Oh that's so good! You're the best kind of hermit.
Feel so much better knowing son is a chicken guy.

The saga continues. I think he is freaking out being blind and trapped in the house alone.
He wanted me to get him Orange juice.. and bring it over tonight.. I said ok after I put up the birds and go to the fitness center....I really needed to work out to get rid of some stress ya know....
and I would call at 7 before hand.. I call and I go and HIS SON IS THERE ( who has chickens so he must be ok)
The son is a very nice man. I said it didn't make sense for both of us to be there at the same time and when was best for him... he said nights and weekends, but not every night. I said good because those were bad times for me. Son and I exchanged numbers and I told the dad I would call him at 10am. I got out of dodge.
Also the dad had called the senior services earlier, and they said they would pull the worker.. then they said it would be a long time to get another... so I guess they decide that the worker would take him to appointments and such

The guy has no money to higher help.. (unless the son footed the bill, he has a business in Chicago)... I opened up the bank and retirement mail for him.... if had know I wouldn't have been charging him for eggs. I had my suspicions and had given him extra eggs before when I had a ton... But he is too proud to take total freebies.
So I feel better that the son is involved, and I guess the brother was there in the afternoon too. So he was exaggerating or feeling lost or something. The family is around and not abandoning him.

Hey guys, I just found something interesting. Apparently, rats and mice can’t burp. So you can kill them with baking soda. It is even pet and wildlife safe because it is neutralized by the rat’s stomach acid. It is the second recipe listed in this article.

I see tiny mice sized cakes in the future here!

Thanks Rae! Interesting info.

I feel much less stressed after talking with the son... I was starting to freak about what I had gotten myself into by delivering eggs

That is really good news Mo!

He is lucky to have you in an emergency and not so emergency.
I am glad you exchanged #'s.

You want the baking soda raw so it doesn't lose the gaseous effects, so cake won't work.

I was being a bit silly.

You know, cake, flour, baking soda etc.... Made me think cake.

I will follow directions in the link you provided.
The mice I battle are to small to trip the traps and winter bucket trap is a no go.
Little jerks are running around in my coop. I need them gone.

 

[Chickassan]

You going to blow them up Henny?
That would be an awful death, just pop cause you can't burp or fart.
Iv'e felt like it was going to happen a few times myself.

Yeah not a pretty passing.

I will have to think on it.

They make me crazy messing around in my coop. They chewed a tiny hole in the corner of my pop door to get in.

I have so many mice in the house. I caught 2 by hand on the floor and counter. A bunch in traps. Now they avoid the traps and I can hear them in the spare bedroom and kitchen.
I had some old bait on a shelf and the mice got into it. I found a couple of dead one's a couple of weeks ago. With the snow I figured they wouldn't be going out... so I put the rest of the bait out.

Nope they can't burp or barf, one way street.

But how do we know this?!?
