry friends

( and put up with the Gavin's chicken addiction ) OK I like the silkies

they are really fur babies - and OK the others are sweet too..... good day

I literally only have three fears. And they're all ridiculous.

Only on BYC do we talk about poop and how it changes.

I am a poop watcher and it's the best way to tell if someting is wrong. Good of you to check it out Ruthann. Just got through treating all my adult birds with Epernix tomorrow night the youngins.

Thanks again for the support everyone!!

Beth - I FINALLY won your--err my girls over...all it took was a little baked squashed!! DD had some leftover squash that she didn't want and so I thought why let it go to waste!!

Would you believe my snobs wouldn't touch it until after the girls devoured most of it....then they were like OH I have to have some!!

ML - thank you...only on BYC would someone tell me that it's good to watch poo!!

I bookmarked the poop page though, so hopefully I won't have to ask should there ever be a need...then again...I might just have to post another photo!!

G&A: There are only 2 things that scare me to bits: Spiders (any and all) and dogs...both are irrational fears, and ridiculous but alas I cannot shed it...so I completely understand!! I run/hide from all spiders and/or make DH kill them (or in the case of our resident blk widow...TRY to kill her.

)

It's great to know I'm not alone in my fear of spiders!!

Have a great evening everyone

Evening all, thought I would share a few pics of my cute EE cockerels that are going to be looking for new homes.

I also put a nice list of birds up on the 8 week & older thread in case anyone is looking for something particular.

I know this isn't chicken related, and a real long shot, but does anyone know of anyone who may have a place to rent NW to South of the Charlotte area. Doesn't have to allow chickens. (

I know, lol) But does have to allow pets. I am NOT giving up my 18 & 14 year cats for noboby!! Doesn't have to be a house, a trailer will do, or maybe a quiet apartment. There is just my husband, my 8 furkids, an me. Don't drink, don't smoke, we are pretty boring actually, lol. My husband works in South Charlotte, just above the SC state line. I'm on disability.

3 years of chemo and battling Breast Cancer is costing us our home.

Please PM me if you know of someone. Thanks!!!

Dogs were my biggest fear years ago

- then I bought my first puppy

- she was a 6 week old German Shepherd Dog ( Delta ) she was my baby Xdh and I raised her and she was the smartest dog ever - but she was very much a protection dog naturally - of course she was my baby and I was never scared of her , but others were of course she was huge 140 pounds. For some reason having " the mean dog " made me less fearful of other dogs. On another note please know I am a very responable dog owner , my dogs have always been in doors and never outside without me ... I never was blessed with children so that was never a problem , but I will admit all my dogs have been natural kid lovers even Delta. There is not much difference between a mean dog and a loaded gun .

I have had 4 German Shepherds - Delta who died at 12 years old. George died at 14 and truly my dog soul mate I will never get over the loss and he also was overly protective. Now I have Stewie and Lilly both very different and sweet natured pups - although I think Stewie could open a can of woop a$$ if he needed to , he is such a Mommys boy. I do love the chickens but dogs are my thing .


Good Day Peeps
