TSC strikes again. I feel sorry for people who don't know what they are doing when they buy from TSC.

Oh no! I would not be happy at all!

Poor OP. They just saw all the responses.

At least the OP didn't ask how to keep them alive for longer than they should be kept.

@Chickassan that is a tall tractor! Love the eggies! Who photobombed the pic?

Yeah it is a bit much isn't it? Lol!
I can stand up in there no problem, think it is 5ft but it does give the babes loads of space to flap around and I just didn't feel like cutting pipe so it is huge.
My photo bomber is Negan my sweet, extremely nosy rooster and dad to everybody in the brooder.

Most inappropriate egg laying site award goes to the hen who thought the poop bucket was a good spot.

Wow, Nice! You should post your poop bucket pic in the unusual laying spots thread.

Hahaha! Someone or two always drops them on the poop board.

Pretty eggies.

I suppose. There isn’t blood in every poop, but she has only had 2 days of dewormer.

Has anyone had worms (chickens with worms) and done treatment. I would assume it is normal to feel bad on treatment, like people too.

When I dewormed no one acted any different & I never saw any worms in their poop. Not that there weren't any... I just never saw them.

This is a house of a million doors and they all have fancy decorative easy to open flipper handles because the previous owners had a kid in a wheelchair.
The dog and cat have both mastered opening them.
The dog even figured out how to push the handle DOWN and pull the door TOWARDS himself to let himself out.

As in OUT out.
Like BYE!
SEE YA!
I’m going to leave and get lost now!

So DH had to replace them a few weeks ago with traditional turn-y type doorknobs on the doors that lead out to the “WORLD”. So apparently we only need 15 more.

I was going to ask how he got in there w/ all those doors. Smart animals!

I'm glad that my parents can take him if I really need a break. I just hope we can get moved in and settled for at least a few weeks before baby comes. Though that is starting to look iffy since I only have 2 months to go until my due date. Unless things really get cracking, we might still be in the farmhouse when baby comes.

I close my bathroom doors because the dogs invade my privacy. Just recently, I have started to escape to the bathroom just to have a quiet moment aways from the kid and hubby. Sometimes I lose track of time The child is usually one annoying when he is grounded.

I'm not even going to say how long I'll lay in the bath tub avoiding children and responsibilities.. They'll come in to use the toilet, but I keep the curtain drawn and run the water periodically to keep it warm while I play on my phone..

Aww, that "are they supposed to be bald?" question always gets me.
Poor person, but if you don't know, you don't know pretty crappy because it really seems like TSC sees these people coming a mile away.

I envy those with bathroom privacy, they don't sell that here.
One bathroom two adults, one will come in and do WHATEVER while the other is trapped in the tub...hint it isn't me!
No cat privacy either, she knows if you're on the toilet you aren't going anywhere so you should pass the time petting her.
If you don't she'll either kill your toilet paper OR jump in her box and challenge you to a duel....she always wins.

They grow so fast their feathers generally can't keep up.
