NY chicken lover!!!!

[armorfirelady]

TOB my BCM Sophie has become very vocal as she gets older. O love her personality as well, she doesn't pick on her tot siblings at all. And I agree I'm jealous they don't have to shave their legs lol must wait till she molts those feathers come off them and she will look stubbly there lol

As for dogs and rodents. My bear and lily have taken care of my squirrel population (they stay outside the dogs boundary now) and bunnies no longer come around after 2 springs of Lily finding nests and bringing be the babies . Chipmunks are faster so they are ok but mice and moles are doa if found by them dogs as well.

Aria ~ Did you figure out the photo upload? I saw your post but everyone responded the same as what I would have told you. When I am on my PC, there are two "bars" of options above the posting box. In the second row, 1st icon, there is a little frame with a mountain and moon/sun in it. Click on that. When you click on that a little box will pop up stating "Embed an image", click on Upload File. This will take you to your photo library like other's have stated and thats where you pick the photo and click sumbit. I wish this website would allow screen shots, it would make it much easier. 

LINDSAY, THANKS FOR RESPONDING. I OPEN BYC SITE. WHERE DO I FIND
THE BARS OF OPTIONS ABOVE THE POSTING BOX? THEY DO NOT APPEAR ON THE
OPENING SITE.

Sorry for everyone's loses. House of Knaus, especially your aunt. But also all the chicken deaths.

Aria, on my iPad, the square you want is next to the quotation marks, which you may have used. Perhaps your set up is different. My problem with doing pix is that that only takes me to photos that I have previously posted, not the hundreds stored on the iPad.

Chipmunks aren't okay at my house haha we have a woodpile that they hide in and the dogs will spend hours outside stalking that woodpile. We have given up stacking the wood since they pull all of it out anyway to get to them. Who needs cats? Haha

It might be your computer. When I'm on BYC at work (as I am now...opps) I can't post pictures, do multiple quotes, or shrink down what I quote. I don't even have the little boxes that are normally there...it might be the way the security settings are, or what browser you're using. You could try a different browser?

My dogs love the wood pile as well since the bunnies build their nests in it in the spring. Chillies love to hide in to along with the moles and mice. My dogs spend hours there as well but thankfully they don't pull it down. Climb it yes but don't pull it down. They like fall when we move it into the garage as well since they can smell all the critters that have been in it. On a funny note the chipmunk is quick but tends to go up the downspouts when dogs are close. My Bear will spend the whole day there sniffing and pawing at that downspout till the chipmunk leaves. I normally have to put the dogs in then come shake the downspout till the chipmunk falls out

House of Knaus - so sorry

Same for all the odd chicken losses now ! Very sad for all of you.

Aria - that screen shot with the arrow is the best advice but my own advice is .... the more frustrated you get, the worse. Shake it off - smile at your computer and calmly and SLOWLY just read what is there and when you hover your mouse over one of those symbols - and WAIT - PATIENCE - your computer should pop up text telling what that symbol will do. My mountain and moon will say insert text ....

Slow - most people I help who are not computer friendly or knowledgeable - tend to tap a button or click and hurry too fast to the next - thereby bogging down the commands the computer is receiving. So think of it as a reading screen first - and then click on buttons.
