Well he was still very little—less than six weeks old—and a real sweet little cuddler. Sometimes when I would hold him, he would climb on to my shoulder to perch. Now, I wear my hair up like 97% of the time so normally this wasn't an issue. But one day he tried to fly up to his usual spot and encountered....my hair. Down. He landed anyway but managed to get one foot tangled up. He panicked, tried to burrow deeper into my hair (for safety????) got more tangled, panicked more and started flapping his wings like crazy trying to fly away. Just about ripped my hair out in the process. My husband heard me shouting "chicken caught in hair! chicken caught in hair! CHICKENCAUGHTINHAIR!!!" and came to the rescue :oops:

That's hilarious! Birds and hair don't mix.:lau
 
No rain here today, I'm ok with that we've had plenty! Did get the fog though, it was like London here this morning. Keeps getting cold then almost hot like 50's yesterday and almost 70 today just weird weather.

It’s raining here—again— but I’m glad it’s not snow. We would be buried so I’ll take the mud and dirty chickens.
We have a fog warning too. Until 12:30 on Sunday. I had never seen fog like Chardon fog. It gives new meaning to “thick as pea soup”.

I'll send you some warm thoughts!


We had snow Sunday morning, but then it quickly melted away. It's so nice when it does that. I hope when you get warm you get some sun too to dry things up.


Ohhh I thought it was one of yours. I hope they have better results than I did.


Maybe their particular chickens won't eat it. Mine won't eat carrots, but other people say their chickens will eat anything. I've tried fresh carrots and even some that were soft from a can that we didn't eat all of. They're sitting in the yard right now. They also won't eat the stem of cabbages. It's always left behind then buried. They also weren't that excited about pumpkins, but other people said their chickens loved them. Picky princesses. They're probably holding out for more watermelon.

We are now a beautiful +10!!!
Really it is good because the roads are thawing. Sunshine is amazing.
A little dab'll do ya.

I give my chickens pumpkin to worm them.















Geez put down the bats! I was KIDDING!

I know pumpkin does NOT treat or prevent worms.

ummm this is goats though
Impacts of Results/Outcomes
Based on the results of these studies, the most promising natural/plant dewormer appears to be pumpkin seeds, especially when administered as a drench. Even though significant reductions were not observed, numerically the pumpkin seed groups had the lowest fecal egg counts and required fewer dewormings in most cases (Appendix 2 – 5). As for the other products tested, none appeared to have the fecal egg count lowering ability as pumpkin seeds. The information provided from this research provides small ruminant producers with results from controlled experiments utilizing four natural products. Therefore, they can make more informed decisions about whether or not to include any of these products in their parasite control regime.

Oh, yes hubby fell on the ice at work yesterday.
He took the full impact to his shoulder.
He's OK and that's what matters.

I should have said that I know pumpkin has not been proven to be an effective wormer.
More studies needed.

I was being a smarty-pants lol.
