Amy, so glad your girls is better after her nice bath........

Tricia, are you raising GM chickens, I saw your monster at Winston and was big then.....

So, I thought that the stress of NPIP testing might affect egg production, not at all.

Our white Silkie - Cottonball - as named by DW we were not sure of sex, but yesterday lunch time I was out, saw Cottonball sat there, start singing and get up from laying an egg. So, now we are convinced she is female!!

All is great here, the 5 chicks are doing well, the one with splay legs will have it's leg restrainers removed tomorrow....... It has been named of couse - Baby..... And not by me may I add.....

Meredith...I have a pumpkin cheesecake recipe that I can share.

I have 2 questions about DE for the experts out there:

1) how can it be used as a wormer for poultry?

2) how can it be used to treat fleas on dogs? Cats?

I guess that was really 2.5 or 3 questions... Oops!

I have it, I use it, and if you get foo grade then you can use it for anything that will ingest it. Even people mix it with yogurt and eat it so I have read...
